In my experience there are no reliable UK dealers, at least at anything like a reasonable price. I gave up on that quest some years ago, and I fear you will have to do the same.
The customs thing is a bind, but we have to grasp the nettle. I find it cost-effective to import about $500 worth at a time, including postage charges, which usually work out about 90-ish dollars. On arrival in UK, customs duty will be in the £80-100 range (a 20% charge plus a flat rate £12 handling fee if coming via the Parcel Force hub at Coventry - the normal route). It is the only way to get some of the lovely locos now available, as most are now pushing very close to the $200 price point, without the decoder you want.
