Moldex Building and Lineside Accessories
Moldex R83 TC Track Bumper
and
Moldex R103 Buffer Stop
The R83 TC Track Bumper was introduced in 1958 with the other station buildings and remained available until 1967. The first Australian made rolling stock was part of the TC series of models and the track bumper was probably thought more appropriate than the R103 buffer stop.
The R103 Buffer Stop was introduced in 1959, presumably because UK style rolling stock had been introduced at that time. The R103 was withdrawn in 1962 when Super 4 track was introduced and it was replaced with the Australian made R494 buffer stop.
