Midland Valenta 3D Prints

08/03/2026

Hi All,

just a quick message to say we are still here! Things have been very hectic in the day job, so not much time for printing parts!

Another thing, I have decided to remove all my parts from eBay, due to the way eBay policies have changed. I am unable to send links to people who enquire about my parts, plus eBay have now decided you have to purchase a shipping label through them, even if you don't need it. As I like to support my local Post Office, I have to claim a refund back for the postage label every time.

I am looking to set up a small website to handle the selling of my parts, if anyone knows of any recommendations, that would be much appreciated! In the meantime, feel free to drop me a message if you require any parts.

Thanks again!

Hi all, a little update. I'm still here, plodding away in the background. Apologies for the lack of stock for certain items, unfortunatly I will not have time to restock before the new year.

I am also looking at moving away from eBay, and creating a shop website, as it will give me more freedom. Many know that I send full step by step illustrated instructions via a link, and eBay will not allow me to send links. I could include printed instructions, but that would add to the cost of an item.

All items I sell are in stock and ready to go when payment is made, I have been thinking on setting up a 'made to order' system, so you could purchase an out of stock item, but will take a while before the item is dispatched.

Thanks again for sticking around!

New product now available!

Bullhead rail buffer stops!

Based on the Standard BR version with parallel uprights. Found in many locations, such as Derby RTC and Kettering. Complete one part print, ready to place on your layout.

Designed for Peco Bullhead code 75 track, features include realistic sleeper spacing, bullhead rail including the short section of double rail, wood grain effect on the sleeper tops and built in fishplates (outer ones only). Can be used against flat bottom track, as many locations use flat bottom rail, with the buffer stop track in bullhead.

Also available is versions for Peco code 75 and code 100 flat bottom (streamline) track. These feature the smaller sleepers found on the flat bottom track and spaced to match. Due to the difference in rail profile, these do not come with fishplates.

Already have your track laid? There is a clip on version ready to place on your track. Some chairs may need to be removed on existing track for a perfect fit.

All buffer stops are non conductive, so won't short out your track.

Disclaimer: While the buffer stops are strong and sturdy, they are designed as a scenic item, rather than a functional item, and not designed to stop a runaway train!

Dimensions;

Bullhead Code 75 - 72mm over rail ends.
Streamline Code 75 - 67mm over rail ends.
Streamline Code 100 - 67mm over rail ends.
Buffer Stop Only - 42.5mm over rail ends.
