Buffer Stops (part 3)
I think I've solved the mystery of how the buffer stop at Dunmere Wharf might have been constructed. Below are a few photos of the current buffer stop at Boscarne on the Bodmin & Wenford Railway. Apart from Dunmere buffer stop having a wooden buffer beam this one seems to be very similar to the photos in my previous posting on buffer stops here.

Are you thinking of modifying (e.g.) a Mikes Models cast whitemetal bufferstop to make one of those?
ReplyDeleteIf not, you'll need to be able to bend rail in the sideways direction. There used to be a tool for that, and the Scalefour Society is just in the preliminary stages of seeing if we can manufacture a re-run of them. Watch the Society website for news if it happens...
