Model: HO gauge. Finished model made of plastic, painted and printed. MAN TGM CC Ziegler Z-Cab Intercantonal Fire Brigade Training Center Switzerland. If that isn't something out of the ordinary. In July 2022, Ziegler from Giengen an der Brenz will deliver a fire engine with black stickers for the first time. Not every day, but it was the wish of the intercantonal fire brigade training center in Balsthal, Switzerland. The vehicle is intended to be used on site as a training vehicle for training purposes, particularly for the many national and international tunnel training courses. The cabin and the entrance have been redesigned for the TGM CC and correspond to the latest MAN generation.
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.
