rogirbu Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Bought an Oxford Rail snow plow for my Dean Goods. Removed buffers (tight push fit) for the plow but it is a fairly loose fit and so it falls away as soon as the loco moves.. I don't want to make a permanent fit by using regular glues as it would be nice to be able to revert to "normal". Any suggestions for a secure but removable way of fitting.

cypherman Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi, Any chance you could use a small sliver of plasticard to make it a tighter fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogirbu Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Thanks for your reply Plasticard would be a nightmare because access is so awkward. However you started a new line of thought. Could I fashion a thin ferrule to fit over the mounting pegs? No- because it would be too thin to flimsy to handle. Then the answer came. Wrap something around the mounting peg. Small length of Tamiya masking tape. Works well and any future owner can easily remove it if they wish to refit the buffers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
