London Single Decker Bus. Restoration of Dinky Toys model no. 283.

- The Dinky Toys model from 1974 was very complicated in terms of housing. The company made it in an unusual scale of 1:64. It had a manual mechanism for opening the door inwards, located under the roof. The previous owner painted the interior of the model with paint and this caused additional work for me, because removing it and returning it to the original blue plastic was not easy at all. I also managed to return to the original stickers that were mounted on these London buses. As usual, at the end of the video I made the box in which this model was sold. Thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity in the video.

Nice job! And much respect to you for not putting fake dirt, rust and corrosion on bus before working on it like 99% of other restoration channels do!
Thank you very much
Piękny czerwony londyński autobus, ze wszystkimi detalami. Niczego mu nie brakuje.👏
Dziękuję serdecznie
Hi Paul.
What a beautiful restoration on such a lovely bus. The doors are delightful
and I'm sure many little boys loved that feature.
Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely mix of models with us.
Thank you very much
Maestro! A really interesting restoration. The door opening mechanism was very brilliantly designed, and adds so much to the model. I had never seen this model before! Kudos, Pawel!❤❤
Another excellent restoration. I really like model buses because I've had some since I was a child but unfortunately my mother gave them away. Now here in Brazil they are making perfect replicas of the old Brazilian models that I am buying via China. When I went to London 9 years ago I bought some Corgis at Hamleys. Congratulations on the work!
Thank you very much
Znakomite prace restauratorskie na pięknym modelu, który widzę po raz pierwszy, gratulacje!!
This one was a lot of work, maybe because it was a big bus?
Looks better than new! Thank you Paul 👍💪✌
Ingenious Dinky. Love the bell. Super job, looks gorgeous. "Ding, ding!" 👍
Thank you very much
I had this in 1971 as a kid of 9 or 10. I loved the doors opening and the bell.
cool
Another beautiful rescue it looks great it's coach it's ready to resume service thanks to your talent good luck 🙏👍
Thank you very much
Un altro splendido restauro del Nostro Paul !
Molto bello e dettagliato questo autobus: la Dinky Toys costruiva modelli molto ben concepiti e costruiti.
Complimenti ancora una volta !
Grazie mile Pirata
This model was also available as a Dinky kit, so it may well have been painted by hand from the beginning, and the glass inserted whilst still wet... I remember doing one as a kid. The doors were VERY difficult to seat: you did well getting them in only 15 minutes! Nice result! Looks terrific.
Thank you very much, Martin. as the models are restored, Dinky finds more and more information about the models in the foldable mold. I didn't know this at all before. Kind regards
Piękny i solidny.
Dziękuję bardzo
Nací en 1958, estos eran unos de los juguetes que todos deseábamos cuando era un niño. En mi país eran caros, y pocos chicos los tenían, así que eran objeto de envidia. En verdad, hubiesen durado poco en nuestras manos, pero nos fascinaban esos modelos y los más grandes, más todavía, puesto que eran más escasos y costosos. Viéndolo desde mi edad actual, pienso que este modelo resistió muchas manos, algunas restauraciones y llegó en buen estado en que estaba al inicio de la renovación, sobre todo los mecanismos de las puertas y campana. Alguien lo quiso, al menos a su modo.
El trabajo, como siempre, fue cuidadoso y muy prolijo, y el modelo recuperó su belleza inicial y volvió a ser testimonio de una época. Felicitaciones, y gracias por haber podido revivir esos sentimientos de un niño hace más de 50 años atrás.
Muchas gracias y me alegro de haber despertado tus recuerdos.
Another fabulous restoration, Paul. Like yourself and many others have found when reassembling the doors are a problem, but there is a very simple trick to the doors. I came across it by pure luck. I have 7 or 8 of them to do. I recently received the reproduction doors I was missing. From cliffords. I hope to do my fleet later in 2024. I have window units to make as well as window units and the interior seating. So I've got my work cut out for me. It is one of my favourite models. Cheers Michael
What is the trick to seat the doors?
Hi. What is the trick to seat the doors back in properly? Thanks
@@TheMasterNo6 I can imagine it might involve adhesive tape. Place the doors in their roof holes, fix them temporarily in place with adhesive tape on the outside, this will make them far more stable while aligning the baseplate..
I had one and played with it for hours. I loved the double opening doors.
cool
Nice restoration, details and paint job!!
Thank you very much
Esse ônibus ficou lindão! Parabéns Paul. 👏👏👏👍
ganz genau
Wow ,what a transformation,
Another one saved 😁
Thank you very much
The before / after is really really impressive 🚌🤩👍
Thank you very much
That looked like a pretty complicated model, great job as always Paul 👍👍
Thank you very much
The finished product is superb.
