Talk:Buffer stop

Inaccuracies

Quote: the coupling is the part of the vehicle that the buffer stop first touches.

Buffer stops touch the buffers, not the couplings -- hence their name. (Unless the vehicle lacks buffers, in which case the buffer stop will make first contact with the vehicle's bodywork!)

Quote: The term buffer stop is a British term as railways in Britain use buffer and chain couplings.

Many British railway vehicles do still incorporate buffers as part of their drawgear, but these are almost always matched with screw, not "chain" couplings in the loose-coupling sense. Besides, a great many British railway vehicles are equipped these days with either buckeye (knuckle) couplers or Scharfenberg-type automatic couplers.
