The Bavarian PwPost Bay 11 is a combined mail and baggage car for use in local trains according to sheet 222 for the Royal Bavarian State Railways network on the left bank of the Rhine . The wagons are a subsequent delivery for the former Palatinate Railways of the wagons according to sheet 601 for the KBSts.B.
development
With the growing network of local railways, there was a need for suitable wagons for local passenger transport. Since only tank locomotives with low tractive power were available for transport, wagons of a particularly light design were required.
procurement
Between 1892 and 1911 a total of 572 wagons of the types BL , BCL , CL , BPostL and PPostL were procured, all of which had a uniform floor plan, open end platforms with Dixi grids on the steps and staff transfers only secured by bars.
Since separate types of wagons for the tasks of post or baggage car on the less frequented local railway lines were too complex and costly, a total of 206 combined wagons were procured between 1891 and 1911, 4 of which were PwPost Bay 11 according to sheet 222. The procurement took place as a subsequent delivery from the manufacturer Rathgeber .
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 360 mm for the buffer plates. This was later replaced by case buffers. There was an open transition platform on one side.
drive
The cars had axle brackets of the short, straight design riveted from sheet metal and angles. The axles were stored in sliding axle bearings. The wheels had spoked wheel bodies of the Bavarian type 37. In addition to a hand spindle brake, there was also a continuous air pressure brake of the Westinghouse type .
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 flat barrel roof was more rounded on the sides and went directly into the side walls and protruded over the transition platform. The car was accessed from the transition platform. On both sides there were 1500 mm wide sliding doors with windows as loading doors to the luggage compartment.
The car crossings on the front sides could only be used by the staff.
Furnishing
The car body was divided into a mail compartment and a luggage compartment. The compartments were accessible through a centrally arranged intermediate door. The wagons were illuminated with kerosene lamps. 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.
