A few month's ago, I bought some buffer's from,   PH Designs.

 

Used a Techtronic buffer led post,twisted the ends to fit, pity I could not get it to offset.

I like the progress on the 3rd rail, dt.  Quite a tricky job, but looks very good when in place.

Regards

Julian

I agree with Julian - especially when we remember all this has been done while dt has been glued :O to the telly Tour over the past 20 odd days

Here is a couple more for you Graham, from a difficult position to place the camera.

 

These have been cropped to remove unwanted background, I don't do Photoshop.

Will await the mud slide's, later this year, it is unclear yet, whether cutting will take place across the portal,

but someone, will have a warm winter,with those log's.

 

Ready !

I'd like to put in a plea not to try modelling that 'mud slide' look.     Leave it 2 or 3 years before having another go at that north portal.

 

Go and enjoy yourself around on the seaside of the layout during the next couple of months before autumn.

:sungum:
