God evening.
It has been a while since I posted something, so I thought it was time to show you something that I´m kind of satisfied with. I actually don´t know the right english name "Buffer beam" or "Buffer stop" ...Anyway it´s not in scale but I guess yoy can see what its made from

Regards to you all

Me too! It just looks "right", despite not being to scale - a useful reminder that a ruler isn't the only tool for creating realism...
Cheers,
Andrew.

St Michael,
The English is "buffer stop." The 'buffer beam' is what carries the buffer/coupling on the locomotive.
Apart from such linguistic matters, I have to say it looks good!
