The AB4ü Bay 95a was a bogie through car with side aisle, the sheet no. 74 (in the directory of 1897 with no. 59) for the K.Bay.Sts.B. was built for use in express train traffic. It had two 1st class compartments and five 2nd class compartments.
history
In 1891 the KPEV procured the first bogie express train wagons, which the other regional railways quickly followed. The construction of the car body and its running gear were based on American building principles. For the interior work, the continental European building principles were used.
procurement
Between 1895 and 1901 the Royal Bavarian Railways procured a total of 157 cars of the types AB4ü , ABC4ü and BC4ü , which with their slightly arched roofs and the attached skylights could not deny their relationship to the Prussian types. A total of 13 wagons in two lots were procured under sheet numbers 074a and 074b. The cars were intended for international use and were equipped accordingly.
Whereabouts
A total of four cars were given to Belgium as reparations in 1919. One of these four cars came back to the DRG during the occupation in World War II and was used by the DB as a railway company car. The whereabouts of a car could not be clarified in 1945.
Constructive features
Underframe
The base frame of the connected to the car body underframe was constructed entirely of wood, which partially - z. B. for the outer side members - was reinforced with screwed angle iron. Wooden profiles were also used for the cross members. This design promised a smoother run for high-quality cars. The wooden cross members to hold the turntable pans were also reinforced with angle iron. Due to the large wheelbase, trusses with adjustable tie rods were added to support the outer longitudinal members. The buffer beams were built entirely from rolled sections. As a towing device, the wagons had screw couplings with safety hooks according to VDEV, the drawbar was spring-loaded throughout. The wagons had rod buffers with an installation length of 612 mm, the buffer plates had a diameter of 370 mm.
drive
The cars had bogies of Bavarian design with a short wheelbase of 2,500 mm. The frames of the bogies were riveted together from sheet metal and angles. The axles were stored in sliding axle bearings. The wheels had spoked wheel bodies of the Bavarian type 39 with a wheel diameter of 988 mm.
Because of the large distance between the bogies, the underframe was supported by a spatial truss in the plane of the outer side members.
Brake: Handbrake in the closed transition at one end of the car. The cars were equipped with Westinghouse air brakes.
Car body
The car body framework consisted of a wooden frame work. It was clad with sheet metal on the outside and wood on the inside. The side walls were smooth and pulled down to the top of the outer side rails. The wagons had a flat arched roof with a skylight attached. For the transition to Switzerland and Belgium, the cars were equipped with appropriate signal supports.
Furnishing
The interior had a total of seven compartments with upholstered seats. The compartments were closed with sliding doors facing the side corridor. The 1st class seats could be converted into sleeping bunkers. At one end of the car was the toilet combined with a washing facility . The wagons were heated by steam . The ventilation took place via roof ventilators or via the windows in the skylight structure.
The lighting was done by gas lamps . A large storage container hung on the frame lengthways. From the 1930s onwards, it was converted to electrical lighting.
