QUOTE: Originally posted by MisterBeasley How about models of bumpers and wheel stops?... Walthers makes a bundle of like a dozen of them for around ten dollars. I haven't seen these, but I assume they are plastic and don't include rails.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Bill Edler If you don't want either the bumpers or the wheel stops, you could follow the prototype of the Pig Tail branch of the PRR that ran from Oil City, Pa to Buffalo, NY When I worked for them in the late fifties, the only thing that prevented cars from running off the end of a siding was ten days unpaid vacation for the train crew responsible.
