Model: HO gauge. MAN TGX GX swap body trailer IW We move Germany. “We move Germany” is an initiative that MAN launched in autumn 2022 and is intended to ensure a better image of truck drivers. The series of this initiative already includes three models that have appeared in stores. This fourth model is based in Saxony and is maintained by IW Transport GmbH in Leipzig. What is somewhat unusual is that the motif was implemented on two swap bodies. Immo Warnecke, the company boss, is proud of this eye-catcher. The driver's cab - like the original - is painted in several steps and receives the eye-catching printing. The model is released in a one-off limited edition.
The finished model is made of plastic, painted and printed.
Wilhelm Hergenröther founded the company in Nuremberg in 1949. The company name is composed of the name Hergenröther Patent. Initially, the company produced model railway accessories. In 1961, Riwa-Plastik, a plastic parts manufacturer for the photo and phono industry, was founded.
In 1965, Herpa was taken over by this company. Both brand names continue to be used. The first 1/87th scale car model was presented at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Two years later, the first truck model in the same scale followed. Over the years, the magazine "MASS:STAB" is published. Since then, six copies have been published annually.
