Shinsei
Information received from Achim Lademacher

Shinsei is a manufacturer of diecast models in different scales. Their 'Mini Power' series was available in the 1970's and 1980's and featured trucks, fire apparatus and construction machinery ranging from 1/48th to 1/132rd scale. In 1980 Shinsei released the 'Mini Truck' series consisting of a Kenworth conventional, a Peterbilt CoE and a GMC CoE, each of them available with two different trailers. This series later re-appeared under the 'H.O. Haulers' name. Despite this name only the Mack CoE was close to 1/87th scale, the other models were smaller (the Kenworth was 1/128th scale for example).

Apart from these two series Shinsei manufactured an exact 1/87th scale model of the Hitachi EX8000. In 2007 this was the 2nd largest hydraulic mining shovel of the world and Shinsei made the model for Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. as a promotional item. It is one of the biggest HO models that has ever been available.
