The Bavarian PostP Bay 61 (according to DR category conventions ) were two-axle mail cars according to sheet no. 126 of the car directory from 1897 (sheet no. 209 of the 1913 directory), which belong to the first generation of rail mail cars.
history
Between 1861 and 1873 a total of 38 wagons of the type M (stands for Malle = post office) or Mbr (braked post wagon ) in different designs were procured from the BOB . With the takeover of BOB by KBSts.B on November 1, 1875, all cars in their fleet were classified as class BP . The Bavarian administration soon converted nine cars into those with a luggage compartment (PostP Bay 61) .
Constructive features
Underframe
The frame of the car still had a mixed construction of wood and iron. The outer side rails were made of iron and had a double-T shape. The remaining cross members and the buffer beams were made of wood. 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 wagons had rod buffers in the design for the BOB , 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 shape 24 spoked wheel bodies and a wheel diameter of 1,027 mm. The suspension consisted of a nine-layer spring of 1,750 mm with a cross-section of 93 × 13 mm, which were attached to the spring brackets with simple straps.
The cars were equipped with air lines for 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 car had a flat arched roof, which protruded over the side walls. They all had continuous sidewalls and handrails.
The original partition, which divided the interior into two roughly equal halves, was removed during the conversion to the PostP. The luggage compartment was on one side and the mail sorting room on the other.
The wagons had a stove for heating. As secondary rail cars, they were all equipped with a line for steam heating .
The lighting was done by oil lamps.
