    parkside o gauge buffer kits are soo annoying, those little rings either keep fallng off or you cloigg the stocks with glue, why cant they just be on the stock casting

      Try PlasticWeld glue - I think they are made from ABS which is stronger than normaly styrene.

      we use shipping containers with rails inside for storing 2ft gauge loco's. Then just a ramp to get them out. Quick and handy
