davefrk Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hi all, some time ago Big Cheeseplant started a thread about a new range of buffers, they were initially available from 'Nairnshire Modelling Supplies' and this caused much confusion as the manufacturer was 'Lanarkshire Models & Supplies'. Now, the background to the similar names was that the retail arm of 'Lanarkshire' was sold to Nigel Burkin who renamed it 'Nairnshire'. The manufacturing side of 'Lanarkshire' was kept and has since been expanded with etched chassis products and loads more buffers. 'Nairnshire' no longer want to stock our products and are selling to exhaustion, (no explanation given). 'Lanarkshire Models & Supplies' now have their own website with all the products available for purchase via PayPal, Credit card or a cheque through the post. This week I've had two enquiries where the sender has been confused by the 'Nairnshire' website not having the full range available and didn't know about our own website at :- www.lanarkshiremodels.com Hopefully this post may lay to rest some of the confusion. All the best, David @ LMS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 With reference to Dave's products B019/20/21/22 having 13" heads and B023 having 16" heads, I have contacted Dave about the description of these products as GWR - as far as I know, the only standard round GWR buffer head diameters were 12", 15" and 18". (Some of the longer J diagrams did however have 16", 17", 18", 19" or 20" buffers, but these were specials.) It's possible of course some GWR wagons were fitted later in WR times with the then BR-standard diameter head (inherited from the LMS) of 13".

Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Aft'noon all, For anyone unfamiliar with Dave's buffers, they are the best, lovely crisp and accurate finish. You can give me the tenner later Dave!! Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickL2008 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hi- This range does look good, the oleo Buffers in particular, perhaps as a suggestion add the "plain" Oleo buffers of the later type, fitted to locomotives such as 33,47,57,86 etc , id certainly buy a fair few NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlislecitadel Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I've used a few of the LMS CCT and SR CCT buffers and they are superb. I ordered a batch more for upgrading Bachmann LNER steel opens on Monday night via Parkside Dundas and they arrived yesterday and look great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefrk Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 <iak said>"next?" I heard a rumour about some vacuum pipes once, but maybe there was nothing in it Ouch!!! Actually Mr Wizard, Tonight I'm just finishing off the masters for said Vac pipes, so there. Didn't you see the picture I posted a week or so ago. Plus four new buffers for EXPO North, all I'll say now is they have something to do with kettles.... Severly hurt, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
