The Bavarian Post Bay 61 (according to DRG generic conventions) were two-axle mail wagons , which according to sheet no. 117 of the car inventory of 1897 (Sheet no. 186 of the directory from 1913) as the first generation of post carriage of KBSt.B were built.
history
The transport of mail was also a state monopoly in Bavaria which was managed with horse-drawn carriages. With the advent of the railroad, competition arose from the state. On April 30, 1849, the Ministry of Commerce and Public Works, as the supreme supervisory authority for post and railways, obliged the General Administration of the Royal Posts and Railways with the introduction of "bureux ambulants" for the postal service. With corresponding contracts, all companies - including state companies - were obliged to support the postal service. This meant that the railway company had to procure and provide the appropriate rolling stock at its own expense, while the staff was provided by the postal administration. Until the incorporation of the Bavarian Post Administration into the Reichspost on April 1, 1920, all cars were owned by the Bavarian State Railways.
procurement
The first generation cars were replaced between 1861 and 1874 by a total of 116 new cars with car bodies between 7,000 and 7,200 mm, iron side members and Heberlein rapid brakes. These two-axle vehicles all have a raised brakeman's cab but no skylight. The wagons had sketch no.53 in the wagon register of 1879 (sketch 117 in the WV of 1897, sketch 186 in the WV of 1913).
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. The wagons had rod buffers as bumpers , the buffer plates had a diameter of 370 mm. On the brakeman's cab side, the installation length of the buffers was increased.
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 and a wheel diameter of 1,014 mm. The suspension consisted of a 9-layer spring of 1,750 mm, which was fastened with simple straps in the spring brackets.
In addition to the spindle hand brakes in the raised brakeman's cab, all of the cars with the basic equipment had Heberlein quick brakes (see WV of 1879). Westinghouse brakes were already demonstrated for all cars in the WV of 1897 . The brakes worked on all wheels on both sides. The car had the old design of the Bavarian brake linkage with a central lever.
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. Both the side and the front walls were slightly indented on the underside. The wagons had a flat arched roof. The cars all had a raised, closed brakeman's cab, which was only accessible from one side and only from the outside. The wagons all had continuous side walkways and stop bars.
Furnishing
The interior was divided into two roughly equal halves without a partition. The packing room was on the side of the brakeman's cab, and the letter sorting room on the opposite side. The oven was in the middle of the car. There were two padded seats.
The wagons had a stove for heating. The carriages were all equipped with a line for steam heating so that they could be lined up in passenger trains.
The lighting was carried out by oil lamps, some of the cars by gas. The storage container for the illuminating gas hung on the frame in the longitudinal direction of the car.
comment
Not all of the cars were listed in the 1913 directory. Of the original 116 pieces, only 33 were left in stock.
