In terms of historical development, this
carriage is identical to our carriage 27 230
Münster which houses our Bistro Café. And like
its contemporary, from the mid-1970s 27 479 also
ended its days on Deutsche Bundesbahn as a works
vehicle. Coupled with other carriages of the
same type it served as an Instruction vehicle in
AW Opladen.
The
carriage was acquired in this condition by
Historische Eisenbahn Oberhausen HEO) from the
Deutschen Bundesbahn. Since the HEO had been
looking for a long time for a baggage coach type
Pwi-31a, of which we had 2 examples, we
exchanged our carriage 117 352 for the type
Bi-29 in 2000. Restoration work of this valuable
2nd-class vehicle is due to commence in Winter
2004. The carriage completely lacks any interior
fittings so it will probably be 3 years until it
is ready for service.
