Multi-Facetted contrasts With the new construction machinery models for February, there is a striking contrast between scales: the HR 18 mini-digger appears in both 1:87 and N-gauge, making an attractive duo. In addition, WIKING has created an attractive mix of model vehicles ranging from classics to youngtimers. These include the Samba van, the “Pretzel” Beetle and the Porsche 914 from VW as well as the Citroën Pallas and the Büssing forward drive bus with passengers. The Allgaier single-axle trailer from the 1960s shows just how much times have changed in the world of agriculture as it is dwarfed by the Kaweco dump trailer that sits along side it. The traditional model-makers have created an addition to the highly popular series of “Milestones from WIKING’s history” in the form of the limited edition set entitled “Fast & robust: the Hanomag service fleet”. The large circular garage that is bound to evoke memories of the 1960s amongst avid collectors also makes a reappearance as part of the set.
