Hello Niels,

The buffer plate (the part that comes in contact with the buffer of another wagon) should pont towards the -Z direction, because this is consistent with existing official part #4022 Train Buffer Beam (see picture):



   I thought about putting the origin between the two studs.

I agree.

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
