RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted November 30, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2019 Hi Could not find these on here so if mods could put in right place if I got it wrong. Check out the IRM website for the Rawie bufferstops being delivered now - mine in the post box today and a lovely modern bufferstop complete with sets of the friction blocks and a useful gauge to get these correctly placed - I am sure that our compresive skills will mean not all get fitted on most models. https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/buffer-stops Robert 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

25901 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Quite a few of the real Rawie buffers I’ve seen in service don’t have the friction blocks but extra clamps on the main body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slg Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Just got a pair from Kernow very impressed with them. I know the buffers in this video aren't yours but how often to you see them being tested 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham108 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Just received a set for my DC layout - only concern I had was the lights only come on when the train is departing - surely on the prototype if they're not on permanently they would light up when the train is arriving? As I plan to have them lit permanently I'll wire them to a separate feed anyway. Does anybody know if there's a prototype for using them in goods yards etc, or are they only used in stations?

Hi Bartram, On DC, just like a loco, or lightbulb, the LED will only light when power is applied. We suggest providing a permanent / switched 12v supply to the section of track the buffer sits on when running DC (or using high frequency rail cleaners) The LED versions are typically used on termini and sidings near running lines, but the unlit versions can be used in any setting (but as always there is a prototype for everything ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a loco owner I can say "sod that at speed", never mind testing the buffers your tests the loco as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
