A Prussian “Delight” of a Special Kind – the Prussian provincial railroad freight train with a class P 8 and four classic freight cars. The so-called “Twelve Apostles Car” is particularly worth mentioning, an acid transport car with twelve stoneware pots for hauling aggressive substances such as sulfuric acid, oleum, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and phosphoric acid or also concentrated lyes or strong oxidizing chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide. The beer car for the Görlitz Incorporated Brewery transports classic German liquid. The cooling was done with water or dry ice using the level of technology for that time. The cold was distributed only by air circulation, which guaranteed a temperature of +4° C to -18° C / 39° F to 0° F. This meant that the beer arrived at the customer well cooled in any event. The set is completed by a stake car with a load of rough-cut lumber as well as the obligatory freight train baggage car.
