The Bavarian PwPost Bay 05 are combined mail and baggage cars for use in local trains according to Sheet 605 for the Royal Bavarian State Railways .

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 (e.g. type PtL 2/2 ) were available for transport, wagons of a particularly light design were required.

procurement

Between 1905 and 1911, a total of 281 wagons of the types BL , BCL , CL and PPostL were procured, all of which - with the exception of the wagons of the type PPostL - had a uniform floor plan, open end platforms with Dixi grids on the steps and staff transfers only secured by bars exhibited. Instead of the composite windows that were common up to now, large panes were installed.

Since separate car types were too complex and costly for the tasks of post or baggage car on the less frequented local railway lines, a total of 77 combined mail / baggage cars were procured between 1905 and 1911, eight of which were of the PwPost Bay 05 type according to sheet 605.

Whereabouts

Of the original eight cars, four came to the DB, where they were taken out of service by 1959.

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.

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. The suspension springs had a length of 1,540 mm. The 8 layers of the sheets had a cross section of 76 mm x 13 mm. 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 merged directly into the side walls. The car crossings on the front sides could only be used by the staff. To load the small cattle section, there was a roller door on both sides with a sliding door with a width of 1,500 mm guided by head bars. The combined luggage and service compartment had outwardly opening doors that were drawn into the car body. The mail compartment could only be entered through the luggage compartment or through the transition at the front.

Furnishing

The car body was divided into a mail compartment, a combined packing and service compartment and a small cattle compartment. The compartments were accessible through centrally arranged intermediate doors. 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.
