In 1942, reefer wagons were built with the aim of keeping suitable goods cool. These Interfrigo wagons had several specific materials:
- a 300mm thick layer and an inner lining of zinc sheeting to protect the wood from damp
- to keep the doors watertight, the revolving doors were changed for sliding doors
- vertical panels were painted white
From the 1950s onwards, the German railway company DB made a number of changes not only to the design but also to the remodelling. For example, the axles mounted on bearings required a lot of maintenance, and therefore wasted time, so the engineers replaced them with other more modern bearings.
The manufacturer of model trains Brawa, therefore offers you a reproduction under HO scale: 1/87th of these wagons.
