Question for the Brits and/or those knowledgeable about British slang:

Kitsune and I were flipping channels and caught an episode of Thomas the Tank Engine where they were singing "Buffer up and share." We are completely baffled by the phrase "buffer up." Is it supposed to be referring to trains like... buffing up the trains, shining them up? Or is "buffer up" a common phrase in the UK?
