Talk:Barrier vehicle

Potential use of barrier vehicle
A barrier vehicle equipped with buffers and a transition Janney coupler as a dual coupler could be useful to haul the two married pairs of DB Class 628.1 of the Charlevoix tourist train. Peter Horn User talk 01:16, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * What you describe is known as a match wagon. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 16:00, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Please see where match wagon redirecte. Peter Horn User talk 19:38, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Then it's wrong. A dual coupling is two different types of coupler at the same end of a rail vehicle; a match wagon has different types at opposite ends. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 22:02, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Images removed from gallery again
Once again, I have removed two images (File:Mark 1 coach 6313 at Bristol Temple Meads 2006-03-01 03.jpg and File:GNER-91116-coupling-01.jpg) from the gallery. Neirther of them depicts a barrier vehicle, match wagon or anything else that this article covers. The first is a British Railways Mark 1 generator van converted from a gangwayed brake van (BG); the simple fact is that all BR Mark 1 gangwayed stock had drophead buckeye couplers which could be swung down to expose a hook for a screw-link coupling. Similarly, all locomotives also had drophead buckeye couplers which could be swung down to expose a hook for a screw-link coupling, and they were not the only such cases - the corridor tender attached to 22 LNER steam locomotives had a similar dual coupler, and nobody would consider a steam locomotive to be a barrier vehicle. Whilst these are examples of dual couplers, that in no way makes these photos of barrier vehicles. Not all barrier vehicles have dual couplings; not all vehicles with dual couplings are barrier vehicles. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 09:51, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
