Peco OO ST-270 Setrack Sleeper Built Buffer Stop

A clip-on wood box type buffer stop. Place one of these at the end of each siding to prevent trains from running off the end of the tracks.

Timber or sleeper built stop blocks were an ecconomical means of prventing wagons running off the ends of sidings. The timbers formed an enclosure which was filled with earth or ballast, with a sleeper fixed across the stop block at buffer height to prevent the buffers breaking through the timbers.
