Corgi was present as part of a large Hornby stand but the display of truck models was poor. Sword models were not represented this year. ROS had a stand in the main part of Hall 7 for the first time in recent years although there are no imminent construction releases planned. YCC were on the BYMO stand with the Liebherr LTM 1400 in Breuer colours. A fly jib for the model is expected by mid-year. BYMO had nothing new on display and the Komatsu PC 8000 seems as far away as ever and is not expected before Q4 at the earliest. The long-awaited Komatsu pipelayer may come out at mid-year.

HK-Funktionsmodellbau had a stand. There next model is expected to be the Volvo A40D.

BYMO RTG should appear by mid-year.
