Heljan Class 33/1 Stuck Buffer

[Ian_H]

Just taken delivery of the Class 33/1 and noticed that it has  a stuck buffer ......... can anybody advise how to release this? push to release doesn't seem to work and I don't want to apply a lot of force on this by pulling it. Your thought would be welcomed.

I had a similar issue once and found twisting the buffer and some light pressure on the buffer shank from behind  worked.

tug it forwards gently. It will sit in the right spot and should function normally. Too hard and it might pop out loosing the spring.

Is it stuck in - perhaps pushed too far - or stuck out - perhaps pulled too far out?

Pulling out in the latter case will not help.

How does it compare in relation to the other buffers - is it out of position, or is it just a poor moulding (shaft or buffer housing)?

Hello, Thank you for the advise. When I originally posted the problem, I had put the model back in its box and left it a few days while discussing with the supplier, what I thought was a problem with the tail lamp being used as a head light. Having resolved that problem by correcting my understanding I went back to the problem of the stuck buffer, to find that it had released itself, consequently there is no longer a problem with the buffer.

 

Once again that for your help.
