Princess Royal Oval buffers 3 1/2 H P Jackson

[Mike MossParticipant @mikemoss72241]

I am in the process of completing a 3 1/2" Princess Royal that I purchased in a half finished state. The engine is to a set of drawings from H P Jackson, which on the whole have proved to be very good.

My current sticking point are the buffers. There is very limited information on the drawings, I think I can probably guess the rear buffer dimensions from the side profile on a drawing, but the front "Oval" faces are more difficult. Does anyone have a drawing or a few key dimensions for LMS oval buffer heads and stocks?

Many thanks

Mike

I do not know if it is any help, but there seem to be some good photos of the class here:
