Accurascale announce Rawie Buffer Stop packs in 4mm

 

 

11 October - Accurascale today announces the launch of the latest model in its 4mm accessory line; the Rawie buffer stop.

 

Several variants of this distinctive buffer stop can be found across the rail network, from terminus stations, to locomotive stabling points, to motive power depots and freight yards. The variant that has been modelled by Accurascale first appeared in the early 1990s and remain a bright red distinctive feature to this day across the network.

 

The Accurascale model will come in multiple variants, with a basic buffer stop with traditional buffer pads, a buffer stop with Scharfenberg coupling box attachment and a buffer stop with a Scharfenberg attachment with lighting pole and functioning lighting, with pick up from the track.

 

Tooling for the models has been complete with undecorated pre-production variants of the Scharfenberg box buffer on display at the Great Electric Train Show on October 13^th and 14^th. Tweaks to the design are currently being undertaken by Accurascale’s factory in China.

 

The buffer stops will be in packs of two for the basic and buffer stop with Scharfenberg coupling box attachment priced at £5.95, while the LED fitted buffer is in a single pack for £6.95. Prototypical friction pads will be provided in each pack to be placed on the rails behind each buffer stop as per the prototype. They are suitable for both Code 100 and 75 00 gauge track.

 

Delivery is expected to be Q4 2018 and can be ordered directly from the Accurascale website once it arrives in stock. https://accurascale.co.uk/

As seen in Wellingtonbridge, I presume the Accurascale offering is close enough or the same as what is seen in Ireland.

The 'Standard' Buffer stop listed here: https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/rawie-bufferstop/products/rawie-friction-bufferstop-standard is a match for the top type, and the bottom type has a 'bolted on' extension plate

Looking forward to replacing my half baked attempt at these.

Had a feeling this was coming from the thread a few months ago on buffer stops. A great and much needed accessory on the Irish modeling scene even though under the accurascale brand and I see myself pick up at least a dozen sets. Hope you will also get round to the new small footprint ones that have shown up in the past 5 or so years too.
