Motives of a winter car crash diorame in 1:87/HO scale:
A truck got of the road in a left turn and knocked over. On scene are fire service, an ambulance, police and road service.

What there is reality on our Fire Service - Fire Protection and Emergency Service pages, that will be shown in small scale on our model pages. What began more 25 years ago as a hobby, in the meantime became a job now. Especially for publishing in special periodicals, but also in order from fire brigades und emergency services we build example-like models of fire- and emergency apparatus and diorames in scale 1:87/HO.


Motives from a diorame in 1:87/HO scale named "The fire service police (German "Feuerlöschpolizei", 2. WW) on duty":
After a bomb attack during the 2. World War a "Grosse Löschgruppenfahrzeug" (GLG; special 2. WW fire engine), a "Leichte Löschgruppenfahrzeug (LLG; special 2. WW fire engine) and a Tanklöschfahrzeug (2. WW fire engine) are on the scene.
Beside the fire service there is an ambulance of the German Red Cross as well as the military police on the scene.

A report in 1/96 of the "Brandhilfe" (German fire periodical) describes the activity of the model designer Wolfgang Jendsch.
Out of fire and emergency model construction reports Wolfgang Jendsch published a lot of contributions, that will give tips and informations especially for model fans.

Beside the reports the book "Feuerwehrfahrzeuge im Modell" (transl.: Fire Apparatus Models) was published in 1988 with the Alba Publishing House (ISBN 3-87094-454-4). Although it concerns here in the meantime an older and partially contentwise overhauled publication, then it offers nevertheless still a lot of tips and informations to model constructioning in scale 1:87/HO.


Models of fire apparatus and small diorames in 1:87/HO scale (from left):

Up-to-date and regularly we published Model construction reports (list only in German language) about "Apparatus of disaster units and civil defence" in the German special periodical "Bevölkerungsschutz-Magazin" (German State Department of Civil Defense) since August 1988. Those short special reports give tips for the construction of the most well-known German disaster apparatus in scale 1:87/HO.
The "Feuerwehr-Magazin" (German fire magazine) published a report in three parts about fire model construction. That contributions will give numerous suggestions, tips and informations to the building of fire apparatus, fire stations and fire operations diorames.
