Model: HO gauge. The model is made of plastic, painted and printed. Om LM Transport is based in Bodalen in Ans and sends almost 100 vehicles onto the roads every day throughout most of Denmark and the rest of Europe. In 1978, Leif Møller founded his own trucking company and initially did the planning at the kitchen table in his private villa, while his wife Britta took care of the accounting. Since then there has been considerable development. Daughter Maria is now co-owner and the number of employees has also increased significantly.
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.
