With the Mehlhose 211003399 Multicar M21 in the “Coal Trade” version, Mehlhose brings a genuine slice of everyday life in the GDR to your TT model railroad layout (1:120 scale). As a versatile micro-transporter, the Multicar M21 was an irreplaceable vehicle in East German urban and utility services—especially in the coal trade.

A typical everyday helper for city and farm

The M21 was the first industrially manufactured Multicar model and was produced at the VEB Fahrzeugwerk Waltershausen starting in the 1960s. In the “coal trade” version, it was used to deliver briquettes, coke, or lignite to households, cooperatives, and businesses—often seen in front of apartment buildings, in backyards, or at local supply cooperatives (LPGs).

A detailed model with character

The vehicle has been faithfully recreated in TT scale—including an open cargo bed, fine printing, and the characteristic “Kohlehandel” lettering. The angular body, functional design, and realistic color scheme make the Multicar an eye-catcher in any street scene, at depots, or in city dioramas.

A classic with cult status

Hardly any other vehicle epitomizes everyday life in the GDR as much as the Multicar M21. Whether as a coal delivery truck in winter, a service vehicle, or a municipal workhorse—it was everywhere. This model perfectly captures that unmistakable spirit of the times in miniature form for your TT layout.

For fans of East German model-building culture

The M21 “Coal Trade” is a must-have for anyone who wants to enrich their layout with authentic GDR vehicles and everyday scenes. Whether as a standalone model or in combination with other utility scenes—this vehicle is simply a must-have.
