2. Buffers and chain coupler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffers_and_chain_coupler

   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. Sometimes there are two chains, one ...

3. Railway coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_coupling

   The basic type of coupling on railways following the British tradition is the buffer and chain coupling. A large chain of three links connects hooks on the adjoining wagons. These couplings followed earlier tramway practice but were made more regular. Buffers on the frame of the wagon absorbed impact loads, as the train overran a slowing ...

4. Buffer (rail transport) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_(rail_transport)

   The draw chain used between each pair of vehicles includes a screw which is tightened after coupling to shorten the chain and keep the buffers pressed together. Such is known as a 'screw coupling'. Historically, coupling chains were no more than that, a short length of heavy chain (typically three links long) with no adjustment.

5. Railway coupling by country - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_coupling_by_country

   English couplers on 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) and on 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge [7] AAR couplers on 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) metre gauge [7] and some passenger (FIAT 7131 DMUs) and freight rolling stock on standard and broad gauge. Small knuckle coupler with slot in knuckle for link and pin couplers on 750 mm (2 ft 5 + 1 ...

6. Balance lever coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_lever_coupling

   This chain link has side lengths of different lengths, so the length of the coupling chain for separating or tensioning the train can be varied by simply turning the chain link. With the introduction of transporter wagons, the balancing lever coupling was combined with the funnel coupling on most of the narrow-gauge railways in order to be able ...
