SteveyDee68 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi Views sought. Drawing pins as buffer heads on industrial locos? Purchased some yesterday from local pound shop, 10mm across, scale 2'6" (30") diameter. Is this simply too big in 4mm, or acceptable? Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon A Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Gibson wheels stock industrial buffers. Branchlines of Westbury may have some in stock. Gordon A 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JDW Posted June 3, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 3, 2019 I used them (but mine were posh ones - WHSmiths own brand!) on a Triang dock shunter project, they looked right, and certainly gave it that chunky industrial look. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiptonian Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Looks perfectly acceptable to me:- https://preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/peckett-sons-works-no-1438-neschelles-no-1-0-4-0st/ https://preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/peckett-sons-works-no-737-daphne-0-4-0st/ If you look at industrial railway photographs and videos, you will eventually see that you can get away with almost anything. If it looks right, do it. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
