The Bavarian PwPost Bay 75/00 were braked baggage mail cars for general passenger traffic, which were converted in 1900 from the combined mail and parcel mail cars originally built for the Royal Bavarian State Railways (K.Bay.Sts.B.). They were listed in the K.Bay.Sts.B. from 1897 under sheet no. 118 or in the one from 1913 under sheet no. 210 and 211 for the PwPost category.

history

The transport of mail was also a state monopoly in Bavaria, which was originally managed with horse-drawn carriages. With the advent of the railroad, competition arose from the state. 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.

procurement

Under the leaf br. 54 are in the wagon register K.Bay.Sts.B. from 1879 listed a first series of 80 pieces, which were delivered between 1875 and 1879. Another four cars according to the same sheet were delivered between 1881 and 1882. Around 1900, a total of 21 trolleys from these delivery series were converted into baggage mail trolleys, with the originally existing Leberlein brake also being replaced by a Westinghouse compressed air brake.

Whereabouts

In the 1913 directory under sheet no. 210 a total of 10, under sheet no. 211 a total of 11 cars are listed. With handwritten additions and updates to the documents up to 1919, sheet no. 210 a car and under sheet no. 211 two cars were taken from the inventory, so that at the time of the transfer to the Bavarian group administration only eighteen cars were left in the inventory. The whereabouts of these cars is unclear. However, they are all likely to have been retired by 1930.

Constructive features

Underframe

The frame of the car was already made entirely of iron profiles. As a towing device, the wagons had screw couplings according to VDEV . The drawbar was spring-loaded throughout and in the middle. The wagons were equipped with cage buffers with an installation length of 612 mm. The buffer plates had a diameter of 370 mm.

drive

The wagons had riveted half-timbered axles. The axles were stored in sliding axle bearings. The wheels had spoked wheel bodies of the Bavarian type 24. The suspension springs, each 1,764 millimeters long, had nine blades each. The cross-section of the leaves was 95 × 13 millimeters. In addition to a hand spindle brake, which could be operated from the raised brakeman's cab, compressed air brakes from the Westinghouse system were also installed. The brakes worked on both sides of all wheels. The brake system had the deflection bracket typical of Bavarian cars in the middle of the car.

Car body

The frame of the 7,445 mm long car body consisted of a wooden stud frame . This was clad with sheet metal on the outside and wood on the inside. The joints between the sheets were covered by cover strips. The roof was flatly rounded and slightly extended beyond the side walls. The side walls were slightly indented in the lower area. The wagons had continuous side walkways. The raised brakeman's cab at one end of the car was partially integrated into the car body and only accessible from the outside. Access was made on both sides by means of steps on the front wall.

Furnishing

During the conversion in 1900, the letter compartment originally present in the coaches according to page 187 (see page 118 in the WV of 1897) and the partition between the mail and luggage compartment were completely removed from the coaches according to sheet 210. All that remained was an open compartment with the original equipment of the luggage compartment (see page 187). The compartments were accessed through side doors. The lighting was done by gas lights. It was heated both by steam and by a furnace in the middle of the room. The car was ventilated through slats over the windows, the latter were retractable.

The interior of the wagons according to sheet 211 has been completely gutted. They have neither lighting nor heating. The cars are only equipped with steam heating lines to enable use in passenger trains.
