Refrigerated car Tnfs 38 "Ganter Bier Freiburg" of the DB
Company number: 546 070 [P]


The Tnf Berlin (Tnfs38) was built in 1942 as a simplified refrigerator car design. The basic construction was supplied by the previously developed Glmhs Dresden, in a welded design. In contrast to these, the refrigerated wagons received 300mm thick insulation and inner lining with zinc sheeting to protect the wooden lining inside against the ingress of moisture. The sliding doors gave way to double-leaf revolving doors so that the doors closed tightly. The most striking thing, however, was the vertical boarding in connection with the typical white paint finish of the refrigerated wagons. From the mid-1950s, the German Federal Railroad (DB) made several design changes and modernizations to the wagons it had taken over. The high-maintenance wheelsets with plain bearings were exchanged for modern ones with roller bearings, or the car bodies were rebuilt if the insulation values were insufficient. The wagons retained their main dimensions, but the conspicuous box skeleton now disappeared under horizontal board cladding, and later even under plywood panels. New developments in refrigerated wagons at DB will later enable private breweries to purchase a large number of wagons from DB and use them to transport their beer. Since these were private cars from the individual breweries, they were usually provided with the company's own advertising.
