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.
Harry Needle liveried 20314 tails the 1Z22 Eastbourne to Brighton, Pathfinder 'Buffer Puffer 13' rail-tour at Hazelwood foot crossing.
This a Lanarkshire Models buffer stop which I’ve widened with a coffee stirred to create a reasonable impression of a Belgian buffer stop.
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

20107 passes Hazelwood foot crossing, Eastbourne, on route out of Eastbourne with the 1Z22 Eastbourne to Brighton section of 'Buffer Puffer 13'
Two Tone green liveried class 25 locomotive 25322 'Tamworth Castle' (25912, D7672) is receiving some cosmetic attention before backing onto its last train "The Rat Requiem" railtour to Leeds, and in doing so bringing to an end the reign of the class on British Rail, they went by the name 'rats' but they were also known as Sulzer Type 2, In total 327 locomotives were built between 1961 and 1967, at Derby, Darlington and at Beyer Peacock in Gorton.
New to Toton as D7672 on 25/2/67 Now Preserved

Seen facing south on Bury yard 45407 and its beautifull buffer. Something a little different from me.
A close up of the buffered HTA wagons used on the 4V01 service. The 4V01 leaves Hope (Earles Sidings) in Derbyshire at 00:22 and runs to Cwmbargoed DP via Margam & Aberthaw. The 4V01 runs with a maximum set of 18 buffered HTA wagons due to the fixed length of the sidings at Earles (1168ft), and the need for buffered wagons is that the shunter used at Hope is not buckeye coupling compatible. The coal from Cwmbargoed is mixed with coal from around the UK and is used to power the kilns in the Hope Cement Works. This 4V01 was powered by 66172 'Paul Melleney' and is seen passing northbound through Lisvane and Thornhill nr Cardiff with 17 empty buffered HTA's. Taken on Friday 24.10.2014
Most buffer cars on hazmat unit trains are older airslide hoppers, but this grain hopper managed to get drafted into that service. Built 4/75 for the Santa Fe as ATSF 315271, it still looks pretty darn good in its original paint.
