We are now stocking  state of the art CNC machined coach buffers manufactured by Markits. At present we are only listing those types that are relevant to our coach kits (please see the accessories page). Other types can be supplied to order. The buffers have a machined brass base with an internally sprung, non-rotating machined steel shank/head to the correct profile. They are supplied ready assembled.

Our S.R. Bulleid and L.N.E.R. Thompson corridor coach kits are now supplied in an upgraded form with these new buffers included with the kit. (We can still supply kits with the old type buffers to order).

The coach sides are pre-formed to the correct profile, where appropriate. Coach kits are also supplied with an etched brass floor & extruded aluminium roof, together with sprung buffers, whitemetal and cast brass fittings, glazing, interior, screw couplings, bogies and corridor connectors ( where appropriate). Wheels, transfers and paint are required to complete them.
