Collecting Emergency Vehicles from Siku
Siku is one of familiar firm for Japanese diecast car collectors because they had been imported Japan since 1966 constantly.
I love Siku cars because the firm does continue to make a lot of police cars, police buses, ambulances and fire engines, and keep their quality for a long years.
We can find some descriptions about this firm in "Classic Miniature Vehicles of Northern Europe" by Edward Force, Schiffer Publishing Ltd. 2002.
-The Sieper-Werke,found by Richard Sieper in Luedenschild,Germany in 1921,began to produce toys in 1949 and introduced its first products at the Nuernberg Toy Fair in 1950. At the same fair in 1955,the firm's V (Verkehr:traffic) series of 1/60 scale miniature cars was introduced.And In 1963 its first diecast cars appeared.
Since the introduction of metal models,the firm has produced 1/60, and 1/55 scale diecast miniatures added since 1973.

Several Intresting stories about Siku and European Police Cars
---Berndt Arnold from Austria
About Siku cars for European countries
Siku cars are available all over Europe, but some models are only available in certain countries. I know that there are dutch, swiss and french models, mostly emergency cars or postal cars that are only available in these countries. You cannot find Austrian Police Cars in Holland, for example. But of course, the majority of emergency cars is from Germany. And SIKU has started to produce die cast cars in 1/87 scale.
The story behind the word "Peterwagen"
In 1946, a German city,Hamburg was allowed to use police cars again. Back then, police cars were called "Radiowagen",because they were equipped with radios for communicating. After the second World War,Hamburg was occupied by British troops and a British officer did not understand the German word "Radiowagen". So, a German gouverment worker was trying to translate it and he said: "Radiowagen, its like a Patrol Car"!
The british officer did not understand this, because of the German accent, so he asked the German man to spell the word "Patrol Car". The German man started to spell.
He said: "Patrol Car, the word starts with a "P" like "Peter", the British officer had enough and said, OK, Peterwagen, wrote it down in the official papers and out of a missunderstanding, the word "Peterwagen" was born and used ever since. Thats how the "Radiowagen" changed to "Peterwagen".It is a "slang" word, and therefore, not mentioned in dictionaries.
About Austrian Gendarmerie and their police cars
Gendarmerie has nothing to do with the military, here in Austria. Polizei force is in charge of cities and Gendarmerie is in charge in rural areas in the country side. They have the exact same authority. But actually, in order to save money, the goverment has terminated the Gendarmerie forces and we only have Polizei forces left. I think in the past Polizei and Gendarmerie did not cooperate, when it came to buying equipment or cars, Polizei did their thing and Gendarmerie did something else. But now, they are all on the same page. That is why there are so many different Police cars on the road. Mainly Volkswagen, but there are also Peugeot, Renault, Skoda, Opel but I have also seen Mercedes and Chrysler Voyagers.
The Autobahn Polizei is using Audi and Opel, but also unmarked cars like BMW and once I saw a Porsche. Many of the city police cars have fuel efficient diesel engines, plus diesel fuel is cheaper then regular fuel. There are just not so many high speed pursuits that would justify big V 8 engines, like in America.
Colour of German and European police cars have been changing
In the past, all German police vehicles have been painted white and green.
Since a few years the colors have changed. I think all member countries of the European Union are going to use these colors, Silver with blue or green. I think in Germany it is up to every state itself to choose blue or green. Also in Austria, the police cars will be silver and blue. In fact, Vienna received recently its first shipment of new Volkswagen Vans in silver and blue. The other states are soon to follow.
The European Union is trying to unify member countries, the sarted with the Euro as currency, also license plates on cars are going to look the same. With the same colored police cars, I guess they want them to be recongnized more easiely, no matter in which country you are.
"MK" and "LS" letters on hood
Some police cars from Siku have "MK" and "LS" letters on hood.The letters "MK" stand for "Maerkischer Kreis",this is an area in the German state of "Nordrheinwestfalen".And the letters "LS" would mean "LuedenScheid", where Sieper Werke stands in Nordrheinwestfalen.
The Maerkischer Kreis includes 15 communities (I think you call it prefecture, the German
word is "Gemeinde") with 15 community capitols.
The Maerkischer Kreis is 1,060 square kilometers with 460,000 people living there. 50% of the area of the Maerkischer Kreis are protected National Parks. There are 56 single Nationla Parks and a lot of lakes and rivers. It prides itself for its high level of quality living and a lot of opportunities to relax.
It has one of the highest developed metal industry in the state of Nordrheinwestfalen. Screws, nails, wires, clips, springs.......also, it is well known for its job shops. These are shops, that develop and build complete components, (electronic or steele) to deliver them to airplane and automobile industry.
There are more then 170 sights, like museums, castles.......the most important one is considered the castle "Altena". it is considered the worlds oldest youth hostel.
Now, Luedenscheid is the Capitol of the Maerkischer Kreis. The reason, why you cannot find it on your map is, maps are probably not as detailed. they will indicate the state, but a state is divided, but the maps are just to small to show all detail of every single community in one state.
On a German license plate the first two letters on the left indicate the community. If there is only one letter, like "M" this is the state capitol. "M" for Munich. "B" for Berlin and so on. |

I made a related link to "rettungsdienst online.com", a website about emergency rescue services in Switzerland.The owner of this website have a job in the rescue service as a team leader and a paramedic with qualification.
The descriptions are written in German, but you can find and enjoy a lot of photos about actual ambulances and rescue vehicles in Europe and the world.
