Is there a building for a scrap metal dealer or one anyone could reccomend, not too big as its for Novahill.

Nick - you could always use a PortaKabin for the office [available from Kibri, Noch, and (I think) Busch in HO] - Near me is a vehicle breaker, and that is exactly what they use, with a couple of wooden sheds, and an old caravan for storing stuff - and don't forget a couple of junk-yard dogs! You could always use a grounded Steel Boxcar or caboose for the office, with windows and a door cut in the sides - if you are modelling SoCal get a couple of airconditioning units from Unit Models in UK. Also do a Google for "Larrys Truck and Electric" for ideas.
