Released as a semi-trailer truck, this Braunschweig forest worker livens up the selection. What is more, the log transporter adds an authentic classic to the N-gauge.

Brand/Importer Information: Friedrich Karl Peltzer was born on February 5, 1903 in Berlin. As the son of an officer of the Kaiserliche Marine [Imperial German Navy], he encountered seafaring at a very early age. Therefore it is no great surprise that he was soon interested in model shipbuilding. He impressed friends and family with his astounding dexterity and attention to detail. It was the starting point for an aspiring company, whose foundation admittedly still took almost three decades longer.
