cypherman Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hi all, I was considering replacing the rather worn buffers on my co-bo with newer ones. Does any one make a decent replacement set for this engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted February 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2021 How about these? http://www.lanarkshiremodels.com/lanarkshiremodelsandsupplieswebsite_136.htm You may have to modify them to look right on the HD model to get them on/in the pedestals/shrouds No connection with company other than a very happy customer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherman Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hi Phil, Thanks for the link. I cannot tell from the picture as to whether they are round or oval buffers. I need oval buffers for this engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 EBay seller 'locospares2' often has original HD buffers for sale (no connection beyond highly satisfied frequent customer). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherman Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hi iI Grifone, I checked and unfortunately he has none. The nearest I can find to the original buffers are a set of sprung Hornby class 31 buffers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Scale' buffers are nearer to the prototype whereas the Dublo are beefed up for the toy market. Really it depends whether you wish to 'detail' or 'restore' the model.

cypherman Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hi all, Phil I have ordered a set of those buffers from Lanarkshire models. At £2.50 you cannot go wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
