North Eastern Railway buffer stops

[Rob Manchester]

Does anybody know much about North Eastern Railway (NER) Buffer stops ? Slaters Plastikard produced some cast brass items in both 4mm and 7mm scales a long time ago which still seem to be available but I am at a loss to find any information or details on using them. The castings look like oversized, right angle canopy brackets and the packet doesn't include any info or parts to make the wooden beams that I assume are used on the front of the castings.

The castings look rather large to my eyes. The 7mm scale ones are around 6 scale feet along each straight side of the brackets.

Anybody an expert on these or NER practice ?

Rob.

Andy Beaton's Ragstone Models is probably a good place to start for 7mm scale buffer stops. He does 2 types of NER buffer stops: LS081 & LS082.
You can find them here.

You could try the NER Association https://ner.org.uk/
I've found them helpful in the past.
