Wiking 0437 03 H0 HGV Mercedes Benz Platform-truck MB NG forwarding agency Schmidt

And now the little brother: The MB NG once drove with the Gevelsberger forwarding company Schmidt and was considered to be the guarantor of the regular delivery of bulky goods. Wiking miniaturizes the front-handlebars of the seventies and thus provides another short-range counterpart to the already well-known long-distance trailer. It is one of the large traditional companies in the logistics sector: Ernst Schmidt founded the forwarding company of the same name in Gevelsberg in 1893. First offices were opened in Hamburg in 1953 and then in Bremen in 1954. The first bulk export traffic to Europe and the Middle East took place in the mid-1960s. The fleet of vehicles – including the Büssing BS 16 and THE MAN Pauschke – already comprised around 70 vehicles in the 1980s.Driver's cab as well as gray-blue platform Fender and lower part of the cab as well as chassis with cardan shaft, but also with Crimson red rims. Silver radiator grille, including silver-plated front lights. Flatbed feeder silver gray, interior black. Cover window gray. Vehicle number "135" on the cab sides. Front cab with 'Schmidt', flat sides with 'Schmidt Forwarding' slogan and running stripe in light blue look. Rear with lettering "Schmidt" and light blue stripes below it.
