Hi. Does anyone know if someone makes Southern EMU (Spencer Moulton) buffers?
Thanks
Nick
Spencer Moulton? (Never heard of them before and I did struggle to find Spencer Morton on google!)
Found some in 7mm, and a defunct shapeways listing for 4mm, but of course that's no use to you.

They look like something that could be drawn up and 3D printed.
In the days before 3D printers I'd have suggested create yourself a master pattern and mould them. I used to use Gedeo Siligum for the mould, and epoxy resin.
I think these are typically pre WW2 Maunsell and Bulleid buffers, rather than BR designs. I have used old Dapol Hymek bodies as a source of buffers and shanks as they look similar, but unless you have used the Hymek chassis for another project (in my case a 71 and 74) then it could get expensive.
