Hornby Class 56 Sprung Buffers

[Hastings Thumper]

One of my 56s (R2647) 56128 'West Burton Power Station', has decided to eject 3 of 4 buffers around the layout.  I've found three springs but only 2 buffer heads so far - more searching later.

 

I can't work out what keeps the buffer and spring retained into the shank itself - do they just push back in and click into place somehow ?. 

 

Also, I can't find any spares in stock anywhere, so if anyone has a pack of X6192, X9790 going spare I'd be interested.  (also accessory pack  X10029 which seem equally elusive at the moment). 

 

Thanks
Sam

There is a Tiny circlip that goes on a recess on the buffer shaft.....good luck finding it  once my 56s had started ejecting their buffers I glued them into place...
