About the model: BRAWA presents the prototypical model of the DR acid pot wagon Z, belonging to Era III. The high-quality model impresses with a detailed look and high-quality features such as a multi-part brake system, brake shoes at wheel level and extra attached signs.
About the prototype: Tank wagons were unsuitable for transporting aggressive liquids such as acids for a long time. Although there were already tanks with a rubber lining in the 1920s, pot wagons were still generally used to transport such goods. Wagon builders usually used a 4.00 m or 4.50 m axle base and arranged ten or twelve earthenware pots on it, each with a capacity of 1000 - 1200. The pots are held by wooden and rubber supports, the box supports are stiffened by diagonal braces. The sloping floor is partially filled with bitumen or protected with lead sheeting to improve the drainage of spilled cargo. There is a wooden walkway between the pots. The pots are sealed with rubber or wooden plugs. A high bulkhead protects the personnel on the brakeman's platform, which is obligatory for caution wagons. Many small or large chemical companies had hired such wagons from the respective railroad directorate as private wagons. In the FRG, Degussa donated its last pot wagon to the Bochum-Dahlhausen Railway Museum in 1985. At the DR, pot wagons could still be seen in use in 1990, and several associations have preserved wagons in their stock, including in Aschersleben, Magdeburg and Staßfurt.
