Description

About the model: BRAWA is offering a detailed model of the DB Era III refrigerator car Ibdlps383 "Schlappe Seppel". The H0 model in its prototypical paint scheme and lettering has extra platforms, grab irons and steps, metal wheels profiled on the inside and outside, and close coupler kinematics. The car also has the road number 521 666 [P].

About the prototype: The Tnf Berlin (Tnfs38) was created in 1942 as a simplified refrigerator car design. The basic construction was provided by the previously developed Glmhs Dresden, in welded design. In contrast to these, the refrigerated cars were fitted with 300 mm thick insulation and zinc sheet lining to protect the wooden lining inside against moisture ingress. To ensure that the doors were tightly sealed, the sliding doors gave way to double-leaf hinged doors. The most striking feature, however, was the vertical boarding in combination with the typical white paintwork of the refrigerated coaches. From the mid-1950s, the German Federal Railways (DB) made several design changes and modernizations to the wagons it took over. For example, the high-maintenance wheelsets with plain bearings were replaced with modern ones with roller bearings or the car bodies were rebuilt from scratch if the insulation values were insufficient. Although the wagons retained their main dimensions as a result, the conspicuous box frame now disappeared under horizontal board cladding, and later even under laminated wood panels. New developments of refrigerated wagons at DB later enabled private breweries to acquire a large number of wagons from DB and use them to transport their beer. As these were private wagons belonging to the individual breweries, they were usually fitted with the company's own advertising.
