....as Mr. Woss would say!
Following a link from Trev in another posting, I ordered several packets from here:

They duly arrived in a couple of days, and I must say they are VERY nice - I was going to take a photo, but they are so tiny that I don't think it would show very much - suffice to say that for each lot you get a little grip-top baggie with what looks like about the specified number of vewwy (sorry, very) tiny teeny resin-cast rivets, bolts or whatever. The thing that makes these even nicer than some other makes I've seen is that these are all separate pieces, they are not on a sprue so you don't need to snip them off and then have to clean them up - just drill a hole to take the shank (the drill size required is specified on each packet), pick up a rivet in some tweezers and drop it in with a spot of superglue.
The largest size available is 1.8mm head diameter, which should look just about right on G scale locos - I suppose some slightly larger ones would be nice for certain applications, but I think these will do OK for things like cabs and water tanks. Once I get round to one of the projects that I have bought them for, I'll try to show them in use!
Jon.
