BR971 - spring pads and so on

Another pile of ironwork, shown in undercoat, will soon be turned black.
On top, a couple of hoops that go on the end of the headstocks, to control shakes and splits. underneath are the buffer cups that connect to the main drawbar spring.
In the middle are some junction brackets (keep in mind, these help hold the waggon joints together as no glue is used)
On the right are the pads for the suspension springs at the wheel sets.
