Schuco MHI Kaelble+Culemeyer 1:87

The Swabian company Kaelble is rightly considered one of the oldest construction machinery manufacturers in the world today. Founded in 1884 by Gottfried Kälble as a mechanical workshop, the spelling was changed to Kaelble early on for better readability for international customers. When the German Reichsbahn began in 1933 to deliver freight cars with road rollers to customers without rail connections, Kaelble became the house supplier of the required tractors. As a result, some of the Kaelble KDV 632 models produced until 1971 were still in use until 1987, when the Deutsche Bundesbahn finally discontinued road roller operations.
