Wiking Bussing Trambus Sky Blue/Light Ivory (1949-59) WK072003 HO Gauge
This stunning 1:87 scale model of the Büssing Trambus captures the charm and innovation of post-war German public transport. Presented in an authentic two-tone sky blue and light ivory livery, this classic vehicle was widely favoured by municipal transport services during the 1950s. First unveiled at the 1949 Hanover Fair, the original Büssing Trambus featured a distinctive underfloor diesel engine—faithfully replicated in this highly detailed WIKING model.
When WIKING introduced its model version in 1951, it quickly became a bestseller. The transparent glazed top section, a novelty at the time, offered a clear view of the interior and set a new standard in model bus realism. So impressive was the craftsmanship that Büssing themselves used the model as a promotional gift in the early 1950s.
- Scale: 1:87
- Model years: 1949–1959
- Classic two-tone finish in sky blue and light ivory
- Lower body in sky blue with light ivory glazed top section
- Anthracite grey chassis with visible axle mounting
- Detailed interior in carmine red with pearl-white steering wheel
- Trilex wheel rims in light ivory
- Silver-painted Büssing spider with engraved detailing
- Silver-painted engraving ridges, fenders, and front bumper
- Carmine red tail lights and anthracite grey bus driver figure
A legendary model that reflects the craftsmanship of its time, perfect for collectors of vintage buses and classic German transport history.
