Based on:
Following the second World War, the so called "thunderboxes" remained in use by both German railway companies. The twin-axles coaches were indispensable throughout the regions. The Deutsche Bundesbahn (German Federal Railways) equipped numerous of these B3yg coaches with new seating between 1951 and 1952. It wasn't until September 1973 that the last DB "thunderboxes" became superfluous when their home tracks succumbed to closure. Besides, the purchase price of one "thunderbox" was an incredible 35,000 Reichsmarks (according to its condition).
