Hobby / model shops in Dorset

[MikeDunn]

Hope those in Dorset can pipe up here

I have a colleague who's thinking about getting his 7yo some nice toys for Christmas - current favourites are either a OO set (I know ...  ) or a r/c car (they have some small ones, he's thinking of larger ones but not into the fuel ones - still battery).

He's based near Poole - what shops are down Dorset way that handle this kind of stuff he could go to ?

Setchfields on Poole High Street down by the quay have all the OO you need plus N and plastic kits.

There's also Model Railway Solutions http://www.platformmodelsltd.co.uk/index.php on Alder Road (just outside of Poole) and the Bournemouth Model Centre on Holdenhurst Road.

Pretty sure there's a place in Christchurch for RC cars, Lesro Models but their website trashed my browser!

Best regards
