Bumpers and Buffers is a short magazine story.

Plot
Sir Topham Hatt skids on ice in his car and into a tree. Then, Lorry 1 comes along and skids on the ice too, which sends a brick from his load which lands on the Fat Controller's car and dents it. At the station, Oliver slides on ice too and hits into some trucks but nothing is damaged because Oliver has buffers.
