The buffers should have a distance between them, suh as to turn on bends about 600mm - 900mm.

I present my last freight-wagon that I have from 1990, the closed-one with siding-walls Habils SBB CFF FFS LIMA HO Art.Nr.303586 with Y25 bogies ROCO HO:

1./ HANDMADE handrails (long & short) from 0,3mm brass-wire.
Image

2./ Note-holders WEINERT.
Image
Image

3./ Buffer-beam: UIC-high-tension buffers 450x340mm WEIMANN + their backs with 4 screws WEIMANN + screw-coupler (kit with WEIMANN + WEINERT parts) + hook for coupling-chain out bended 0,3mm- brass-wire + air-hoses WEINERT 8293 + their ends out of 0,5mm brass-wire + HANDMADE shunting-handrails out of 0,3mm brass-wire with modified-ends.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

4./ UIC-steps, UDO BÖHNLEIN (Germany).
Image
Image

5./ Handbrake out of plastic WEINERT.
Image

6./ Fremo87 / HOpur / Proto87 disk-wheelsets 920mm (=10,57mm in HO) WEIMANN. Those I have them from 2010, when I was in Germany.
Image

7./ Prototype drawing from website of SBB CFF FFS.
Image

It needs construction of the brake-sytem underneath the chassis, like the Turkish Habils LS MODELS chassis.
Image

Also, it needs side-anchors, probably from WEINERT.
