The difference
[edit]What, if any, is the difference between a buffer and a buffer plate? Peter Horn User talk 14:15, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
@Peter Horn: the buffer is the whole shock absorber, the buffer plate is the flat, circular disc at the outer end which contacts the buffer plate of the next vehicle or buffer stop. Bermicourt (talk) 17:36, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Bermicourt and Bermicourt: Thanks.
Buffer lock
[edit]The only refence to buffer locking I have been able to find so far is this. Peter Horn User talk 14:23, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Retractable buffers
[edit]British Rail Class 73#Couplings mentions "retractible buffers" and they are implied on British Railways Mark 1 as well as on dual coupling. Could someone clarify this? Peter Horn User talk 17:13, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- @User:Redrose64 Perhaps you could a section Buffer (rail transport)#Retractable buffers to the article Peter Horn User talk 17:55, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
