Howard_S Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hi all, What are the current options for a Case or International 1455 model? Was it Schuco who did a limited run of them and no longer available? Did i hear there plans for another in the future? H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard_S Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Did the Schuco come in Case colours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 The Case 1455 XL you are talking about where from Wagenhof. That was a limited run indeed! The Sucho one is not a limited version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrol Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 The Schuco model is an International Harvester 1455 - not a Case 1455. I.e. it is red and white, not red and black. Still plenty of them available - although i think overpriced as they are £5 more than a Wiking model, but don't have the same level of detail.

The Sucho one is not a limited version That is the one, I take it would be near possible to get one of those?! No further product runs in a standard run, no special box?

dalethecaptain Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I got hold of a Wagenhof Case 1455 about six months ago, from a guy in Germany off ebay, it ended up costing me €260. I was sick as I already had the International, and I could of bought both models for €200 from Wagenhof when they first came out. I think the guys that made them were leaned on by CNH as the models were not 'licensed officially', so they stopped producing them after a few hundred of each.

Very interesting Dale, I wonder what the chances of getting the likes of Wiking, Weise or UH for example to produce a copy? I assume CNH is the problem here?

dalethecaptain Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 As with most brands these days, I think its just the rights holder wanting their cut. The Wagenhof models are fantastic, and were highly prized when they came out. If you look over some of the German/Dutch tractor forums there was a huge buzz when these models were first shown, which obviously CNH got wind of. Hence the reason I think Schuco produced an official 1455. Economies of scale predict that a Case 1455 should appear some time soon from Schuco (fingers crossed, cant bring myself to have the Wagenhof models weathered). I am sure if DBP Models was able to produce his top quality Massey models in volume, AGCO would be knocking on his door too wanting a slice of the pie....
