Lemke Minis 2026 Range Announced
The Lemke Minis 2026 range delivers a substantial expansion of European road vehicles, ideal for bringing layouts and dioramas to life from the post-war period through to the modern era. The announcement includes classic utility and industrial transport, such as Mercedes-Benz L322 coal lorries in railway and industry liveries, alongside detailed Liebherr A922 road/rail excavators for infrastructure scenes in BLS and DB Bahnbau markings.
Wiking Announcements: February 2026
Wiking’s February announcements offer a nostalgic tour through classic European road transport, with a strong emphasis on mid-20th-century vehicles perfect for period street scenes. The HO range spans everything from everyday motoring to commercial workhorses, including a VW Caddy, early Mazda MX-5 and a characterful VW T1 ambulance with trailer, alongside classic lorries from Mercedes-Benz, Henschel and Magirus in authentic operator liveries. Construction and agricultural life is represented too, with a Krupp crawler excavator, Hanomag wheel loader and other utility vehicles helping recreate busy industrial and town environments. Beyond HO, agricultural modellers receive a larger-scale Fendt 832 Vario tractor in 1:32 scale.
