Prussian compartment car - the prototype

While the passenger cars were exclusively two-axle vehicles, three-axle vehicles were also built from around 1880 onwards, which were characterized, among other things, by their smoothness. After the nationalization of the railways in Prussia, the so-called Normalien, rules for the construction of rail vehicles, which also affected passenger cars, were created. The three-axle compartment cars are built according to these standards and were mainly intended for use in passenger trains. Wood was the predominant material in the first models, and steel construction was used at the beginning of the 20th century. At the same time, the kerosene lighting was gradually replaced by gas lights.
