(...) I'm including images of the buffers: (2 URLs) Well these parts are horrible, I model mostly US trains. And I'm not interested in having my coupler combined with a buffer. I mosly use this part (URL) or this (URL) and toss the regular buffers (...) (17 years ago, 4-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I used a similar technique in the past, though I can't find a hyperlink to the solution (which was not mine, I think Chris Masi's). It worked rather well, though the main problem that I encountered was the frictionless pins slipping out of the (...) (17 years ago, 4-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic, FTX)

It looks like all, or most of the expanded palette including the space palette is online. Lots of new parts up there.
