2.11 Sufficient time should be allowed for responses to be made. It is recommended that askers allow at least twenty-four (24) hours to pass before closing a question.http://www.proz.com/?sp=siterules&mode=show&category=kudoz_a...
hazmatgerman (X) Jun 2, 2008:
Dear asker: I strongly suggest you re-open the question for the customary 24h period. Fedler's and my CL were not high, and there may well be a better term out there, and I'm no expert on rail cars. Regards.

agree Steffen Walter : UIC RailLexic has Wiegendämpfung: zw. Wiege u. Fahrzeugkasten angeordnete Dämpfung, welche die Schlingerbewegung d. Drehgestells u. d. Wank- u. Nickbewegung d. Kastens vermindert (bolster damping/damper; "damper" more common).

Dachte ich mir doch, daß es noch was besseres gibt. Danke.
neutral David Moore (X) : I don't find "bolster buffer" in any of your proffered links; could you say where they are, exactly?

@Moore: 1:halfway down under picture. 2:bolster towards end 3: several but disconnected 4: top only bolster. I would've used "damper" as Walter proposed, such: http://www.koni-enidine-rail.com/Koni-Assist.asp. Thanks and regards.

(vertical) dampers

is my suggestion; the "WiegedämpfUNG" is a decidedly non-specialist term, and "-dämpfer" would have been much more professional, without wandering into the realms of "jargon" in any way.

The term "buffer", offered elsewhere, is not correct; these are shock-absorbers fitted on the ends of (most) wagons outside the couplings.

Peer comment(s):

agree hazmatgerman (X) : It seems that the "bolster" element is usually left out and that "vertical" is used instead. Good to learn and many thanks. Shall I amend the glossary entry?

As it stands, the glossary entry certainly leaves much to be desired...so, yes, please.
