Happy New Buffer Blocks

One of the first jobs for 2010 was to remove the buffers from the HKB to replace the wooden backing blocks that had cracked and begun to perish.














One of the buffer shanks was cracked and will be replaced.



















The buffers had not been removed for many years and all bolts were rusted solid.
Todd used brute strength the remove the bolts which allowed us to dismantle the buffer assemblies.

New wooden backing blocks have been obtained and will be prepared for fitting at our next work day.
