Model: HO gauge. Finished model made of plastic, painted and printed. Daniel Eisinger likes it colourful, which is again impressively shown with this semitrailer. In addition to the forwarding company's "standard vehicle", which is already quite elaborately designed, this truck is already his third show vehicle, which Herpa has implemented in the well-known showcase packaging.
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.
