Constructive features

Underframe

As the base frame of the cart connected with the box was already in the wagon according sheet 75 undercarriage 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. The rod buffers were replaced with sleeve buffers of the standard design in the 1930s.

The hand brakes were each in the closed transition at one end of the car. All cars were equipped with Westinghouse type air brakes and Hardy type suction 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 over the outer longitudinal beams. The cars had a barrel roof of the southern German design without a skylight structure.

The interior was divided into a total of eight compartments. The compartments of the second class each had six upholstered seats, the compartments of the third class were equipped with wooden slatted benches and each compartment offered eight seats. Eighteen places for officers and thirty for men were designated for military transport. Only the two compartments at the ends of the car were closed off with sliding doors facing the side aisle.

Furnishing

At both ends of the car there were toilets that were combined with washing facilities.

The wagons were heated by steam . The ventilation took place via roof vent or via the retractable windows.
