I've just received a Bachmann Class 37/4 train which has the spring loaded buffers - the previous owner has painted them grey and instead of just painting them black, i'd like to replace them with a fresh new set. Is there a simple way to remove them , is there a special technique or do they just pull off.
Also, does anyone know where to get the spare sets of buffers and also a new set of "small detailed" parts?
Many thanks in advance.

If you insist on replacing them, I think you want Bachmann accessory pack
36-031 Oval Head Sprung Buffers (x8) RRP £ 2.05You should be able to get these from most Bachmann stockists.

Why don't you do as John suggests or, if you must remove them..... The buffers are spring-loaded and the opposite end of the buffer (behind the buffer-beam) is flattened to prevent the buffer from spring back out. If you're able to squeeze the flattened end, you're lucky. Only alternative, as John suggests, is to buy new.
