The story about the special model:
There are many model buses from almost all major transport companies. Whether BVG, Hochbahn or Rheinbahn; whether Rietze, Brekina or Holland Oto, the variety of models is gigantic.
In Cologne, however, the number of models is very manageable.
I wanted to change this situation and was able to produce a first model bus series in agreement with the KVB AG (Cologne's public transport company).
The choice fell directly on the MAN Lions City G 15, because these buses currently characterize the Cologne cityscape.

How did the line selection come about?
With a length of 27 km, the longest bus line of the KVB covers all facets of Cologne. It starts in the densely built-up district of Nippes, travels through the high-rise housing estates of Lindweiler and Chorweiler to picturesque Langel, and also takes in the odd commercial and industrial area.
Only articulated buses operate on line 121 during the week, and the chances of encountering a MAN Lions City G15 are good.
If there is a line for the MAN Lions City G15 in Cologne, then it is certainly line 121 at the moment.
