Not entirely sure what you're after? I have spare generic Accucraft Bufferbeams.

Do you mean the type made by milton loco works, with rivet detail?

Well, Milton's were an odd shape. All I'd like is a set of detailed, decent coloured bufferbeams but can't seem to find a supplier?

dont think anyone does them "off the shelf", you'd probably have to commision them.

I made a set for a 16mm Baldrig, then a set for a RH JACK with radius corners.

Now building the same thing for Mortimer.

Is Milton Loco Works still around?
I've tried emailing them several times thru their website, with no reply back.

Gremlin, what sort of loco is that and any more pics? also, how did you weather it

It's an Accucraft Here is the loco in another thread
http://gardenrails.myfreeforum.org/about6753.html

The weathering was mainly with chalk pastels. Rub them on sandpaper and paint the dust on and spray a coat of matt varnish to fix. There is some airbrush work aswell.
