Point me in the right direction folks - Are these available in white metal for N Scale ? And by who(m)
A variation was once made in white metal by somebody but I can't remember the name. I have a couple of them...I'm sure someone will chime in. They are no longer made, as far as I know. It would be a nice item to have available though, pretty common detail.
Brass Car Stops for Sidings I just solder small brass pieces to the railtops and then paint and weather them. Here I painted them orange. I will add that when these are soldered to railtops, they are a tiny knife waiting to slice the hand of the unsuspecting track cleaning person. Maybe that is another topic.
Are these what you are looking for? N-$1.75, HO-$1.75,S-$2.35, O-$2.35 G-$3.65 HAYES WHEEL STOPS (N-HO-S-O-G) Manufactured by: Tomar Industries In stock at Walthers Cast white metal "stops" protects your spur ends. They won't come off when bumped by a car. Used on heavy or lightweight service. Hayes Wheel Stops Type SF come four per pkg. in N-HO-S-O scales and two per pkg. in G scale. I hope this will help you find them. GM
As Flash said, you can make them a lot cheaper by using scrap brass pieces than by going out and buying them. It shouldn't take long to turn out quite a few of those for your sidings. Stay cool and run steam....:shade: :shade:
The wheel stops in the photo below were made by Selley, now owned by Bowser, but they no longer make N scale details. :sad:
There is someone who makes them in NScale I've got a few of them around. I'll look. Seems to me they were dirt cheap too. our LHS stocks 'em.
