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.
My second LEGO moc on flickr.
Inspired mainly by this By Karwik
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.
My daughter said the cat looked like he was buffering. Thought it was funny so I made this. i'm not sure he will ever stop buffering however.

Wow, they are very old!

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.
Stourbridge town has two buffer stops, the nearest one has spring loaded Oleo buffers to meet the front of a runaway diesel railcar. Those days are long gone since the arrival of the class 139's. This is 139001 "Stourbridge Lion" arriving at Town Station.

Derailment at Brierley Hill, photographed at 10:45 on Tuesday 9th April 1996. The shot was taken from Bull St bridge.
The previous day, Easter Monday, vandals had released the brakes on an Italian-registered cargowaggon parked in Moor St yard. It ran away on the falling gradient and was diverted into the headshunt. The exit points from the yard would always be set for the headshunt when the signalbox was unmanned, it's a routine safety precaution against runaways.
The wagon demolished the buffer stop, and the leading bogie was completely derailed. Bescot no longer had a breakdown crane by this date, so 47702 brought the crane from Toton (near Nottingham).
The Class 60 is 60096. It had worked that morning's steel train from Margam (Port Talbot) to Round Oak, and had nipped down from Round Oak to assist.

Took these last weekend, still not sure about them though?
Supposed to be more prototypical by fitting onto the track which they do well.....no strength if you use them as a stop though!
I've seen few like this, the majority appear to have a vertical leg running up to the apex, which I will try next as it will also allow the cross beam buffer stop to be positioned onto those better
