 It would appear Markits do the correct buffers so has anyone done this?

 

They do? do you have a link for these?

These are the ones I found for 7mm, I as far as I can tell from a few images I've found, both real and O gauge these appear to be correct.

Your original post wasn't that clear as Dapol made a 4mm B set.

 

Lionheart's short buffered 7mm coach is an E140 and is correct as supplied. These generally stayed in their fixed pairs - the similar brake 3rds ran as singles but the model of that already comes with long buffers at either end.

 

Attached shows the short buffers on a later E147 from a pair but is the same principle:

If you do want square shank GWR coach buffers, there are loads of alternatives. I prefer CPL and Slaters personally - the Markits buffers I've had before were over-scale, albeit not that type.
