A flavour of the golden age of steam… Hunslet 0-6-0ST saddle tank engine No. 1873 ‘Jessie’ on the Pontypool and Blaenavon heritage railway in South Wales. This steam locomotive was built in 1937 by the Hunslet Engine Company in Leeds and was delivered new to Guest Keen & Baldwins Iron & Steel Company. It spent all of its working life at the East Moors steelworks in Cardiff as No. 18 in the fleet.
The massive size of its buffer beam indicates how hard it was expected to work as an industrial engine hauling ladle wagons of slag to the sea shore tip, or pushing 100 – 150 ton torpedo wagons of molten iron ore between the blast furnaces and the melting shop. It could pull trains of over 1000 tons on the level.

Critically endangered Red-eyed lichen frog (Duellmanohyla soralia) from Cusuco Natonal Park, Honduras, Central America.
Cusuco National Park is a unique cloud forest ecosystem located in the peaks of Honduras' Merendon mountains. Only 23,440 hectares in total size with more than half consisting of the buffer zone, the future of the parks reptiles and amphians is in jeopardy with increased habitat loss from encroaching unsustainable coffee farms. Exacerbating the problem, the amphibian chytrid fungus has high prevalence rates in some of the parks most endangered species.

Typical Danish plain buffer stop made of steel and cement.

Very high setting render from Stud.io.
At the peak of vibrant fall colours, an eastbound VIA train scoots along the wrong main to get around a slower freight train ahead. While VIA now requires buffer cars for its HEP fleet - parts of which date back to 1947, I was lucky this one had matching HEP cars acting as buffers on either end.
DRS Class 37/0 37069 leads the Pathfinders Tours' "Buffer Puffer 15.0" railtour through Earley station at speed.
Basic bent rail buffers. Would look belter if parts where available in brown to simulate rust. White maybe a viable option as they where often painted. All photos I have seen show timber to be weathered grey.
