Earlier that afternoon at Leicester North station Stanier 8F 2-8-0 48624 stops at the very furthest south point on the modern Great Central Railway - beyond the buffers (incidentally from Marylebone) the embankment has been removed.

often overlooked but without them the locomotive could not move any wagons or coaches

Typical Danish buffer stop made of steel and cement.

 

Left: 38 parts

Right: 37 parts

 

The model probably can't withstand anything other than very slow-moving trains.

With white wheel rims, yellow axle boxes and red buffer beam a “bulled up” 44004 Great Gable heads light engine from Nottingham past Lenton South Junction, 3rd September 1980.

 

Locomotive History

Originally D4 it was delivered to Camden in October 1959 but almost s immediately returned to Derby on loan for Midland Line duties. It was transferred back to Camden during April 1960 and became a regular performer on the 07.45am Crewe - Euston. For the period September 12th - 24th 1960 D4 worked a number of trials with unbraked mineral trains between Cricklewood and Toton, a fore runner to its future. It transferred to Toton in March 1962 for freight duties and would be based there for the rest of its BR career. By the time of the photograph the end was in sight and during November 1980 the last three class 44's were withdrawn, including 44004 which was initially stored at Toton. Following withdrawal it was purchased for preservation and is currently (October 2017) based at the Midland Railway Centre.

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.

4306,4520 Stands at the Buffer Stops at Central, as they prepare to run around their train

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.

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.

Another Simple build for a layout, It should be functional too due to the way I designed it.
