BMW R75, heavy Motorcycle with Sidecar, 1:87 ROCO 238.

The ROCO 1:87 scale heavy motorcycle with sidecar is sold with a headlight with Schlitzblende and brake/rear light, but the Notek Kfz-Nachtmarschgerät is missing.

The motorcyclist is wearing a helmet with ear protection, like those worn by the German Federal Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) in the 1960s. Apparently, ROCO reused their Bundeswehr motorcycle dispatch rider figure (ROCO 233), but without replacing the modern motorcycle helmet with a Wehrmacht steel helmet. This error may be corrected by giving the motorcyclist a different head with steel helmet scrounged from a Wehrmacht infantry figure.

Compatible with HO scale model railway equipment and miniatures by ESPEWE, Faller, Märklin, Noch, Pola, Preiser, and Wespe Models.
