We're looking for two end-of-track bumpers or wheel stops. Could be the smaller half-moon cast type that bolt onto the rail (Nolan's, etc.) or the larger fabricated steel Hayes -type. If you have one sitting around, let us make a deal with you. The track suppliers have them , but they are all above $1k, and we need to be in the low-cost area. Or if you know of unused ones at a private industrial spur that could be purchased or donated, etc. we'd appreciate any help or leads! For Stewartstown Railroad, York County, PA. |

Can you use the removable type that locks in place with a wedge? I have two of those that I'm not using. |

Rick, yes, probably. Can you send a photo? We have a track that dead ends about 6 feet from major state highway. We mostly use it for motorcars and track equipment. But would be good to have a stop there to prevent anything from getting pushed out into the street. Right now there is just a couple of joint bars with a bolt through them over top the rail! Thanks!

For years our northern end was a tie bolted to the top of the rail head with threaded rod and plates. At some point a buffer was added but it is not bolted in place and is only held there by gravity. |
