davefrk Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Yes, pre-group Southern bufferstops, LBSC which was on the bench but got pushed aside for the NER hopper wagon buffer this can now be finished off then LSWR and possibly something SECR. And.... Someone had sent me a photo of an Irish railbuilt bufferstop, now there's an idea but what gauges to make it for. Hope that helps, Dave.

A new range of tools suitable for our products including the very fine EXPO HSS drills on individual cards or sets of eight from 0.3mm to 2.0mm. Oilers with plastic compatable oil, EXPO German made cutting broaches which are very nice indeed (not the Chinese copies). Industrial quality 145 degree solder wire which I've been using for years. Selftapping screws as supplied with our chassis kits for fitting to plastic or metal bodies, complete with the correct drill.

Dave, is the bulk pack going to be available on any other buffers (such as B003)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Dave, is the bulk pack going to be available on any other buffers (such as B003)? No sorry, I only considered it for this release as the mould worked so well. I've kept the prices of most of the items the same for five years just by getting better at making the moulds more productive and I'm told it's a good price for what they are. Dave Franks.

davefrk Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Just thinking about something someone said a wee while ago. Bufferstops at station platforms often have loco buffers attached to a wooden beam which is then attached to either the railbuilt beam or directly to the bufferstop beam brackets. I've made a wooden beam with holes in to locate said loco buffers and this is what it would look like, mocked up with Bluetac..... Ofcourse it could be fitted with any loco or wagon buffer, even more modern OLEO diesel buffers have been fitted this way. So what do you think? would it be a goer.

cheesysmith Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 If the wooden buffer beam for use with the buffer shown above has 2.4mm holes in it, you could replace the cast buffers with Hornby sprung ones avalible as spares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Cheesysmiff, please wash your mouth out with soap.... Mentioning Hornby buffers over Lanarkshire Model's products. Anyway, hopefully I'll remember to put one in the next mould with the LBSC buffer that's nearly done. Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Hi People, just an update on the latest bufferstop. The LBSC bufferstop is nearly ready for the mould so should be available at the EMGS AGM in December along with the BR1 and BR2 sprung tender chassis for EM and P4. Also, please note:- we do not sell Pattern Makers Dowels and haven't done for over two years despite what Google says. Dave .

davefrk Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Okay, pictures taken of the masters for the LBSC bufferstop which will be in the mould over the weekend, held together with Blu-tac.... The bolts are very close on the real thing so a different assembly idea was needed as this wouldn't do the rubber mould any good. Assistance acknowledged and gratefully received from 'The Brighton Circle' in the production of this kit. Bufferstop to be released at EMGS AGM/ Open day at Hexham on the 8th December Dave Franks. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ianLMS Posted November 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2018 lovely work - the bolt detail really is special! I have some of your LNWR buffer stops and they really do look nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Okay, the new LBSC Rly bufferstop BS26 is now available on the website along with the wooden bufferbeam with the two buffers and of course the new BR tender chassis for BR1 and BR2 type tenders. And after a few requests a wooden beam with loco buffers attached as used in station platforms etc. On the website there is a drop down menu so you can pick your choice of loco buffer or oleo buffer. BR tender chassis have been a long time gestating and I hope you'll like them, I've had a couple running on the Wharfeside layout for a month or so and I have to say being fully sprung they just glide along..... BR1 tender chassis for all BRI types mainly the larger BR locos but some medium types particularly on the Southern region.. BR2 tender chassis, the smaller tender for the medium locos like 75xxx, 76xxx and 77xxx. Tender chassis for EM and P4 gauges only, made to fit Bachmann locos and with simple modification of the underframe DJH kits, all covered in the instructions. Wheelsets not included. The home page now has the date December 2018 so if you don't get that then delete your favourites listing, use and save the link below. Don't trust Goooogle to find it either as they take ages to update their listings. All the best, Dave Franks 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
