![]() And also the wheel frames of the interdolly are done in zinc and not in plastic. In exchange WSI convinces with a superior labeling since operating notes, sign plate and the Thömen marking are done excellently. Here the flexibility comes with the 2-axle interdolly that can be added or not. But this is because the real example is different and axle modules cannot be disconnected with the loading area. The Goldhofer combination is very functional and can be displayed in different configurations, while this is not possible on the Thömen combination. WSI is a new comer on the model market, but has earned formidable success in the last years with an excellent range of highly detailed models, as the Spierings mobile tower cane or the mega windmill trailers. Surely, Conrad has the advantage of more experience in producing great crane and trailer models. But how can we evaluate functionality and level of details? Reason for that simply may be different engineering principles that are used by WSI and Conrad. I prefer foam boxes and those ones where the models are not knotted to the box by wire.Īlso the weight differences are much obvious since the Maxikraft vessel bed has a higher weight than the Thömen combination. Which version might be appreciated is a decision of each collector. While the Thömen combination comes in a polystyrene box with plastic parts, Conrad chooses the proven foam system. The very first difference becomes obvious when I am unpacking the two. Today I’ll present two superior models in contrast to each other: the Goldhofer vessel bed from Conrad in Maxikraft livery and in Thömen livery the Nooteboom low loader from WSI and Little Treasure models.īoth models are highly detailed and therefore great additions to the popular crane models. Who didn’t watch even at nights when those long and heavy transports are maneuvering slowly through the roads? And of course also in miniature many die cast collectors are enthusiastic on trailer models. Heavy transports – many people are fascinated when large and heavy components are transported through narrow cities on closed roads. A comparison of two great trailer/truck models: MAN TGX-SLT vs.
