The station building is the buffer stop. ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

Missing dummy coupler isn't great, but good track materials and decent occupancy for the traffic. ★★★★☆ #RateMyBuffers

Certainly substantial, with little evidence that an overrun is possible. ★★★☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

This buffer stop looks designed to trigger everything to collapse all at once, like a game of mousetrap. ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

Splash. ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

What's good is that these buffer stops have not been improved at all since this little incident... ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

Absolutely baffling contraption. ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

Sand trap? ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

Prove that this is attached to the ground. ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

Lurking. ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

It's a strip of duct tape. ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

I feel sorry for the signaller. ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

WHEEEEEEEEEE! ★☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

A shame about the lack of dummy couplers! ★★★☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

If your train is actually striking a fixed buffer stop then it probably should have been a sliding buffer stop. And the dummy coupler doesn't appear to have engaged, either. ★☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

This will still disintegrate on contact. ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

Genuinely unsure which of these end of track devices is least effective... At least the gate won't launch a train skywards! ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

Even a gronk can get launched skywards by the right bad buffer stop. ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

We don't need to say it. ☆☆☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers

Sadly these are no longer up to much snuff, but there's still a robustness to them that puts them a bit above the usual bullhead launchers! ★★☆☆☆ #RateMyBuffers
