I might do several posts in the next couple of days to summarise what I've been doing - I've been busy but there doesn't seem to be much to show for it! Nevertheless, I've tried to take some pictures along the way - this post is about buffers.
There are five end stops required at Swan Hill so it's worth making up a tool for bending rail and a jig for assembly. First up is the tool for bending rail on its wider axis so that it doesn't distort at the bend, followed by a (scruffy looking) jig for assembling the buffer stops and some views of the stops installed on the layout - some painting still required. The stops are based on the GWR double headed rail type illustrated in Tavender's 'Railway Equipment Drawings' but adapted for use up against a platform edge. They aren't a promine nt feature on the layout but the end of the line looks a bit forlorn without them.
Edit - pictures all in the wrong order - but self explanatory I hope!
