Replacement buffers for Dapol class 58?

[jamespetts]

I recently bought a secondhand Dapol class 58 which is missing one buffer: the missing buffer appears to have broken off the shank in the shaft, so I anticipate that any replacement will have to be glued.

 

Does anyone have any idea where I can find one of these? I have had no luck with Peter's Spares.

I went into DCC Supplies website and looked for spare buffers as there is plenty of spares there. There were no Class 58 buffers however, there were a pair of Class 35 "Hymek" buffers with their oval shape. Link below:

Hope this helped

Thank you. I am not sure whether they are quite the right size, but I have ordered some as it is likely to be better than a gap at least.

Another option is to loose the other three buffers and replace them all with turned brass ones from BH Enterprises (assuming they still stock such a thing!).
