Model: HO gauge. The Rumpler truck was developed by the Austrian vehicle and aircraft designer Edmund Rumpler with a teardrop-shaped, aerodynamic body and front-wheel drive, which was presented in 1931 at the IAA in Berlin. The vehicle, of which two examples with different engines were built, was commissioned by the publisher Rudolf Ullstein for his Ullstein Verlag. The first truck type RuV 29 had a Maybach six-cylinder engine with 100 hp. The second Rumpler truck, type RuV 31, had a twelve-cylinder V engine with 200 hp and could travel at speeds of 100 km/h. Both trucks had drive shafts with two cardan joints that transferred power to the large front wheels. The two non-driven rear axles were designed as a balance beam and fitted with smaller wheels. Continental had developed its own special tires that were suitable for vehicles over 100 km/h. The payload was five tons. The coachbuilder Gottfried Lindner in Ammendorf had made the truck panel van in cooperation with the Ambi Budd press shop in Johannisthal and the Berlin coachbuilder Luchterhand & Freytag in Berlin-Tempelhof. Both vehicles were used by Ullstein Verlag to transport newspapers from Berlin to the Baltic Sea resorts. In 1943, the Rumpler trucks were destroyed in an air raid on Berlin. Source: Wikipedia

The British company Bachmann Europe Plc was founded in 1989 and acquired the brand name Liliput and the molds of the former Austrian company Liliput in 1993. A branch was opened in Altdorf near Nuremberg to serve the German and continental European market from here. All new product planning and product development for the Liliput brand is managed from Altdorf.

The focus at Bachmann/Liliput is on the two gauges H0 and H0e, the models are based on German and European models. While the molds of the former Austrian company were still used in the first few years, in the early 2000s they began to produce their own molds and models. The first steam locomotives were the class 62 locomotives with a metal body. In the years that followed, many models were to follow that contributed significantly to the current success of this brand, such as the H0 series 05, 45, 56, 71, 84 or 92 steam locomotives, the VT90, ET11 or FLIRT railcars, the E10 electric locomotives or E44 and last but not least legendary passenger cars such as the Karwendel Express, the compartment cars or the Altenberger cars.

The high quality of the products is also confirmed by awards from the trade press, for example the E44 electric locomotive was voted Model of the Year 2010 by the readers of Eisenbahnmagazin and it also received 1st place. 1st place as entry-level model at the Golden Track 2011 award ceremony, voted for by the readers of the magazines Modelleisenbahner, Eisenbahnjournal, Miba and Züge. Liliput most recently received the Golden Track 2015 for the most popular foreign locomotive for the Dosto SBB-ZVV electric double-decker multiple-unit train in H0.
