unknown coach springs and buffers, help to identify please


Recommended Posts

In a recent eBay lot purchase there amongst the items I wanted these castings

At a guess I assume these are coach springs and axle boxes from a 4 or 6 wheel coach and a set of what look to be an early style of buffer. Does anyone recognize them please

May be from that era as they came with some Center Models loco bodies,  I think from what I remember K's never did white metal buffers like these (the early ones were turned brass)

 

I have an old K's catalogue and the wagon/coach buffers were turned brass and the springs and axel boxes has a flat bar at the top to fit behind the solebar

 

The length of both the springs and the buffer shanks look more coach like rather than wagon. The buffers also look to be early pre grouping. May be one of the early etched kit makers?

 

More interested in what vehicle rather than kit maker
