Transporting your Buffer could Not get any easier.
The size of your wheels Does matter. Steps are a breeze.
Since first setting my eyes upon the lines of red buffer stops at Waterloo station as a young lad of about 4 years old, I have had an affection for what was once such a widespread part of railway infrastructure. I personally couldn't think of a better pairing in Carlisle station than a 'Royal Scot' class 4-6-0 and the remaining hydraulic buffers in the north bay platforms 7 and 8. 46115 'Scots Guardsman' sets back towards Upperby depot having just arrived with the 'Waverley' from York on Sunday 29th July 2012.

The old buffer stops for the sidings to the east of Merchiston Station on the old Caledonian Mainline from Edinburgh Princes Street to the west. These sidings served a timber yard and the Edinburgh and Dumfriesshire Dairy.
On the old route of the Caledonian Mainline from Edinburgh Princes Street to Carstairs and Glasgow Central in the west. The line remains open as far as Slateford Yard, where it now diverts north to Haymarket and Waverley stations.
On the rear of 6G49 London Euston to Bescot Up Engineers Sidings, 66755 Tony Berkeley OBE passes the green bridge at Water Orton, next to a wagon conveying tow buffer stops.
Recent tree and bush clearance have revealed the buffer stop at the bay platform at Ladybank Station where trains from Kinross would terminate.

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.

British Railways Standard 4-6-2 70013 Oliver Cromwell at the buffer stops with the stock of the Sussex Belle after a great day out.
Note the red tail lamp - we were pulled back to Southall via Willesden SW Sidings and Acton Yard by West Coast Railways Class 37 diesel 37676.
The shed plate 12A refers to Carlisle Kingmoor mpd, Cromwell's British Railways allocation until January 1967. Today it is based at Loughborough shed on the Great Central Railway when not on main line duties. The SC plate beneath the shed plate indicates a Self Cleaning smokebox which in this case is just that because very little ash and char remains in the box as the grills around the blastpipe break it up and the blast carries it out of the chimney.

The line runs over a cliff and has the buffer on it. As a computer person I like to refer to this as "buffer Overflow" (I think I'm funny)
This occupy movement is geographically "based" in the Buffer Zone, which currently marks the split between the Republic of Cyprus, a member of the EU, and the other half of the island occupied by Turkey. The movement calls this the Dead Zone as no one is allowed to live there, no new buildings are allowed to be erected, etc.
From the Occupy Buffer Zone website:
"the so-called ‘Cyprus problem’ is a result of the competitions that are created in capitalism and expresses the interests of local and international forces in the region. Thus we considered it important, T/Cs [Turkish Cypriots] and G/Cs [Greek Cypriots] jointly, to transfer the protest to the space of the dead zone, a point of the island which semiotically describes all of the above."
'The track ends here gentlemen' says the buffers as First Scotrail's Class 170, 170426 unloads passengers after arrival from Glasgow Queen Street and First Scotrail Class 158, 158717 awaits its next duties on the service to Thurso and Wick in the stabling road.

6 April 2014. Khor Abeche: General view of the settlement for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) inside the UNAMID base in Khor Abeche, South Darfur. According to the community leaders, more than 3,000 IDPs still remain inside the Mission's compound, following the attack that they suffered by an armed group on March 22. About 300 heavily armed men attacked the IDP camp, setting fire to dozens of shelters and stealing livestock belonging to the residents.
The World Food Programme (WFP) have already distributed food (sorghum) to the IDPs and the UNAMID base provide potable water and health care, while a team of 35 UNAMID engineers are currently constructing a 70,000 m2 Buffer Zone, with watch towers, solar lights, two community centers and latrines at the vicinity of the base, where the IDPs will be able to securely settle in the near future.
