Construction will begin soon on the indoor switching layout.
Has anyone built track bumpers for an indoor layout?
Rubber baby buggy bumpers?
The ones in the link Mark posted are nice and would not be hard to build. I took a more simplistic approach for my indoor layout using a block of scrap wood and a section of paint stirrer. They were designed so that Ken could not punt them…
I also mounted some broken Aristo bumpers to wood blocks with a screw…
Maybe I will add rubber to the bumpers and they will be rubber bumpers!
I think those bumpers will play nice with my Kadees.
Getting some of those built will make me feel less like I am a total goof off this summer!
I will be sure to add rubber baby buggy bumpers to any end-of-track bumpers I build! They will keep my Kadees from getting crunched!
I use split jaw wheel chocks. These install at the end of the rail and don’t foul couplers.
Wheelstops are rather pricey…

A discarded brick is free.
There are also these from other vendors -
Over Rail Brass Wheel Stop 332
The LGB wheel stop is not uv protected, it fades outdoors.
The brass ones are great for indoor and outdoor use.
