Busch 87210 TT EMW 340, People's Police – classic GDR emergency vehicle in TT scale
With the Busch 87210 EMW 340 in the distinctive livery of the GDR People’s Police, model railroaders get an authentic emergency vehicle from the early postwar years for their TT layout. This model is a highly detailed replica of the vehicles used by the People’s Police in the 1950s—a unique addition for anyone wishing to recreate realistic East German city scenes or historical police operations.
A historic model with a special background
The history of the EMW 340 begins in 1949 with production at the Eisenach Motor Plant. Initially manufactured under the name BMW 340, the model was renamed EMW 340 on July 1, 1952, following a patent dispute with the West German BMW plant in Munich. Technically, the vehicle is based on the BMW 326, a successful pre-war model. Production of the EMW 340 continued until 1955—including as a service vehicle for government agencies such as the People’s Police.
Police vehicle with an authentic appearance
The People’s Police version is immediately recognizable not only by its typical green-and-white paint scheme but also by the realistic rendering of details such as body lines, window frames, and lighting elements. Such vehicles were used for patrol duty, checkpoints, and the transport of people or materials, and they shaped the streetscape of the early GDR.
Detailed 1:120-scale model
Busch has produced this model in TT scale with the utmost precision. The 1:120 scale allows for seamless integration into TT layouts, while the design has been precisely tailored to the original. The vehicle is beautifully crafted and impresses with its unmistakable appearance as a People’s Police service vehicle from the 1950s.
