The Bavarian Pw4ü Bay 23 is a bogie baggage car that was procured for the Bavarian State Railways in 1923 according to sheet 5968 . In terms of dimensions, structure and equipment, they corresponded to the cars of the last series according to sheet 231, which were delivered in 1919.
procurement
Adequate luggage trolleys were required for use in high-speed trains ( express and express trains ). Between 1906 and 1923, KBayStsB purchased a total of 85 four-axle cars in three delivery series. The delivery series of the wagons from 1923 were replicas of the series according to sheet 231. It was a replacement for the wagons that had been withdrawn from the inventory as a reparation payment. However, these wagons no longer had any special equipment for cross-border use to Austria, Switzerland or France.
Whereabouts
Three cars had to be handed in as reparations in 1919. By the end of 1945, another three cars had been taken out of service, one each converted into a power station car and one to a railway company car, and the whereabouts of a total of 14 cars have not been clarified. Five cars were parked as old vehicles and were taken out of service by July 1950. A total of 13 came to the DB, one car was used as a donor vehicle for the YG program.
Constructive features
Underframe
The frame of the car was made entirely of profile iron and riveted. The outer side members were U-shaped with outward flanges. The cross members were also made of U-profiles and not cranked. As a towing device, the wagons had screw couplings according to VDEV . The drawbar was spring-loaded throughout and in the middle. The wagons originally had double-slotted basket buffers with an installation length of 650 mm and 400 mm for the buffer plates. This was later replaced by case buffers. To support the outer longitudinal beams, a truss made of pillar stands and adjustable tension rods was installed.
drive
The cars had bogies of the Bavarian design riveted from sheet metal and angles with a wheelbase of 2500 mm. The axles were stored in sliding axle bearings. The wheels had spoked wheel bodies. For international use, the wagons had, in addition to the Westinghouse air pressure brake, also suction air brakes from the Hardy system. In addition, there was a hand spindle brake that could also be operated from the pulpit of the service room.
Car body
The frame of the car body consisted of a wooden frame structure, which was stiffened by steel drawstrings. The walls were covered with sheet metal on the outside and wood on the inside. The side and front walls were straight, the entrance doors indented. The car body was divided into a service compartment, a closed customs compartment with a side aisle and a large luggage room with two dog boxes. The flat barrel roof was provided with an attached pulpit above the service room, which the platoon leader used as an observation pulpit. The roofs were left open over the entrance doors. The roofs of the wagons in the construction lots from 1910 had the streamlined recesses. The car transitions on the front sides were secured by bellows. For quick loading and unloading, there were two 1,500 mm wide sliding doors that stood on rollers and were guided with head bars.
Furnishing
In addition to a service compartment with a driver's pulpit and toilet, there was a large cargo area with an integrated, lockable customs compartment and two dog boxes.
The cars were illuminated with gas and gas light bulbs. The supply container was placed lengthways under the car body. In the 1930s there was a conversion to electrical lighting. The heating was done with steam. There were static fans on the roof for ventilation.
