Tesmo

Tesmo was a German model railway maker known for models of the V 80 diesel locomotive and VT 11.5 train. Its models were later taken over by Heinzl and continued in revised form under Ortwein.

The story of Tesmo

The history of Tesmo is somewhat enigmatic, with specifications available from the mid-20th century. They began their journey in an undefined location, making traditional toys before advancing into more detailed miniatures and action figures. Their unique blend of traditional craftsmanship with innovation and creativity soon captivated toy collectors. An interesting fact about Tesmo is that each figurine goes through an elaborate process before reaching the consumer, presenting an artefact of laborious human effort.
