Role model information

Until the 1920s, freight trains ran with hand brakes at all German railway administrations. In addition to the locomotive staff, the train's crew included a train driver as the highest authority, a packer, train conductor and shunter as well as several brakemen. The brakemen took over the braking of the train, the shunting work during stops along the way, and the exchange and processing of freight documents for the goods being transported. For this purpose, a support car was set up behind the locomotive, which served as a rolling place to work and stay. Only the brakemen had to sit in one of the brakeman's booths while driving. To complete its own development, the KPEV procured Pwg for the first time in 1913/14 according to sample sheet pr IIa13a. After the end of the First World War, this design was chosen to replace the old or missing support cars of most German state railways. From the 2nd revised edition of the model sheet to 1929, over 7,000 Pwg were built and spread not only in the former KPEV area, but also in Baden and Bavaria, Württemberg and Saxony. Apparently because of an attempted robbery on a train, the DRB removed the continuous running boards and handrails from the late 1930s. Further conversion measures before the start of the war included strengthening the car body frame and removing the window in the loading compartment door.
