Märklin 42850 H0 273 2-pc set Postal wagon mr-a und BDüms 2nd class of DB

Transport of mail and luggage by the railway – that was once a day-to-day life and since the early days of rail transport an obvious matter of course. As from the 1950s on the new, comfortable 26.4 m express train carriages conquered the German railways, the Federal Post acquired suitable new rail postal cars in the course of the years 685. In keeping with the old tradition, there was not only a slot for letters, but in these vehicles also worked on the distribution of mail while driving. Not just for express trains. Until the late Federal Railways, there were fixed postal carriage rounds even outside the major magistrals, such as in express trains on the southern railway of Ulm – Friedrichshafen, where baggage was usually also transported. In that time, however, a so-called half-luggage car was usually enough. This variant of the 26.4 m express train wagon (BDuems) was built in 138 copies from 1958. All this is history. In the eyes of modern rail managers at the beginning of the 1990s, the success story of post and luggage transport, which lasted over 150 years, had no future. The last baggage counter closed in 1995, and postal trucks were still running until 1997 – but most recently only in fast post-IC trains.Archetype: A post rail post wagon mr-a from the Deutsche Bundespost (DBP), discontinued at the German Federal Railways (DB) and a semi-baggage car type Bueumen 273 2 class of the German Federal Railways (DB).
