Shortening a Hornby buffer stop

[Montfort]

Hello,
Can I shorten a Hornby R083 buffer stop ? Is there any problem after doing that ? Thanks.

No. I’ve done it many times. Just glue it in place.

Thanks. Do you have a photo of a shortened Hornby buffer stop ?

No sorry, don’t have any now, but it looks just like your picture in front of the red line.

Thanks. On another forum a friendly gentleman posted this very helpful photo.

It's nice to see someone else has come up with the same solution as I was thinking of doing. Space is going to be a bit tight for sidings on the layout I'm making for my son and was thinking the same thing.
