USATC & Vintage Buffers/exchage
Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2015 1:31 pmHello together,
some time ago I was looking at the buffers of the Klein USATC wagons (Tankcars, closed goods and flats) and the REE models S-100 (Δα 51-70) steam locos and realised that these were not like on the Greeks. Probably also the S-160 from DJH and Roco will need replacements. The greek locos and wagons retained the original ones from USATC throughout their servicelife. So I would like to exchange them in all the wagons that I have.
You can see the buffers in this topic (Scroll down at Barbapanagos Post): viewtopic.php?f=13&t=155
I know that Krüger Modellbau in Germany has them ( http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/fahrzeugba ... ehend.html ) but 12€ for 4 Buffers is a little bit too much. So I found somebody that will produce them in whitemetal and I present you the castings. These are excellent. I also want for me the vintage buffers with the four cut outs to replace buffers but also for scratchbuilding. The cost for them wont exceed 3.00-4.00 € per set of four.
I will do this project for me but anyone that wants, can contact me to see how many I shall order in the first batch. Both buffer types will be available.
Kind regards
Andreas
