Description

The O 302 stands for the spirit of departure of Touring Finally, in 1:87 and thus the perfect counterpart to the well-known 1: 160 model: WIKING revitalises the forms of the Mercedes Benz touring coach O 302 in the contemporary design of the "German Touring". This company stands after the war for the departure of passenger transport on the long haul - inland and in Europe. Immediately after the currency reform in 1948, the founding fathers of the "Deutsche Touring" did pioneer work. These were four private partners to the initiator Heinz Thomae, to which in the same year the German travel agency, the German Federal Railroad as well as the European goods and baggage insurance as a shareholder met. In the early summer of 1948, three Büssing chassis were purchased in Braunschweig with iron delivery bills, on which bodies were then assembled in Stuttgart. Later, numerous bus types, including of course the widely used Mercedes-Benz O 302, are on the road. Today, more than 60 years after its founding, the Touring still has 25 of its own buses. The majority of transport services are now provided by subcontractors. Incidentally, the traditional bus manufacturer Kässbohrer designed the logo of the "German Touring GmbH" as early as 1949, which is still valid today in a slightly modified form and can be seen on the facelifted bus.
