Thanks for the comparison pictures Muddy.
I would say that that the closest match to Billy's buffers are those front ones on Whiff. The difference, I think, with Billy's and the rest, is the dome part being more rounded and thinner on its edges and possibly the circumference which makes the shaft behind it look smaller. I tell you what...I want Billy's style buffers on all Plarail trains and rolling stock from now on. That includes all Thomas and Friends and the Japanese replica's including the steamers...are you listening Plarail...
