On the right, ceramic wick, for a project that will appear on here in the not too distant future. On the left, something actually useful - insulated track clamps. My garden railway is clamped together, but this causes an electrical problem as the points don't self-isolate. Plastic clamps are the solution. I need four, and had to buy 10, but I'm sure the spares will come in handy one day...
Finally, tiny plastic ducks. Several wagons were running around with some in, and eventually I spotted them on sale from Tony Green Steam. For a quid a pack. I bought two. No idea what to do with them yet, but I'm sure they will be duckerating something soon!

I agree about the interest in bubble cars.
I am guessing that the Isetta is for the twin rear wheel varient that was sold everywhere but in the UK. The challenge is to build it as a UK 3 wheeler!
You do know Leigthon Buzzard had one? https://www.facebook.com/OnlineTransportArchive/photos/another-unusual-image-from-phil-tatt-it-seems-to-be-an-isetta-bubble-car-convert/2721561481425847/?_rdr
I did, but thanks for reminding me. Hmmmm
The Isetta is the 3-wheel version. And I have been measuring for 45mm gauge. More thinking required...
I once worked with a man who was restoring a bubble car. He went quiet after a while, so I asked him how he was getting on. It turned out that he was getting ready to work on it one day, setting up a paraffin heater in the garage to warm it up before starting work, the heater fell over in the wind, the garage caught fire and the car melted.
