davefrk Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hi people, well I've had a good day casting the new LMS coach buffers and having added them to the website I'm now sitting here packing said buffers. Does the website want to upload? Nope, another error message 'winsock error', what the hxll does that mean? Anyway I suppose I should show you what should be on the website whilst I'm waiting on the hosters getting back to me. Two new LMS coach buffers are now in stock and available to purchase, (if the website would upload). The first is a standard LMS coach buffer BC02 for Stanier coaches including Portholes, inspection saloons, 6 wheel fish vans and a few other passenger rated vans. With solid head as opposed to the earlier fabricated head. Straight out of the mould, no cleaning up required. The second buffer BC03 is for LMS bogie CCTs, e.g the old Lima LMS bogie CCT. With the slightly oval head and the later cropped top. Polished lightly with a 3M pad which shows up the turning marks of the master. And, the last of the GWR stopblocks BS14, a short bufferstop for loading docks, bay platforms, goods sheds and sidings where space is at a premium. Prices are the same as before and if you are desperate and the website isn't updated over the weekend you could always order BC01 or BS13 and send a message to say what you actually want...

Stanley Melrose Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Dave, When do you think you'll have some drilled so they can be sprung? Any chance for ExpoEM, for example? Stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hi Stan, sorry but I wasn't going to do any drilled ones till after EXPO, I just don't have the time before hand, lots of other buffers and bufferstops to cast, chassis to pack etc, etc. why couldn't the show be at the end of the month, yoi.

davefrk Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hi Dave how much are the solid buffers going to set me back Mark Hi Mark, same as the normal wagon and coach buffers. I've worked on the production techniques so the quality has improved but the prices will stay the same - £1.99 for a set of four plus P&P of course. A program of replacing older moulds was implemented earlier this year but there's still more to do.... Dave Franks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did detect a sort of Whitby moor tops type of accent... Porcy Bad news I'm afraid guys, I was working on a bufferstop especially for you lot, I was going to surprise you all this week with a nice new shiney NER bufferstop but time isn't going my way so it will be done for Scaleforum, the two sideframes are made and one is detailed with all the bolts and square washers so I promise it will be worth the wait. If anyone wants to guess how many 1mm square washers I'm having to make to detail this stopblock then, if they guess correct by this Friday they'll get a free bufferstop of their choice. Howzat.

RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted September 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hi Dave, Ref to:- a nice new shiney NER bufferstop If anyone wants to guess how many 1mm square washers I'm having to make to detail this stopblock then, if they guess correct by this Friday they'll get a free bufferstop of their choice. Howzat. Depends which of the various NE bufferstops you have chosen and if you did all of the washers on the real thing! So, 152 or 92 or 68 could be among the answers possible.

davefrk Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hi Phil, you're right of course, though the picture link of the coach buffer on the 'home page' worked okay. I'm told it was my fault, I'd changed the picture on the 'product page' and forgot to reset the link. The webmistress was up early this morning and it's sorted now, thanks. And the way they're selling we'll have none left for EXPO.... All the best, Dave Franks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
