Brawa 50952 H0 Refrigerated Car Tnfhs38 "Wulle Brewery", DRG, Era II: A Piece of Railroad and Brewery History
The Brawa 50952 H0 refrigerator car Tnfhs38 "Brauerei Wulle" is a detailed reproduction of a historic refrigerator car of the German State Railroad Company (DRG) from Era II. With its true-to-original paint scheme, typical Wulle advertising and precise workmanship, this model is an eye-catcher on any H0 model railroad layout.
The prototype: DRG refrigerator car Tnfhs38
The simplified refrigerated car type Tnfhs38 was developed from 1942 and was based on the basic design of the Glmhs Dresden in welded construction. The wagons were fitted with 300 mm thick insulation and an inner lining of zinc sheet to prevent moisture ingress. The vertical boarding and the white paint were striking features that clearly distinguished these refrigerated wagons from other freight wagons.
The double-leaf hinged doors ensured that the loading doors were tightly closed, which was crucial for the transportation of temperature-sensitive goods such as beer and foodstuffs. After the war, many of these wagons were modernized and some were used privately. Breweries, including the renowned Wulle brewery, used these refrigerated wagons to transport their beer efficiently and effectively for advertising purposes. The wagons were decorated with individual company logos, turning them into rolling advertising media.
The Wulle brewery: tradition and quality since 1861
The Wulle brewery was founded in Stuttgart in 1861 and quickly developed into one of the best-known breweries in the region. Its beer was appreciated far beyond the region, and the striking advertisements shaped the image of the rolling freight trains. Following the revival of the Wulle brand, it now stands for nostalgic enjoyment and brewing tradition.
Brawa - precision and attention to detail in model making
Brawa is known for its models with the highest level of detail. The 50952 Tnfhs38 refrigerator car impresses with numerous intricate details such as extra brake systems, handle bars and spring assemblies. The openwork wagon body supports, the fine board joints and the internally profiled wheel sets ensure a realistic appearance. The precise printing on the model, including the typical Wulle advertising, makes this car a special collector's item.
Technical details of the Brawa 50952 refrigerator car
The model has a length over buffers of 139.1 mm and is designed for the 2-conductor direct current system (DC). It has close coupling kinematics in accordance with the NEM standard, which makes it easy to integrate into existing train formations. The minimum radius for use is 360 mm. An AC wheelset exchange is possible without any problems (AC wheelset: Brawa order no. 2187).
Era II: Railroad and Economy in the Pre-War Era
Era II (1920-1945) was a time of technical progress and the expansion of rail freight traffic. The Deutsche Reichsbahn played a central role in the transportation of food and perishable goods. Refrigerated wagons such as the Tnfhs38 were frequently used during this time to transport products such as beer, milk and meat. Breweries used the wagons not only as a means of transportation, but also as rolling advertising spaces.
