Nice work with those. I have always thought that Peco's products were a bit behind the times, they have the occaissional piece of kit for modern railways but there are other manufacturers in other countries that seem to be doing a very good job at making modern and historic kit for our lineside needs.

Sorry to keep going with the Peco rant but I also think that a lot of their products could do with a good update such as the sleeper spacings, point work (making it level when looking at a cross section).

But back to my main point, great work with them. Have you thought about making a cast of it and then making the rest out of Resin? I am sure other people might be interested in buying a few.

Hi Stephen;

The thought of production does appeal...but with the shape and the lattice, resin casting is not really a goer. Splitting the buffer into 2 or 3 pieces may make it a little better. However, with only 9 pieces anyway from 4 different styles/sizes of plastruct, it is not onerous to build....just fiddly.

I have constructed a second one yesterday to a refined design, and although it looks similar, it is slightly different. I will be further refining the design a little, as Phil H has kindly sent me a few reference pics.

Later;
