Rivermead Central

The second sleeper-built buffer stop is ready for the layout.

The insert is made, as near as dammit identical to the first one (which was the idea):

The buffer stop has been cleaned and the insert test fitted:

All is well, so ready to use.

I have made a couple more of the central support blocks, with the angled top surface, to make further inserts for more sleeper-built stops. I have more sleeper-built stops than I need but not enough rail built stops, so, unless more rail-built stops turn up, I will need to use at least three more of the sleeper-built type. Since I seem to have got the angle on the top of the central support just right, I thought it made sense to make more of these now ready for future construction.
