Summary

An N scale bumper for the end of the line.

This was designed to be functional first, then aesthetically pleasing, with realism and scale being my least concern. I wanted a "bumper" that was actually a wheel stop.

I did not want my couplers crashing into anything, and I didn't really want the car bodies hitting the bumper either.

The bumper is well above coupler height, and the wheel stops are far enough forward that the bodies of my biggest boxcars don't touch.

NOTE -- The left and right sides are different. The sides sit on the outside of the rails with the wheel stops on top of the rail.

UPDATE 26 AUG 2023 -- Added one-piece "resin" STL. Ready to print with supports. Makes three bumpers.
