Model: HO gauge. The time has finally come and Herpa was able to persuade the Polish shipping company Repinski to approve a 1:87 scale model. The eye-catching fleet includes around 90 vehicles, which travel across half of Europe, primarily transporting bulk goods and tanks. As the first vehicle from the shipping company from Kosciernzyna, we have set our sights on Le Mans, as the 24-hour race at Le Mans is also celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The original three-piece rims are implemented in the model in Pawel Repinski's two-tone color choice. Countless prints are necessary to implement the model.
The 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.
