Narrow gauge flat wagons, 750 mm (2 ft 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 in).Note the single buffer with a hook on the right side and a chain on the other. On some narrow-gauge lines in Europe, and on the Paris Metro, a simplified version of the loose-coupler is used, consisting of a single central buffer with a chain underneath.
The European network has traditionally been formed of many independent national railway networks with buffer and chain used near universally to allow the interchange of rolling stock. The European Union Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs) for high-speed passenger rolling stock mandate the use of Scharfenberg Type 10 -compatible ...
The centre of the buffer on European railway vehicles must be between 940 and 1,065 mm above the top of rail. Spain was an exception for a long time. A buffer separation of 1,950 mm was specified there because of the force transmitted to the longitudinal beams of the wagons, which are further apart due to their broad gauge railways.
Buffers and chain coupler from 1859 to 1873. [22]Johnston link-and-pin from 1873 to 1927 on Cape gauge, from 1906 on 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge in Natal. [23] [24]Bell-and-hook from 1902 on 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge in the Cape of Good Hope.
Prototype Mark 2 13252 fitted with dual buffer-and-chain/janney coupler at the Mid-Norfolk Railway in April 2009 Dual couplings and adapters Coupling adapter for use between Janney coupler on a locomotives and WABCO-2 couplers fitted to commuter rail multiple units at New York's Pennsylvania Station .
A train simulator (also railroad simulator or railway simulator) is a computer-based simulation of rail transport operations. They are generally large complicated software packages modeling a 3D virtual reality world implemented both as commercial trainers, and consumer computer game software with 'play modes' which lets the user interact by stepping inside the virtual world.
Buffer beam / headstock (painted red) fitted with buffers and chain coupler and air hoses on the front end of a German steam locomotive. A headstock of a rail vehicle is a transverse structural member located at the extreme end of the vehicle's underframe.
SimSig is a mixed donationware [1] and commercial Windows-based train simulator of modern railway signalling systems in Great Britain, from the point of view of a railway signaller. [2] Users have also had success running SimSig on Linux using Wine. [3]
