Parts of railway or tramway locomotives or rolling-stock include : (1) Bogies, with two or more axles, and bissel-bogies consisting of a fiame with only one axle. (2) Straight or cranked axles, whether or not assembled. (3) Wheels and parts thereof (wheel centres, metal lyres, etc.). (4) Axle-boxes, also known as lubricating or grease-boxes, and parts thereof (e.g., axle-box bodies). (5) All types of brake gear, including : (a) Hand-brakes, controlled directly from each individual vehicle (lever and screw brakes). (b) Continuous brakes with a single control for all the vehicles of the train. These include compressed air and vacuum brakes. (c) Parts of brake gear including shoes, cylinders, levers, etc. (6) Buffers. (7) Coupling gear (e-g., hook, screw or chain type, draA gears); some coupling devices may be automatic. (8) Frames and parts thereof (longerons, cross-girders, axle-box guides, etc.); fiames cast in one piece. (9) Corridor connections and connecting platforms. (10) Bodies (not mounted on underframes) for motorised or non-self-propelled railwa or tramway rolling-stock (e.g., for coaches, trucks, wagons, etc.); parts of such bodies coach or truck doors, artlhons, hinged sides of wagons, side stanchions, mming boar water tanks for tenders$ 6.% (11) Pipes with coupling heads for the braking or heating systems. (12) Hydraulic shock absorbers for bogies. It should be noted, however, that angles, shapes, sections,+sheets,plates and other parts of frames, and also tubes and pipes, etc., of base metal, remain classified m Section XV unless they have been worked to such an extent that they are clearly identifiable as parts of locomotives or rolling-stock.
1.- This Chapter does not cover : (a) Railway or tramway sleepers of wood or of concrete, or concrete guide-track sections for hovertrains (heading 44.06 or 68.10); (b) Railway or tramway track construction material of iron or steel of heading 73.02; or (c) Electrical signalling, safety or traffic control equipment of heading 85.30. 2.- Heading 86.07 applies, inter alia, to : (a) Axles, wheels, wheel sets (running gear), metal tyres, hoops and hubs and other parts of wheels; (b) Frames, underframes, bogies and bissel-bogies; (c) Axle boxes; brake gear; (d) Buffers for rolling-stock; hooks and other coupling gear and corridor connections; (e) Coachwork. 3.- Subject to the provisions of Note 1 above, heading 86.08 applies, inter alia, to : (a) Assembled track, turntables, platform buffers, loading gauges; (b) Semaphores, mechanical signal discs, level crossing control gear, signal and point controls, and other mechanical (including electro-mechanical) signalling, safety or traffic control equipment, whether or not fitted for electric lighting, for railways, tramways, roads, inland waterways, parking facilities, port installations or airfields.
