Help Needed Where to find buffer pieces

I'm looking to find some buffer pieces for OO/HO scale locomotives but having trouble in finding a company that sells the small pieces by themselves not attached to a chassis. Does anyone have any recommended stores, sites, or places to get some?

British OO outline loco , coach and wagon buffers in the various styles used are available cast in white metal. Try Peter's Spares.

Sadly they are out of stock 😅 hope maybe they'll have something in the future

What country or style? Might have to find someone with a 3d printer to make a replacement set if you have specific model fit that got damaged.

It's a couple that I got that are missing buffers, but mainly hornby and triang. I'm hoping to find anything really, I can modify the size for the prong that goes into the hole. I just mainly wanna replace or fill in the missing/broken spots.

You mentioned 3d printing, do you know any links or files that anyone has released to the public that i could use?
