Product Description
2019 Update: This product page now sells long-shank buffers only.  Our short-shank buffers can now be found on their own page via our main Shapeways store page.

This product is now available in two sprue sizes, which can be selected from the menu to the right.  The "small" size includes 4 rounded-head buffers and 2 flat-head buffers (6 total, as originally offered); the "large" size includes 12 rounded-head buffers and 6 flat-head buffers (18 total).​  A small hobby blade and a file or sanding stick will be required to separate parts from their sprues and to clean up the edges.

This model now features smoother geometry, too!

Bust my buffers!  Buffers are pesky things-- they stick out awkwardly from the ends of your European railway cars and they sometimes break off.  This set of HO/OO-scale spares provides the opportunity to repair quite a few damaged cars.

Included are typical buffers with rounded heads in addition to several buffers with flat heads for anti-lock buffering purposes as used by some continental European countries-- in case you're into that kind of thing.

The buffers offered on this page are of our "long"-shank variety.  They measure approximately 0.264" ( 1'11" in HO scale) from buffer beam to end of head, and are typically suitable for cars made by the likes of Fleischmann and other continental European firms.  We also offer "short"-shank buffers on a separate product page.  Check the photos above for comparison images to help decide which buffer length is best suited for your needs.

All buffers include a small tab in the back designed to facilitate mounting into empty "buffer socket holes," but a dab of glue will likely be necessary to fasten the buffers to your cars nonetheless.  The tabs may need to be cut off if you wish to apply the buffers to cars without built-in buffer-mounting holes.
