BRAWA 58059 - H0 passenger car Bylb421 DB

Prototype information

The 26.4 m long express train cars were introduced before the express train cars of the same length. Around 1950, the DB, together with a number of wagon factories under the leadership of the Wegmann company, began developing new four-axle passenger wagons for regional and long-distance transport. After building three 26.4 m long test cars, with middle and end entrances, this design was finally decided upon. At the end of 1951, the first order for 500 of these cars was placed with 15 car manufacturing companies. In the following years, further orders for 245 units were added, the delivery of which lasted until the beginning of 1955. The two basic types were the mixed-class AB car and the single-class B car. From the last-mentioned type, various push-pull control cars and, for traffic reasons, cars with luggage and dining rooms were developed to meet train transport requirements.

The running gear (bogie, Minden/Deutz type) and the structural design are the same for all types basically the same. The base frame and box frame are a welded profile steel construction. Special consideration was given to sound and heat insulation, the effort of which had to be kept within moderate limits in keeping with the use of the cars in district traffic. The walls and subframe were lined with rock wool and the roof with spray insulation (made from asbestos flakes). Apart from two types, the cars are divided into two large passenger rooms of different lengths by the central entrances that are not exactly in the middle of the car. The middle entrances have two relatively narrow revolving doors and a central column, while the end entrances with their wide revolving doors, the pivot point of which is moved inwards, and the slightly more convenient arrangement of the steps allow for easy entry and exit. The end wall is formed by multi-part folding doors, which, when closed, protrude into the anteroom in a box shape to keep the Berne area free.

The seating arrangement in the large passenger areas is 1 + 2 in the upper class and 2 + 2 in the lower class. The toilets at the ends of the car protrude into the large vestibules. The interior of the car is relatively simple, but still dignified. In 1st class, the walls and the frames of the upholstered seats are covered with fine wood veneer. In the 2nd grade, the wall surfaces have plastic wallpaper. The 1st class padding corresponds to the normal version of the DB. The 2nd class has padded double seats covered in imitation leather. The luggage racks in both classes are made of thin-walled, high-strength steel tubes and are covered with baking varnish (in a nickel silver tone).

A high-pressure heater is installed as a heater, which can be finely regulated by opening and closing heat-insulating flaps. The usual main steam pipe under the car has been eliminated. In addition to the steam heating, a normal electric heater for 1000 volts is installed, the resistance heaters of which are arranged under the seats in such a way that the floor remains free.

In view of the importance that the train turning operation has in the context of the structural transformation of the In order to provide train transport services and to relieve pressure on (terminal) stations, all express train carriages were intended for this use. The later installation of additional equipment, such as control lines and the main tank air line (8 atm), has been structurally prepared. 118 cars have received driver's cabs. However, initially only some of these cars and the associated cable cars were equipped with complete facilities for operation with remote control.

The driver's cabs located at one end of the car are completely similar in the three types of push-pull control cars. The operational requirement to be able to use these wagons freely like normal wagons resulted in a wagon head with a transition. The layout of the driver's cab and the driver's compartment in the car head on both sides of the central passage can be seen from the floor plans. Two revolving doors with window panes are arranged in such a way that one forms the end wall to the outside when used as a control car or serves as the end of the train driver's compartment in normal trains. The other door essentially closes off the car head from the inside of the car or just the driver's cab. This sensible arrangement of the doors enables a free transition from car to car if necessary.
