Buffer Stops, A Whistle Stop Tour Of Them On The Dunny Reichsbahn

[dunnyrail]

That Stop at Lindenburg was in an even more parlous state when I looked at it Today. But I have still not given up on it. So I filled up the Screw Hole with Clear Silicone then cut a piece of Lead Sheet to sit on that. I wonder how much longer it will now last?

Inspired by Jon's excellent thread I decided that reclaimed sidings needed some new buffers.

This has been a most interesting tour....real enjoyable picking up ideas.....at this stage I only have two buffers ,one siding and one on the Railcar line.....Had a surplus of blue leds from some other forgotten project so the buffers now have blue lighting

Glad we do not need to put up with those kind of Hazards in UK. I gather even the Dunny can be a problem due to a certain kind of Spider in your neck of the Woods! Only problems we appear to have is Killer Moths from the EU. Would not be surprised if this Years UK Plague of Slugs comes from the EU as well. Imported on Millions of Lorries that appear x EU each Year.

No, slugs are due to it not having been cold enough over winter to kill the little blighters off!
So we will get 'Invasion of giant slugs' headlines by the autumn..
