It was always my dream, to possess a Road & Show Convoy. Since I could not carry out this dream, I built him for me as model in the Maßstab 1:87. Since I am a friend of good Heavy Metal music, the Convoy the name should talks/Black Devil`s to carry.
This railway train consisted of Trucks and railroad cars. The Trucks became on Niederflur - railroad cars shipped.
The overall length of the course amounts to 7m.
In addition I was interested in this time also for heavy transport and cranes. Thus my first models developed in April 1984. I called it
"Ponsens of special vehicles " and painted her with its own color. Until today the vehicle park has a Größe of 1000 vehicles, which I can call my own.
Began everything with heavy load vehicles cranes of different companies, e.g. Breuer, Colonia, Baumann, broke u.s.w. , me fascinated. With the help of my friends, who work at the heavy transport and crane companies, I caught to my first models to build. A red Scania (H0) of the company Kibri was my first heavy transporter. Now it went only correctly loosely. The heavy transporters became more bigger and longer. Finally I trusted also cranes too build myself.
Developed e.g. Tele Gitterkräne, small and large route penalty (driving hotels), for workshop vehicle, heavy load vehicles (für the transport of heavy goods or für crane parts), various cars (combination, Caddys of rough-terrain vehicles), heavy salvage tractors, Abschlepper (any kind), areas of cranes, armored recovery vehicles and many old timers (of 1936 - 70).
In order to accomplish a difficult heavy transport, the company COLONIA developed 1989 "Schnibbelmobil ". the tractor consists of three different vehicles. Ford Granada combination, Mercedes 207D and a MAN lower floor panel. This vehicle fascinated me so much, which I
copied it, which me only after several attempts is successful.
In this time learned I mean current woman to know. It was in such a way inspired of my hobby that it began to build.
Later it was interested für helicopter, which builds you now as models also. These were integrated into my vehicle park. Later still railway trains, which were meant for salvage, were added.
Now we began to also manufacture für other model construction amateurs and model railroadmen when desired models.
It surprised us much, as large the demand was on our offer. This spurred us with großer joy to further-build natürlich on. Simply a mad feeling is to be experienced, as inspires others by our work.
In October 1998 we came the first time into the Guinness book of the records. On it we had not at all counted. Even the press and railway club were interested für our activity. Now we wear also prospective customers für our models in trace N. also this challenge to take we and these desires will try to carry out.
Also in the year 2002 we got two further entries into the Guinness book of the records. This succeeded to us by the building of the Granada ("Schnibbelmobil ") and the Smart as Telecrane.
We would like to thank you in this way again completely cordially at following friends and clubs, who stand for us up to now and hopefully also further to the side.
