OK no takers for the model so let's have some photos which cost nothing...

Christo,

Hello.

Are the buffers of the ALSTHOM HO locomotive model sprung?

Regards,

Dimitris

[christo]

No Dimitris they are not. They are solid brass and they are produced by http://www.amf87.fr/images/tarifs_acc_dec.pdf. The reference is AO11.

Christo,

Thanx for your reply.

Yes, I know AMF87 as well. He does sprung-buffers as well, so any type of buffers he does, the customer can put the word 'R' for ressort / or tampon a ressort / sprung-buffer, so he can produce it as sprung. He explains that in his website. I 'll buy some sprung-buffers from him for my french Eaos 76803 from ROCO as well as my TGV ends from LIMA HO 1983.

Thanks Dimitris. If you, or anyone else, wanted a higher level of detail I could always consider supplying the Alsthom as a kit and you can then super customise it, not only with sprung buffers but with screw couplings, radio aerial, etc.
