Driver's side buffer and budder housing immediately after being separated from the buffer beam.
Michael knocking the cotter pin out which enabled the buffer to be released from the housing.
Fireman's side buffer housing removed from the buffer beam (the corresponding buffer was removed earlier in the restoration).
