Last year I bought 2 buffer end stops for my garden railway from Michael Newlove and I'm at a stage now with the railway to fit them.
So two photos, first one is as they come out of the packet, and the second one as worked on by me. This involved stripping it down and treating the rails with Birchwood Casey, then when dry giving them a fine coat of oil.
Changing the sleepers to the same well worn ones from my stock, and painting the headstock in Acrylic black and the face in red, followed by a coat of silky vanish.
I still have the other one to treat the same shortly.
