Huge Hanoverian chain muscle man. The K55 chain tractor from the Hanomag works in Hanover, whose type designation stands for the 55 hp diesel engine, has a unique position in the model history of the Wiking chronology: it was already in the 1950s on a scale of 1:25 by the Berlin model makers as Purely illustrative model designed exclusively for Hanomag. When the hood was removed, a view of the simulated engine was revealed. There was even more: it was more than unusual for tracked vehicles to be steered with a steering wheel. The Hanomag K55 was the rare exception, because otherwise the learned lever control was the order of the day. So it's no wonder that the K55 with snow blade - whether in the forest or on the construction site - was easier to control even for the inexperienced men in the driver's seat.
Wiking started their first production of traffic models in Berlin. For 85 years, impressive models have been created there that are the mirror image of German automobile manufacturing. Now the Wiking range is designed and produced in south-west Germany by the Sieper Group. The range is constantly growing with new examples such as fire engine turntable ladders and passenger cars, but also current tractors as well as various classics. Not only current examples are brought out in miniature, but also forgotten models.
