Model: HO gauge. We continue with the model series from Heide Logistik in Kirchlinteln, Lower Saxony. Firmly established in northern Germany, the more than 30 vehicles are mainly on the road between Germany and the Benelux countries. This black Scania CS20 high roof has the familiar simple Viking design and comes in a one-off edition.
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.
