The Bavarian Post3 Bay 83 (according to DRG generic conventions ) were three-axle mail cars, which according to sheet no. 121 of the wagon directory from 1897 (sheet no. 192 of the directory from 1913) were the first type of the second generation of mail wagons to be built.
development
From 1883, various railway companies - including K.Bay.SB - procured the first three-axle cars for express trains. This also resulted in the need for corresponding types of wagons for the transport of mail.
procurement
Between 1883 and 1904, a total of 61 cars were procured for the second generation of mail cars. 25 of them belonged to the type according to sheet no. 192. They were built in four lots between 1883 and 1887.
Whereabouts
Three of the cars were converted into baggage mail cars in 1916 (see sheet no. 212). All cars were taken over by the Reichsbahn. This type of wagon was no longer adopted by the DB.
Constructive features
Underframe
The frame of the car was no longer built in mixed construction, but riveted together entirely from iron profiles. The outer side members had a double-T shape. As a towing device, the wagons had screw couplings with safety hooks according to VDEV, the drawbar was spring-loaded throughout. The wagons were equipped with rod buffers with an installation length of 650 mm, the buffer plates had a diameter of 370 mm.
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 24 with a wheel diameter of 1,014 mm. The suspension springs had a length of 1,750 mm with a cross section of 96 mm × 13 mm. They were 9 layers thick on the end axes, and 7 layers on the transversely movable central axis. They were fastened to the spring brackets with spring straps. The end axles were steering axles of the type A 4 .
The spindle handbrake in the raised brakeman's cab acted on all wheels of the end axles on both sides. 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, which went directly into the raised brakeman's cab. This was only accessible from the outside on both sides. The wagons all had continuous side walkways and stop bars. The interior was accessed on both sides through one-piece, outward-opening wing doors.
The interior was continuous and without a partition. The packing room was on the side of the brakeman's cab, and the letter sorting room on the opposite side. In the middle of the car there was also the stove that worked towards both halves of the car. There was an upholstered seat on each half of the car.
Furnishing
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 two storage containers, each with a volume of 350 liters for the luminous gas, hung on the frame in the longitudinal direction of the car. Between 1926 and 1929 the conversion to electrical lighting took place.
The wagons were given the green paint scheme required for the outside and the inscription Königliche Bahn-Post as property identification .
comment
Three of the cars were converted into baggage mail cars in 1916 (see sheet no. 212). With the exception of one car, they were all listed in the 1913 directory.
