May have imagined this however what was the thing where you can put your face on it or hand and it's like a spikey thing. When you take yer face or hand off it stays the shape of it, shake it n goes away

This?

Bingo . What was it called? Thought it was another name , what dunno

Sorry G_Man, I thought you'd get it because it was named in the gif I posted. "PINPOINT" but retro. Goes by a few other terms but that's according to the region and country it was sold in.

So did my gran & grandad. The needles came in a wee box iirc.

It ended up being used as a rabbit hutch!

Hornby > Tri-ang

12 Rule St etc. etc.

Nah! you're probably right. 

Later on I built up a Hornby collection plus stuff I bought in Germany, France and Canada. Later when I became mature enough to realise I was never going to build a permanent layout I put it all on e-bay and some bod from British Rail bought the lot for a tidy sum
