To complete the
all-steel D-Zug coaches from 1928 to 1930 the German State Railway
Company (DRG) developed this 4-axle luggage coach. Our 105 221 was
built by Waggonfabrik AG, Gotha in 1929. Coaches from this year were
slightly modified in comparison to those from 1928; in ours, the
storage area received more lamps. The coach remained, with minor
alterations, in service with DB until 1982. From that time it belonged
to us and became part of our historic trains. Eisenbahn-Tradition
completely restored the carriage to its original condition in 1994.
Since then it has had high-mounted signal lamps and end ladders. The
dog cabin, closed by DB, was re-opened and appropriate doors in the
side provided. The coach serves as transport for the many bikes
carried free in the Summer months.
Currently, the car is parked
with expired main inspection. A new operational refurbishment is not
planned in the foreseeable future.
