Well since the thing is about a 1/4" long I don't think most rivet counters would look for a toggle switch in this size ... Then there are some people who would & also some who would model a switch ... but not Me ... :woohoo: :bat :salute

On a more serious note here's where I'm at in making this Gas station ... I will be making a sales counter, more detail parts will have to be made ... & purchased

I made the pump Island ... :good:

I also put the gravel on ... I use 50% Elmer's wood glue & 50% water with a couple of drops of dish soap ... it breaks surface tension and water mixture flows better.

I installed the pumps on the island & the overhang's braces ... :good:
