Rezension von Rudi Seidel / Redaktion auto & modell

Inhalt

Obwohl es in Österreichs Geschichte eigene Fahrzeugmarken und Konstruktionen wie Steyr oder geniale Fahrzeugentwickler wie Ferdinand Porsche gegeben hat, waren historische Autominiaturen aus Österreich weitgehend unbekannt.

Als der Autor ein altes Spielzeugauto mit „Made in Austria“ und „Igri“ Beschriftung auf der Bodenplatte in seine Hände bekam, begann er sich zu fragen: „Wer ist Igri, und was gibt es noch?“ Unbekannte Spielzeugautoformen weckten den Forschergeist weitere frühe Austro Minis aufzustöbern. Nachdem die Kollektion nach vier Jahrzehnten zu einer weltweit einzigartigen Sammlung angewachsen war, entstand die Idee, die Geschichte der Fundstücke genauer zu dokumentieren.

Mit dem Buch „Historische Spielzeugautos aus Österreich / Toy Cars Made in Austria“ schauen wir durch ein Vergrößerungsglas auf kleine Autos in eine lang vergessene Industrie- und Alltagskultur. Neben Steyr- und Volkswagen- Modellen, Traktoren und US-Straßenkreuzern, den Wiener Linien und vielen Werbemitteln gab es unter anderem den berühmten Igel Mecki auf einem Puch Moped.

Hersteller wie Proxima, Semperit, Kleinbahn, Gowi, Roco, Igri, CN, Artus oder Miro laden zum Entdecken und Forschen ein und lassen Österreichs Verkehrswesen von einst en miniature Revue passieren.

Content

While Austria has had its own vehicle makes and models such as Steyr and is the birthplace of ingenious vehicle developers like Ferdinand Porsche, historical car miniatures from Austria have largely remained unexplored.

Still a child, when author Marco Annau stumbled across an old toy car marked on the base with “Made in Austria” and “Igri”, he asked himself, “Who is Igri, and what else might be out there?” The shapes of unknown toy cars awakened his exploratory spirit, and he began the search for more early Austrian car miniatures. Four decades later, his collection has grown into a collection that is unique in the world, documented here in this book.

Toy Cars Made in Austria takes a detailed look at these small cars from a long-forgotten industrial and everyday driving culture. In addition to Steyr and Volkswagen models, tractors and US road cruisers, the Wiener Linien, a plethora of promo cars, and much more, we are introduced to the famous hedgehog Mecki … on a Puch moped! Manufacturers including Proxima, Semperit, Kleinbahn, Gowi, Roco, Igri, CN, Artus, and Miro invite readers to explore and discover, letting Austria’s roads of yesteryear pass by in miniature.

Great shelves
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4, Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
These are cute and easy to install. They were the perfect size for the location. I did use other drywall mounts to make sure they were more likely to stay in but after I installed they feel sturdy and reliable.

Different mounting mechanism than photos
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4, Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
I'm going to start off this review by stating that the mounting mechanism used on the Shelf is different than the one shown in the photo. In the photo, it shows a single bar which would have made the Shelf easier to level however, the product I received has two separate bars which means I have to be extra careful holding a level against the paper. Stencil. The reason I chose this product over different listings was because for a dollar or two more its photo showed a single bar. Now for the pros and cons: Pros: Accurate measurement. Shelf appears to be actual wood! The photos made it looks like a veneer, which it is not. Easy to install. Includes good instructions. Seems like it can hold items fairly well. Cons: The mounting hardware for drywall pretty flimsy, and I stripped out some of the drywall anchors during install. They still worked, but it was annoying to finish inserting them. The shelf doesn't sit fully flush to the wall from factory as the screws included make it protrude slightly. I can fix this with my dremel, However, This could have been solved from the factory by making the cavity slightly deeper. As mentioned above in my main detractor, it is a two bar mounting system rather than a one bar, which was shown in the photo.

Pleased overall
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
They have an unfinished feel, and the underside screws used to hold the shelf on the poles strip out really easy. Tighten those by hand and with care. Other than that, they look great and were easy to install. Came with a full set of hardware including anchors for various wall types. Stable enough to hold small to medium sized Lego sets (don't try to put Lego Hogwarts size kits on them--not big enough). Bought 3 sets of 4 and used others as Book shelves. They work very well for novel size or paperback sized books. Just make sure you anchor them well into the wall. These will only be as good as the installation.

Nice and Inexpensive!
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4, Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
Thé shelves are good quality and easy to hang. Thé instructions do leave a bit to be desired as they misidentify which anchor to use for dry wall. I followed instructions for the first shelf and it was not very stable. I switched to the other anchors and it was great. All hardware in included. These require minimum size holes in your wall, but it is a floating shelf so be prepared to patch when you take them down.  It’s a set of 4 so a good value!
