	These are most likely 1:87 scale, as are many of the other
	Herpa vehicles.  1:87 is compatible with "HO" scale model
	railroad equipment.

	Herpa, Wiking (Viking), and several other German model makers
	do a nice job with these little models, but unfortunately
	(although understandably) they tend to focus strongly on German
	and other European marques (Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW, etc.).
	it's rare that they do vehicles made by companies based in
	Japan or North America.  

Yes, they had dozens of different models, and most were of German
vehicles.  Herpa has announced that the Miata model is their first of a
Japanese vehicle.  

Where did you learn of the Herpa & Wiking models?
