Thanks for sharing this info, Andi :wow:

It's a wonderful model and as I'm also a Herpa collector it couldn't be better 8-)

I have also taken a closer look at the new Herpa catalogue for July and August and it seems that there will follow more PLAYMOBIL vehicles
Quote from the catalogue:
"The first of several transportation vehicles of Playmobil from Dietenhofen."

does anybody know what that truck carries around ? To have three rear axles it must be heavy . I could not imagine fully loaded with blue boxes it could weigh enough to justify the three. Or do german trucks have different weight to axle ratio differences ? around here trucks weighing in at 80,000 lbs only use two axles but they are dually's so it would make 8 rear tires . are those singles making only 6 rear tires ?

Just wondering if there is some sort of super heavy secret ride made of steel in there or something  :hmm:

Usaually the trailers here in Europe have 3 axles regardless of what they are transporting.
You can try to take a look at the Danish wikipedia site (http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A6ttevogn) where there are several photos of European trailers.


What do you call these trailers in English - semi-trailer?

What exactly do you mean ???

Herpa has made two models in the same scale as PLAYMOBIL called Playcars. There were a BMW (two different colours) and a Mercedes-Benz? Are those the ones you are thinking of?

The models can be found here (http://www.herpa.de/collect/(S(zyckwtnnnvcq1ybiabqtxyrx))/hitlist.aspx?lang=de-DE&query=playcar&express=1&direct=1&thumb=1).

around here they are Tractor-Trailers or Semi's.

Thanks LHAAP for the clarification

That's a must have truck for display on my shelves, thanks for bringing it to my attention Andi. :)

 I had to look at the real truck image twice just to make sure that it hadn't reversed into the tent.  8}

 So what is the tents purpose, is there a display inside it that has been unloaded from the trailer or is it just a covered waiting area before you climb into the trailer to view a display. ???

 I work on trucks and trailers all day and we would call that type of trailer a curtain sider, because it has large curtains either side.

The tyres on it are super singles, size 385/65x22.5 which means the tyres width is 385mm, the sidewall height is 65% of the width and the rim diameter is 22.5 inches. ;D

Thanks for all the technical info, Gareth :)

I know that this specific trailer is called a curtain trailer, but what is this group of trailers (long trailer with "a lot of" axles" ) called?

I notice on the Herpa site that stock is already getting low.  They have a traffic light system and it is showing red and amber already.

BTW, looking at the latest releases catalogue from Herpa, it says this truck is "the first of several transportation vehicles of Playmobil from Dietenhofen".

This traffic light showing both red and yellow means that the item is not yet available, but that it's going to be in a few days (or a month).

I have, as you, also noticed the text/info underneath the Playmobil truck and I am very much looking forward to seeing the next models in the series.

Of course, get ready to go.  I was working backwards! Just amber would mean stocks were running low.  (This explains a lot about the problems I have driving! ;D)

Today I've received my two Herpa models.

They are in the usual Herpa quality and I think the pictures speak for themselves :)

yeah, awesome website there.. nice stuff.. iam bit disappointed that nobody produces such a variety of military vehicle as 1:18. so difficult to get some in europe for a reasonable price!!!!

but i like that truck too.. shpul;d be as 1:18 and we could use it with the collections together..
