The Bavarian Pwi Bay 61 are two-axle baggage cars for use in freight trains according to sheet 219 from the car registration list for the Royal Bavarian State Railways from March 31, 1913 (or sheet no Sheet 46 from the list from 1879). The secondary symbol i indicates that the cars were equipped with open transitions.

history

In the car registers K.Bay.Sts.B. The year 1854 is shown as the oldest year of construction for wagons of this type. Until 1860, the K.Bay.Sts.B. 163 cars already in their inventory. Until the end of the K.Bay.Sts.B. the stock of baggage cars for use in freight trains grew to around 1,000.

procurement

In the years between 1861 and 1866 the cars were procured according to sheet 219. In the directory of 1879 they were still shown as type J wagons . They had the same basic structure as the freight cars procured at the same time.

Whereabouts

Only number 17 518 of the wagons is listed in the 1913 directory, all others have been retired beforehand. Due to the type of construction - mainly wooden base - and the old age, this too was probably retired before 1923.

Constructive features

Underframe

The frame of the car was a combination of a wooden base frame and iron, outer side members. As a towing device, the wagons had screw couplings according to VDEV . There were also emergency chains in the basic equipment. The drawbar was spring-loaded throughout and in the middle. The wagons originally had rod buffers as a shock device with an installation length of 612 mm and 360 mm for the buffer plates.

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 38. The 1764 millimeter long suspension springs each had nine leaves. The cross-section of the leaves was 96 × 13 millimeters. There was a hand spindle brake which could be operated from the pulpit of the service room or from the open transition platform. In the middle of the car there was the brake deflection in the typical Bavarian design.

Car body

The frame of the car body consisted of a wooden frame structure, which was stiffened by steel drawstrings. The outer cladding of the car body consisted of vertical profile boards, as is usual with freight cars. Inside, the wagons were boarded with diagonally attached boards. The side and front walls were straight. The car body was divided into two areas for storing luggage and a 1295 mm wide service compartment. In addition, the cars with brakeman's seats had a toilet accessible from the open transition platform and - on the opposite side - a dog box. The flat barrel roof of the cars was provided with a brakeman's seat over the service room of a pulpit. This served the train driver for observation and as a brakeman's position. This brakeman's position was only accessible from inside the car. There was a 1500 mm wide sliding door on both sides for loading and unloading, which stood on rollers and was guided with head bars. There were continuous walking boards with stop bars on both sides.

Furnishing

The wagons were illuminated with oil lamps. All cars were equipped with a toilet.

It was heated by a stove in the service room. There were static fans on the roof for ventilation. The cars were all equipped with a line for steam heating and could therefore also be lined up in passenger trains.
