Model: Gauge HO. Mercedes Arocs Classicspace 4x4 tipping semi-trailer Wagner Mitteleschenbach. The range of vehicles from the Middle Franconian company Wagner in Mitteleschenbach is being expanded with this tipper semi-trailer.

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.
