rogirbu Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I acquired this sprue of detailing parts. It clearly includes 4 buffers and some hoses but...... Does anyone recognise what it originally belonged with? Can anyone identify what the other pieces are meant to be used for? Expert help greatly appreciated.

Regards, John Isherwood. PS. The other components are buffer heads and door banger springs. Edited November 15, 2019 by cctransuk 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogirbu Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Wow, I didn't expect a reply that quick! Thanks John. I guess it must have come from a Parkside kit - I think they were the only Grampus kits. So- not much use to me. I'll see if anyone on eBay can make use of it, otherwise it goes into the "scrap-heap challenge" odds and ends box. Regards Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
