Undercarriage

The underframe of the coach was made entirely of riveted steel beams. The outer side beams were U-shaped with outward facing flanges. The crossbeams were also made of U-profiles and not cranked. The wagons had screw couplings of VDEV design as coupling equipment. The drawbar ran the length of the vehicle and was spring-loaded in the middle. The coaches had slotted cylinder buffers with an installation length of 650 millimetres, the buffer plates had a diameter of 370 millimetres. The coaches built to Design Sheet 6056.3 had shorter platforms which resulted in a shorter length over buffers.

Running gear

The coaches had riveted half-timbered axle holders of VDEV design. The axles were stored in sliding axle bearings. The wheels were spoked. Due to the long wheelbase of 6,000/6,600 millimetres, VDEV radial axles were used.

In addition to a screw brake located on one of the platforms at the end of the coach, the coaches also had air brakes of the Westinghouse type.

Body

The frame of the coach body consisted of wooden posts. This was covered with sheet metal on the outside and wood panelling on the inside. The joints of the sheets were concealed by cover strips. The roof was gently rounded and extended in a hood over the open end-platforms. The wagons had steps like those on mainline coaches and no longer the folding steps common on Lokalbahn stock.

Facilities

The CL coaches only carried 3rd class passengers and had a total of 56 seats and a toilet. The compartment opposite the toilet was separated from the central aisle by a lockable door and served as a sliding compartment for transporting prisoners. Alternatively, it could be used as a guard's compartment. A total of 20 standing places were designated for the two end-platforms. The end-platforms of coaches built to Sheet 6056.3 were shortened from 1,000 mm to 900 mm.

Lighting was provided by paraffin lamps and the coaches had steam heating. The coaches were ventilated by static roof vents and sash windows.
