Summary
Black painted wooden flanged, shafted and axially drilled cylindrical part of a model railway locomotive, tender or other item of rolling stock. Probably the body of a buffer. The smaller diameter tapered shaft is unpainted and concentric with the larger diameter black-painted flanged buffer body. The axial hole emerges off centre from the shaft and centrally from the buffer end indicating that it is drilled through at a slight angle. There is a split across the width of the black-painted part which appears to be a deliberate saw cut that extends downwards only as far as the flange.
