 Comment
on this model.
The Wirtgen WR 250 Cold Recycler and Soil Stabiliser
weighs around 30 tonnes. It has a mixing chamber where
materials can be combined and used to prepare and repair
road surfaces amongst other uses.
This model is in the colours of
Schnorpfeil, a German company.
Packaging
The model comes in a Wirtgen box and is enclosed between
polystyrene trays. The box is branded WR 240
indicating that this model is essentially a WR 240
rebadged with graphics.
The review model had no defects or missing parts.
It does not come with the DVD usually included with the
WR 240 model in Wirtgen factory colours.
Detail
The wheels are metal with heavy chunky tyres having a
deep tread. Hoses run to the rear wheels. Underneath
the model the milling drum is large with finely crafted
metal picks which are tipped with red paint.
The large cab has thin grab rails and mirror supports,
painted lights and wipers on the windows. Inside, the
cab detail is very good. Outside the cab the access
platforms are anti-slip and there are more high quality
handrails.
The engine bay has some really nice mesh grilles on the
top and under the cover the engine is detailed in
plastic parts. An exhaust outlet is included on the side.
The milling drum cover is metal and is a casting with
good detailing and very sharp Wirtgen graphics. At the
rear there is a beacon light and hydraulic hoses run to
the wheel supports.
Features
Both axles have linked steering and a reasonable angle
can be achieved.
The milling drum rotates and there is an adjustable flap
on the front and rear edges. The whole milling assembly can
also be raised and lowered.
The cab can slide sideways, and the seat and controls can
be rotated.
The engine cover opens, and poses in an open position.
Quality
It has a high metal content with some use of plastic.
The paint and graphics are very good.
Price
It is moderate value.
Overall
This model is derived
from the WR 240 model #871 and is essentially re-labelled
using graphics. Its is a high quality model and it
looks nice in Schnorpfeil colours.
Footnotes
The model first appeared at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in
2013.
