Rietze
Rietze Automodelle from Altdorf near Nuremberg is one of the leading manufacturers of miniature vehicles in H0 scale (1:87). With 4.425 models, Rietze offers an extensive range covering above all buses, trucks and cars. The company has been on the market since 1988 and has built an excellent reputation especially in the bus models segment.
Rietze is particularly well known for its detailed reproductions of city buses, coaches and commercial vehicles.

For model railroaders, Rietze vehicles are indispensable for creating realistic street scenes and bus stations on the layout. The to-scale models match perfectly with the buildings and figures of other H0 manufacturers.
