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.
