Hello.

Agios Ioannis Rentis, 17.06.2012. I am sorry, I forgot to foto the numbering.

bufferplank / Pufferbohle
coupling / Kupplung
hook - protector of couplingchain / Haken für die Versicherung des Kupplungsbügel
buffer / Puffer
airbrake-pipe (hose) / Bremsslauch
UIC - shunting steps / UIC - Rangierertritte
axles & suspension / Achshlater & Aufhängung. It has 8 leaf-spring (8 Lagen) counted. It belongs to the UIC-type of 8 leaf-springs with last leaf-spring-length: of either 1200mm / and or 1400mm. However, I have to measure the longer leaf-spring to confirm which of the 2 is the length. Additionally, concerning the wheel-dia., as I mentioned to to other freight wagon - sections, i.e. Σ1, the long UIC 2- axled freight wagons have a standard wheel-dia.: 920mm and the shorter ones, a standard wheel-dia.: 1000mm, but I also have to measure that, too.
handrails / Griffstange

Concerning also the buffer-type: I believe it belongs to the riveted (genietene) UIC - standard buffer (from 1955), Form C, with bufferplate-dia.: 450mm. Also this type has buffer-length: 620mm. However, I will also make some meaurements os the length and bufferplate-dia., to be sure if is this / and or the older types (Siegen (from 1924) and Uerdigen (from 1920-1945, Epoche II)) with the same 2 bufferplate-dia. (370mm & 450mm), but with different buffer-length: 650mm.
UIC - Hülsenpuffer
UIC - Hülsenpuffer
Hülsenpuffer "Siegen" / and or "Uerdigen"

Thanx
