Bumpers need help.

How about using these. You could cut out the middle sections that go over the middle rail.

Use the OGR Advanced Search engine at the top and search the 2 Rail Forum.

This is probably more what you are looking for.

Harbor Belt lines has Hayes Bumpers in cast metal kits.  He mostly carries O scale and I saw these at a show recently.  I'm pretty sure these are O, but you may want to email David Thompson (owner) to verify.  The listing on his website did not specify.

See this thread.  It includes some prototype pictures.

Here is another thread.

Some guys verified that the Harbor Belt Lines bumpers are O scale.

It's a dead heat Joe and Bob send me your name and address's offline to this address. neville-1234@bigpond.com (if you trust me)

I've never dealt with them but it looks like they will ship overseas I did not notice how they want to be paid I assume it will be a credit card.

I think I'll order the 10 pack should keep me going for a while if they are cast metal kits I'm very pleased. Thanks very much for that. Regards, Roo.

I know Dave Thompson and he produces some very nice products. I don't think you'll be disappointed with Harbor Belt Lines.

Hi Nev. yes Dave from harbor belt lines is your best bet.

Also, Old Pulman (which I believe is defunct now) had a brass bumper the orig. owner produced.  I preferred those to the white metal ones made by Keil-line products. I would ask on O scale yardsale etc etc.

I have used the  more modern  plastic Lionel ones on my float. Weathered up they arent bad.

Nev, everyone,  The idea of using the "Search" feature is a good thing to remember as much of this kind of stuff has been discussed before!

I have purchased those 2-piece brass "Hayes" bumpers from Des Plains Hobbies, in Des Plains, Illinois. They are easily soldered together, once filed clean, and then painted your choice of colors.

Chris, Pierre, thanks.

Simon. Yes it's something I have never used yet thanks for reminding me I must remember for next time.

Hot Water. I have some of those Brass Hayes bumpers and also his Wheel Stops which are nice I did not think he was still making them anymore.

 I am going to try the Harbor items they look good.

Thanks Roo.

You will never know until you contact Ron Sebastian, at Des Plains Hobbies.
