Help needed to identify 'things'
Hello
I would like to ask the panel what these items included in a Slaters kit are for please. They are too small to be buffers. The kits are Grounded Van Bodies and pretty old I would think.
Cheers

maybe to raise them above the ground, they used to be raised usually on sleepers.

Re: Help needed to identify 'things'
Look like buffer beams to me. Certainly buffer heads in the bag. Grounded wagons usually had the buffers removed.
Nurse, the screens!
Re: Help needed to identify 'things'
That is interesting. I have a slaters grounded wagon and it came with sleepers to sit it on. I wonder if they put the wrong accessories in the bag?

Thank you for looking, there were the buffer beams, complete with holes for the metal buffers, moulded as part of the body, these other narrow thingies are a mystery...to me at least..Walkingthedog wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 8:02 am Look like buffer beams to me.

Re: Help needed to identify 'things'
Sounds like a strong possibility, there were off eBay and also a 'bargain' if you get my drift...thank you for looking
This is a Ratio one, for no particular reason.
Re: Help needed to identify 'things'
Sorry, you are correct. It was the Ratio version I have. I forgot about the ladder, I wonder what happened to that?Sundaypainter wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 12:46 pm Thank you, another Grounded Van Body, from Ratio, had sleepers, ladders etc etc but not these mysterious things.....

Re: Help needed to identify 'things'
Those bits look suspiciously like fixings for tension lock couplings, with two still attached to the spruce.
