The Bavarian BCL Bay 13 were through cars for local rail traffic . They were listed in the car register of the Royal Bavarian State Railways (K.Bay.Sts.B.) from 1913 under sheet no. 526 led.
development
With the growing network of local railways, there was a need for suitable wagons for local passenger transport. Between 1909 and 1929 wagons were procured that already had the characteristics of normal passenger wagons for mainline railways. In contrast to other local railway cars, these were not suitable for military transport (lack of steam heating).
procurement
A total of 411 wagons of the categories BL , BCL , CL , DL and PPostL were procured between 1909 and 1929 . These all had a uniform floor plan, open end platforms with Dixi grids on the steps and staff transfers only secured by brackets. Instead of the composite windows that were common up to now, large panes were installed. Of the wagons according to sheet 526, a total of 4 wagons were procured in one lot from MAN in Nuremberg for use on the electrically operated Garmisch-Partenkirchen local railway to Reutte / Tyrol .
Whereabouts
The cars all came to the Deutsche Bundesbahn, where they were used between 1955 and 1958 on the Traunstein-Ruhpolding route. All of the cars were retired in October 1960.
Constructive features
Underframe
The frame of the car was made entirely of profile iron and riveted. The outer side members were U-shaped with outward flanges. The cross members were also made of U-profiles and not cranked. As a towing device, the wagons had screw couplings according to VDEV . The drawbar was spring-loaded throughout and in the middle. The car had slotted basket buffers with an installation length of 650 millimeters as a shock device, the buffer plates had a diameter of 370 millimeters.
drive
The wagons had riveted half-timbered axle brackets of the union type. The axles were stored in sliding axle bearings. The suspension springs were 1,800 mm long and consisted of 12 leaves each measuring 96 mm × 13 mm. The wheels had spoked wheel bodies of Bavarian shape 39. Because of the long wheelbase of 7,000 millimeters, club steering axles were used.
In addition to a hand spindle brake, which was located on one of the platforms at the end of the wagon, the wagons also had compressed air brakes from the Westinghouse system .
Car body
The frame of the car body was made of wooden studs. This was clad with sheet metal on the outside and wood on the inside. The joints between the sheets were covered by cover strips. The roof was rounded flat and went directly into the side wall. It had pulled out beyond the open end platforms. The wagons had appearances in the style of the full railway carriage and no longer the folding local railway appearances. Some cars were given metal window frames around 1930.
Furnishing
The type of car carried both 2nd and 3rd class. They had 16 upholstered seats in 2nd class, a total of 35 seats in 3rd class and a toilet. As is typical of the class, the seats consisted of wooden slatted benches. A total of 20 standing places were designated for the two end platforms. The lighting was done by gas lamps. The supply containers for the gas were hung under the undercarriage in the longitudinal direction of the car. The heating was carried out by electrical heaters. The wagons were ventilated by static roof ventilators and retractable windows.
The cars were painted beige and green, the colors of the Bavarian electrically operated lines.
