My latest project is proceeding well. The initial track plan for the Claptowte Railway called for six buffer stops. These were modified LGB Sleeper built items. The latest track plan for the railway requires an additional 9/10 buffer stops, over a period of time, I have collected an additional ten buffers, and now the time has come to convert them to match the original six. Having modified the bodies and built the dummy lamps, I started to spray everything with grey plastic primer, but that ran out on the tenth body, awaiting new supplies. The different coloured discs on the dummy lamps are tiddlywink counters, hence the assorted colours.

Below is a pic of one of the original six buffer stops that I converted, and below that is a link to how the alterations were made. It is intended to complete the ten above to look the same, I anticipate having a lot of painting ahead.
