What is the meaning of LHB Coaches....
Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches are the passenger compartments of Indian Railways that have been developed by Linke-Hofmann-Busch of Germany (renamed Alstom LHB GmbH in 1998 after the takeover by Alstom) and produced by Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala, India. They have been used since 2000 on the Indian Broad Gauge (1676 mm) network of Indian railways. Initially, 24 air conditioned coaches were imported from Germany for use in the Shatabdi Expresses, after which the Rail Coach Factory started manufacturing after technology transfer. The coaches are designed for an operating speed up to 160 km/h and could go up to 200 km/h. However, they have been tested up to 180 km/h. Their length of 23.54m

and a width of 3.24m means a higher passenger capacity, compared to conventional rakes. The tare weight of the AC chair car was weighed as 39.5 Tons.
They are considered to be “anti-telescopic”, which means they do not get turned over or flip in case of a collision (chiefly head-on). These coaches are made of stainless steel and the interiors are made of aluminium which make them lighter as compared to conventional rakes. Each coach also has an “advanced pneumatic disc brake system” for efficient braking at higher speeds, “modular interiors” that integrate lighting into ceiling and luggage racks with wider windows. The improved suspension system of LHB coaches ensures more riding comfort for the passengers compared to conventional rakes. The air conditioning system of the LHB coaches is of higher capacity compared to the older rakes and is controlled by a microprocessor which is said to give passengers better comfort than the older coaches during summer and winter seasons. They are relatively quieter as each coach produces a maximum noise level of 60 decibels while conventional coaches can produce 100 decibels. Each LHB coach costs between Rs 15 million to 20 million, whereas the power car which houses a generator costs about 30 million.
USAGE
Indian Railways have decided to replace the conventional air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned Integral Coach Factory made coaches with the LHB coaches in all the trains by the end of 2016. Presently LHB coaches are seen mostly in premium air-conditioned trains such as Rajdhani Express, Shatabdi Express and Duronto Express owing to high cost of manufacture but slowly non-air-conditioned trains like Poorva Express , Sampoorn Kranti Express ,Purushottam Express , Karnavati Express , Shiv Ganga Express and Mahabodhi Express have also been upgraded with non-air-conditioned LHB coaches manufactured at Rail Coach Factory,Kapurthala, Punjab.
TYPES
LGS = Second class self-generating
LSCN = Second class 3-tier sleeper
LWACCW = AC2 Air-conditioned 2-tier sleeping-car (52 berths)
LWACCN = AC3 Air-conditioned 3-tier sleeping-car (72 berths)
LWCBAC = Air-conditioned pantry/kitchen/buffet car
LWFAC = AC1 Air-conditioned first class sleeping-car (24 berths)
LWFCZAC = Air-conditioned executive chair car (56 seats)
LWLRRM = Luggage/generator/brake van
LWSCZAC = Air-conditioned chair car (78 seats)
LWSCZ = Chair car

Dear Friends
Many of us still do not have a clear knowledge about the coach numbering used in Indian Railways so I have shared an article about TRAIN COACH SEAT MAP LAYOUT AND NUMBERING in this BOLG.
For detailed view I have shared an Excel Spread sheet here containing TRAIN COACH NUMBERING ACCORDING TO CLASS & TIER NAME USED IN TRAINS
In

the Link I mentioned below you will get the SEAT LAYOUT for all class of Compartments used in Mail Express of Indian RAILWAYS
Link : click here
Definition :
A coach is also assigned a five-digit number which represents the year of manufacture (first two digits) and the serial number of the coach itself (next three digits). Wagons again are classified using alphabets but have a way different meaning than their passenger-carrying counterparts.
In the attached pic the Coach number is 168857/C
So the break up is as follows:
Year of manufacture of the Coach is 2016 (First two Digits 16)
Coach Serial Number :8857/C
LHB Generator Car Code : LWLRRM
For LHB the following codes will be used:
LWFAC : Ac 1st class
LWACCW : Ac 2nd class
LWFCWAC : 1A/2A
LWACCN : Ac 3 tier
LWSCN : SL
LWFCZAC : EC
LWSCZAC : CC
LWSCZ : 2S
LGS/LS :UR/GEN
LWCBAC : Pantry Car or AC Hot Buffet Car
Hope this VLOG will help you all

I don't understand why they have chosen LWSCZ over LGS/LS.
LS has more capacity than SCZ.

Do you think they may introduce 2S in KK as well ?
As they have ordered LWSCZ also.

The picture will be clear if any factory dispatches LGS/LS, real general coaches.
