Talk:Bogie

Bad merger
The merger of Articulated bogie was a bad one. See Talk:Articulated bogie. Peter Horn User talk 19:26, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * So what's the problem? Just the section target? Fix it!
 * This whole article is awful. It needs to be split (see above). Andy Dingley (talk) 19:35, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Identification of types of bogie or truck
The japanese archbar truck and the diamond frame bogie are basically the same type. The sarcast bogie is similar to the regular North American truck. Agreed? Peter Horn User talk 22:28, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Of Course, the difference between the first two is are the coil springs and the elliptical springs. Peter Horn User talk 22:40, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

The SARCAST bogie is similar to the American Bettendorf truck. Several American cast items by firms like General Steel Castings and others were made in South Africa as well, often with new names such as the SARCAST bogies. Another example is the AAR knuckle coupler which is locally named SASKOP when manufactured here. (SAS = SA Spoorweë, Kop = abbreviation of "koppelaar", Afrikaans for coupler). - André Kritzinger (talk) 15:53, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * "Koppelaar" is ook het nederlandse woord maar soms ook "kopppeling". Peter Horn User talk 16:37, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Meestal kopppeling Peter Horn User talk 19:00, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Images

 * There are some issues with the article images that need addressing:


 * There are an over-abundance of images. While images can add to an article too many are contrary to "what Wikipedia is not".
 * Duplicate images are certainly not needed.
 * Foreign language captions. Bogie extra images pool imported from de:Drehgestell was added to the "Images gallery" section. The captions on these images are in German and not English. This begs a "Please do not contribute text in a foreign language to English Wikipedia. Your contributions are more than welcome at a Wikipedia in your language. Thank you." -- Otr500 (talk) 14:29, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Does anybody want to correct these issues and trim some of the excessive images or just accept the ones I remove from the article? Otr500 (talk) 01:05, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Flatbed trolley
Flatbed trolley Quote:"Without a flat surface it becomes an "open frame" trolley and without a handle it is a bogie or dolly. " Peter Horn User talk 13:47, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
