Yes detailing is without doubt my favorite part of projects, though the model shop in Gosport closed down two years ago, there is still a kind of model shop but seems to deal mainly in wargaming stuff, so it's sad to say that I get 99 % of materials etc. on line and apart from the postage and waiting for it, at least you can usually get what you are looking for.
Yes I know what you mean Derek a lot of the cars on the layout bring back memories, my first proper car was a Ford Popular, 0 to a top speed of 60 eventually
I did have a Isetta bubblecar before that but I won't go into that, suffice to say you can roll one over and back on to it's wheels I know that from first hand

I got around to making the petrol pump for Scripps garage so here's a few more pics if anyone is interested.
