73107 tucked in behind 73141 at the buffers in the old international shed at Waterloo on the GBRf ‘Out of the Ordinary’ tour.
40028 (l) & 40090 (r) sit buffered up to each other in "A" sidings at Liverpool Lime Street on 13th January 1982.
"Samaria" was withdrawn in October 1984 and scrapped at Crewe Works in February 1988.
British Railways Wolverton works class 504 two car 1200V DC 3rd rail electric multiple unit M65458, M77179 (nearest) of Bury Traction Maintenance Depot passes Bury South signal box forming a Manchester Victoria to Bury service. Monday 31st December 1979
(1/500, F4/5.6)
Note, M77179 was built at British Railways’ Wolverton works as part of Lot Number 30478 in 1959 as driving trailer composite number M77179, entering service on 7th November 1959 paired with driving motor open brake second number M65458. It was declassified as a driving trailer second in 1962 and was rebuilt as a driving trailer open second later in the 1960s
Bury South signal number 6 is carried on a right hand bracket lattice post and consists of a pair of colour light searchlight signals with a set of "cats eyes" subsidiary signal beneath each searchlight
The train is on what used to be the Down Fast line and the adjacent line which ends in buffer stops used to be the Down Slow line. When the Down Slow was in use the bracket used to carry 7 signal (down slow home) which was a similar arrangement to 6 signal

I've uploaded some scans from old negatives taken of Ulverston Goods Yard in February 1985. They're not great quality but I've put them up as they show the Goods depot in use. Not sure about the loco ID but from this shot it looks like 25309, a Kingmoor based engine at the time. After running round in the yard the train heads east on the up line through the station. The buffers - terminating the yard's headshunt - can just be seen on the left of the picture below the up signal gantry controlling the junction. The yard is located behind the train where the old yellow B.R. Leyland crewbus is parked.
Just something new!
I loved this photo of a cicada that I took so I wanted to play around with it. I decided to add the buffering logo because sometimes you can't wait around for things to inspire you.
You have to sit back and let life buffer a little bit before taking a step forward. It's okay to just relax and take your time.
I wasnt really happy with the last method, so this is my revised method which I'm far happier with.
Pic shows original buffer on top right of shot, and new version in foreground.
The lower left of shot shows the parts used in construction. Obviously solid 3mm bars dont need to be used, but they were closest to hand for the picture.
Using 3mm flex tube would allow this to be used in pretty much any model if the coupling distance between stock allows it.

I showed up Monday morning at a Lazuli Bunting nest site I had made several previous visits to and rounding the blackberry patch I found both parents sitting about 3 feet above the nest each with a grasshopper in it's beak fluttering their wings calling to the thick brambles below, the parents turned and looked at me briefly as I set up my tripod in it's usual spot hoping they would see I am honoring our buffer zone I established with them on previous visits.
As Mom continued to watch me Dad worked his way down into the thick vines where the nest was hidden, I figured it was pretty much business as usual and Dad would come back out and go in search of another grasshopper but when he flew out from under the leaves he not only still had the grasshopper but also a youngster flapping furiously trying to follow him, Dad landed on a teasel seed head a few feet from the nest but the youngster blew right through those thick spiny stalks and crash landed on a fat blackberry vine, Mom immediately flew over and offered up her grasshopper which was met with lots of wing flapping and then a brief pause as the youngster looked around taking in the sights with Mom before taking a 2nd flight to chase Dad down and get him to give up that grasshopper which was used to lure it out of the safety of the nest.
37702 + 37704 return with more coal for Aberthaw Power Station. 37702 sports distinctive rectangular buffers.

Not quite as elegant but it was fun to build and it's fairly robust.
It just slot's onto the end of a track section.
Adorned with plants by my wife.

The Squires decided to extend the house with a small extension at the back.
Still wanting to retain a garden, yet confined by the Railway, Neighbours and Allotments, they opted for a modest single storey extension.
The buffer stop at the end of the line at Penton Station can just be seen - lets hope the train doesn't overrun!

It's an interesting view to watch a train come up to the buffers infront of you (ableit slowly) on a head-on shot.
LNWR's EMU unit 350253 slowly arrives on platform 7 at Crewe station with the terminating 1U31 service from Euston. With a 19 minute turnaround, the train then forms the 1U32 service back to Big Smoke.
I almost forgot about these two buffers, from about 4 months ago. The one to the left is supposed to be somewhat faded - note the duller colours towards the right. Not sure the idea works too well, it's just an experiment. The buffer on the right is closer in design (I hope) to many buffers seen here in the UK.
