Under the fictitious generic name Bay Post 3-b / 12 , the Bavarian mail wagons according to sheet no. 195 and 196 of the car register from 1913 as well as those obtained later according to sheet no. 6048 1 to 6048 4 as well as 6262 and 6262 1 combined. They received the ( generic name Post 3-b / 12 ) from the Deutsche Reichspost .

development

From 1883, various railway companies - including K.Bay.Sts.B - procured the first three-axle wagons for express trains. This also resulted in the need for corresponding types of wagons for the transport of mail.

procurement

Between 1909 and 1925, a total of 62 wagons were procured for the second generation of mail cars based on standardized building principles. 26 of them belonged to the type according to sheet no. Which was procured between 1903 and 1913. 195 and 196. Further acquisitions were made in 1915, 1924 and 1925 according to sheet no. 6048 1 to 6048 4 as well as 6262 and 6262 1 .

Whereabouts

All cars were taken over by the Reichsbahn. At the DB, this wagon type, like all wagon types with a wooden car body, was retired by approx. 1966.

Constructive features

Underframe

The chassis of the car was completely riveted together from iron profiles. The outer side rails had a double U shape with outward flanges. 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 buffers were exchanged for sleeve buffers in the 1930s, which also changed the length of the buffers.

drive

The wagons had riveted half-timbered axle brackets made of flat iron of the short, straight design. The axles were stored in split sliding axle bearings. The wheels had spoked wheel bodies of Bavarian shape 39. The suspension springs had a length of 1,750 mm with a cross section of 96 mm × 13 mm. They were nine layers thick on the end axes and seven layers on the transversely movable central axis. They were fastened to the spring brackets with spring straps. The end axles were designed as club steering axles .

In 1957, the running gear was rebuilt in which the central axle was removed (subject of calculation according to axle kilometers) and the wagons thus also received different class names (Post 2-a / 12) .

The spindle handbrake in the raised brakeman's cab acted on all wheels on both sides. In contrast to previous types, the central axes were also braked here. The cars were all fitted with Westinghouse 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 slightly indented on the underside, the end walls straight. The wagons had a flat arched roof that protruded over the side walls. A skylight structure was placed on the roof. The wagons all had continuous side walkways and stop bars. The interior was accessed on both sides through two two-part, outward-opening wing doors with a clear width of 1,330 mm.

The interior was continuous and without a partition. On one side was the packing room, on the opposite side the letter sorting room with the manual spindle brake. In the middle of the car there was also the stove that worked on both halves of the car and the toilet. The wagons had a stove for heating. The cars were all equipped with a pipe for steam heating .

The lighting was done by gas lamps. The storage container for the illuminating gas hung on the frame in the longitudinal direction of the car.

Wagon numbers

The data are essentially based on the rolling stock registers of the Royal Bavarian State Railways and are based on the status of March 31, 1897 and 1913 as well as the book by Alto Wagner.
