Both young and old are still fascinated by the subject of
"Pirates". This model was developed especially for the younger
audience. The components can be easily pushed together. If you want to
"set the sails" of the pirate ship, simply cut out the paper sails
included and attach them with commercial adhesive. The "Jolly Roger"
is of course also included.

The 43 class was
built by the German locomotive works Henschel und Schwartzkopff in the years
1927-28. The locomotive had a two-cylinder engine and a capacity of 1,880 psi.
The maximum speed was 70 km/h. Coupled with a tender type 2'2 T32 it could
carry 10 tonnes of coal and 32 m³ of water. The length over buffers was 22,615
mm. Later the 43 class locos were often coupled with type 2'2 T30 short
tenders. In addition many locomotives received Wagner und Witte type wind
deflectors. Coupled with a type 2'2 T30 tender it could carry 10 tonnes of coal
and 30 m³ of water. The length over buffers was 21,920 mm. The last 43 class
locos went out of service in 1967.

The new type Sherman
M4A1 was introduced in January 1944. Despite an improved 76 mm gun and a
completely new turret, the armament continued to be deficient so that the front
end and sides would frequently require additional protection. Thanks to their
superior numbers and good manoeuvrability, the American Sherman managed to
stand up to the German tanks. This tank has been deployed in many war theatres.

The Bf109 is one of
the Luftwaffe's most famous World War II fighter aircraft. More than 33,000
Bf109's were built in many different versions. Both its climbing capability and
acceleration in the dive were two of the Bf109s strong points. In production
since the summer of 1942, the Bf109G series displayed some noticeable changes
compared with the previous Bf109F version. The G-5/G-6 had a MK 151/20 mm
cannon firing through the engine. Two MG 131 machine guns were installed above
the engine. The belt-feed to the uprated armament necessitated aerodynamic
modifications to the engine cowling's which gave the aircraft its
characteristic "bumps".
The G-6 was used
extensively on all fronts from March 1943 until the end of the war. Later
production lots of the Bf109 G-6 were given fixed rear cab windows in a
one-piece design which vastly improved visibility to the rear. During a further
modification the tail was fitted with a rudder that was higher and had a larger
area than previous models. With a total of 13000 units, the G-6 was the most
widely produced of all Bf109's.

The 250 GTO, that is still regarded as one of the finest of
all Ferraris, was designed with the primary aim of suitability for private use,
but at the same time for winning races in the three-litre class. The Gran
Turismo body shape was aerodynamically optimised and resulted in a perfect
combination of suitability for purpose and beauty. The front of the 250 GTO was
particularly attractive due to the three cooling vents for the 2953 cc engine.
The 250 stood for the capacity of one of the 12 engine cylinders, the O for
omologato (= type approved), the FIA approval for races in the GT class. The
GTO was shown for the first time in 1962. Thanks to its 300 hp engine and good
aerodynamics it achieved a speed of about 280 km/h with acceleration from 0 to
100 in just 5.6 seconds. For three whole years (1962, 1963 and 1964) the GTO
dominated its racing class in inimitable style.

Since its establishment in 1939, Peterbilt has been one of the leading
manufacturers of high quality heavy goods vehicles in the USA. All Peterbilts
are built to the same standards of quality, both inside and out. The highly
adaptable 359 Conventional, designed especially for long distance hauling, is
available in two lengths. The bumper and bonnet on the 359-13 are manufactured
from fibreglass whereas those on the 359-19 are metal. The Peterbilt 359
"Bull Nose" is a typically American truck with a powerful engine and
lots of chrome. Its focus on high performance trucks with low maintenance
requirements and a long service life, qualities particularly evident in the 359
Conventional, allows Peterbilt to maintain its prominent position in the U.S.
truck market. This policy ultimately results in low running costs, efficient
operation and a truck that holds its value well.
