The original AJ Reeves went into liquidation late 1990’s quite sad really as they were in my opinion a leading specialist in Model Locos etc. The dissolved company was bought up by a guy who owned a car towbar a trailer manufacturing company in Tamworth and relocated it to a site near Appleby Magna. He managed to hold on to a couple of the AJ Reves staff too, with all that knowledge quite a smart move.
I have a feeling that they have moved again, but not too far away. It seems that they are doing ok now.
