The C4ü Bay 23 was a bogie through car with side aisle, the sheet no. 6038 ^{II was built} for the Bavarian group administration of the DRG for domestic express train traffic.

procurement

As a replacement for the losses caused by reparations deliveries, the Bavarian group administration of the DRG procured a total of 15 type C4ü cars in 1923 . These corresponded to the wagons according to sheet no. 179. The delivery was made by MAN in Nuremberg.

Whereabouts

One vehicle was taken out of service in 1940, another was converted into the C4ü Bay 23/30 in 1930 . The whereabouts of a total of six cars in 1945 have not been clarified. The remaining cars were retired by 1957.

Constructive features

Underframe

The base frame of the connected to the car body underframe was built 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. As a shock device, the cars had case buffers with an installation length of 650 millimeters, the buffer plates had a diameter of 400 millimeters.

drive

To improve the smoothness of running, the cars had long bogies of Bavarian design with a wheelbase of 3,500 millimeters. 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. The longitudinal springs on nine leaves had a length of 1,250 millimeters with a cross section of 90 mm x 13 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. This could be reproduced. All cars had a handbrake in the closed transition at one end of the car and air brakes of the Westinghouse type , the HARDY system or those of the HENRY system.

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 cars had a barrel roof of southern German design. The roof ends over the drawn-in entrances were rounded.

Furnishing

The interior had a total of eight third-class compartments. Only the two compartments at the ends of the car were closed with sliding doors to the side corridor, the rest were open. As is typical for the class, the compartments were equipped with wooden slatted benches. There were toilets at both ends of the car and a washroom at one end. The cars were heated by steam heating . The ventilation took place via roof vent or via the retractable windows. 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.

comment

When the car was rebuilt in 1930, changes were made in the toilet area and the car received a switch cabinet for the electrics.
