New Paya spare buffers

A few weeks ago, I received two sets of new spare Paya buffers from Bruce Palmer. Bruce has cast many different Paya spares with the original moulds, including buffer heads, shanks, bogie side frames, etc. Since, I had no Paya coach with a complete set of buffers, I ordered and received two sets of new buffer heads. Since these spare parts are made from a low temperature melting metal alloy, soldering them is not recommended, instead I used an epoxy glue and that worked fine.


The photo shows the three Paya 987 passenger coaches with a new Paya spare buffer on the left and an old original Paya buffer on the right. I am quiet pleased with them. Thank you, Bruce!
