Vehicle type:
Registration country:
After the nationalization of the private railways had the SBB in
their fleet a wide variety of car types, which were not up to the
new requirements. Based on positive experiences with wagons with
axles of 9.00 m, standards were set for the new types to be
procured. For Nebenstrecken the biaxial second class carriages were
included in the program.
FZ2 parcel post wagon: Two small series of FZ2 combined baggage /
post wagons have been made in the years 1932-1940 by F2
conversions. With this type of wagon, it was possible to dispense
with carrying your own postal carriage on secondary routes. The
basic data are identical to those of F2.
FZ2 19001 - 19008: In the series 19001 - 19008 of 1932, the small
post office compartment, each with an additional sliding door, was
installed at only one end of the car. Otherwise, the car remained
in the layout and in its appearance resembled.
FZ2 19009 - 19013: In the series 19009 - 19013 of 1940, contrary to
the first conversion series, a new body was built on the old bases.
As a result, a larger post office compartment was created. Again,
both compartments had two side sliding doors.
Registration numbers: FZ2 19001-19008 & FZ2 19009-19013
Conversion from F2 on the basis of the old box (F-door in the
center of the car)
Conversion from F2; new box; F-door from the middle shifted,
therefore larger mail compartment
