Covered Freight Car G10 „Persil“ DRG

Info about the original

At the beginning of the 20th century, chemists of the Henkel group developed a new automatic washing powder which came onto the market under the name „Persil“ 1922, the Berlin artist Kurt Heiligenstaedt created the famous „white lady“, who from then on dominated the Persil advertising. To transport raw materials between the factories and Düsseldorf, tank cars but also covered freight cars were used. Therefore to increase familiarity, some G-cars of the federation construction type were also painted green and advertised clean washing with the logo of „Persil“.
