Product Features and Details
For our 2026 anniversary model, we are bringing industrial history to
life! We took our inspiration from the Meiderich steelworks in Duis
burg, founded by August Thyssen at the beginning of the 20th
century. Pig iron was produced there for decades - until the last of
five blast furnaces went out in 1985. The model recreates the plant‘s
legendary blast furnace 2 and brings the coal and steel industry into
the model world. A technically and historically fascinating theme
that deliberately goes far beyond our regular new products to mark
our 80th anniversary. At the same time, we are building a bridge to
another historical milestone: 75 years of the European Coal and Steel
Community. The European Coal and Steel Community, the nucleus
of today‘s EU, once opened up duty-free access to coal and steel -
and thus paved the way for economic unification and lasting peace
in Europe. A model with history, vision and weight - for collectors,
history and technology enthusiasts and anyone looking for
a challenge!
The model includes the blast furnace
with revolving frame, the inclined lift
with winch house, a dust collector,
the Y-pipe with associated pipes,
a gas flare, the casting hall
with gantry crane and a small
day bunker.
