steven156 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I was down in South Ayrshire with my work and on my lunch break I tried to locate Doon Valley Models as I had seen them at a few shows in Scotland and wanted a wee browse and maybe see what caught my eye. Has anyone actually managed to find their premises? I tried my satnav in the van, and it said i had arrived at my destination, but the "destination" was in the middle of nowehere on a 60mph national speed limit road well outside of Patna village! I then headed back into Patna at the Post office I then cracked out my phone and tried googlemaps, it took me to the same bit in the middle of nowhere!

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted April 3, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3, 2010 Google Maps puts the postcode KA6 7LE at a farm at the end of a long lane in the middle of nowhere but the satellite view doesn't zoom in very far to get a good look at what's there - could they be renting a bit of space in a barn? Have they got a retail shop or is it just mail order and exhibitions? I got contact details from UKModelShops which also lists a phone number http://www.ukmodelshops.co.uk/shops/987-Doon_Valley_Models Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up that day to be honest, I had spent all of the day driving some hairy roads in South Ayrshire with work and wanted a wee sleep for the remainder of my break!

It could be that they use that as an address for correspondence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