Thank you very much
A lot of work involved in this one, Paul. Nice job as always.
Thank you very much
Beautiful! Really nice finish, great video and fun to watch 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Thank you very much
🇧🇷👏👏👏Inclivemete impessonade dimais curtir fantángo Topsima beautiful Love bus ❤❤❤❤🎉
Fantastic work, Paul. Superb job 👍🏻
Thank you very much
My boxed model was wrapped in tissue paper the others are in the clear plastic display type boxes. A mint resto, well done👍
It s a beautiful bus. Amazing job Paul.
Klasse Restaurierung - wieder mal perfekt gelungen. Das Modell kannte ich auch noch gar nicht und mit den vielen Funktionen ein echtes Highlight
Vielen Dank
Youre right, the doors are very difficult to seat properly. I took one apart to my regret and never cpuld get all the doors back in properly. I ended up selling it years ago. I have 2 others which were very nicely custom painted in different local liveries with advertising details I bought a long time ago that I decided to keep as is. I wonder how the women in the Binns Road Meccano Dinky Factory managed to seat all the doors in these as they would have been working very fast. Its a lovely old model though.
It seems to me that these women definitely deserved an award for their dexterity during assembly, their advantage was certainly smaller fingers that made it easier to set up these small elements
Wonderful work Paul. It's time to "catch the bus"...
Thank you very much
Yet another fantastic restoration. The only thing I would do different is to paint the windscreen wipers black instead of of leaving them clear. I love the playability of the doors and bell.
Real restoration work, very nicely done. Congratulations! That is a beautiful model. Y gracias por los subitulos en Castellano y por compartir el video.
Thank you very much
Fantastic work on that bus Paul.....nice..........❤
Thank you very much Brian
Nach solch einer exzellenten Restaurierung kann der Londoner Einzeldeckerbus problemlos wieder in den Verkehr gebracht werden.
Ein feines Modell, erstrebenswert für jeden Sammler. Gruß, Joachim
Po tak doskonałej renowacji londyński piętrowy autobus można z łatwością przywrócić do użytku.
Piękny model, pożądany dla każdego kolekcjonera. Pozdrawiam, Joachim
Vielen Dank Joachim
珍しいバスのミニカーですね 日本にも Nケージに合わせた 面白いバスミニカー発売されています 見事に修復成功ですね
どうもありがとうございます
Awesome job, as always, Paul. Especially as you had to undo someone else's bad work. 👏👏👏
Thank you very much
Not in to busses but so admire your work I had to watch it. Really good work..I'd have no patience for those doors! WELL DONE!
Thank you very much
Красивый автобус. Спасибо, вам за ваш труд и за интересный ролик.
Большое спасибо
Po raz kolejny świetna i misterna renowacja.
Nie znałam modelu, ale autobus wyszedł super 🤩
Muszę szczerze przyznać, że tym razem moją osobistą atrakcją jest ponowna instalacja mechanizmu drzwi.
(Prawdopodobnie zajęłoby mi to ponad godzinę 😉)
Paul, jestem zachwycony, zdecydowanie trzymam kciuki 👍🏼 👍🏼
Dziękuję za udostępnienie 🙏🏼 i tak trzymaj przyjacielu 😉
Życzę miłego tygodnia Tobie i Twojej rodzinie, bądźcie zdrowi i pogodni.
Pozdrowienia od odlewanego ciśnieniowo szalonego Paula z Morza Północnego.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Once again a great and elaborate resto.
I didn't know the model but the bus turned out great 🤩
I have to honestly admit that my personal highlight this time is reinstalling of the door mechanism.
(It probably would have taken, for me, an hour or more😉)
Paul, I'm thrilled, definitely both thumbs up for it 👍🏼 👍🏼
Thanks a lot for sharing 🙏🏼 and keep it up, mate 😉
Have a nice week to you and your family and stay safe and sound.
Greetings from the die-cast crazy Paul at the North Sea shore.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Wiedermal eine großartige und aufwendige Restaurierung.
Das Modell war mir nicht bekannt aber der Bus ist großartig geworden 🤩
Ich muss ehrlich zugeben, diesmal ist mein persönliches Highlight, der Wiedereinbau der Türmechanik.
(Ich hätte, wahrscheinlich, über eine Stunde dazu gebraucht 😉)
Paul, ich bin begeistert, ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 👍🏼
Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼 und mach weiter so, mein Freund 😉
Dir und Deiner Familie noch eine schöne Woche und bleibt gesund und munter.
Gruß vom Die-cast-verrückten Paul an der Nordsee.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Vielen Dank Paul
Hello Paul, brilliant video,two screws on the bottom and the base is off.cant believe it's got a bell like a real bus😮.
Thank you very much
Awesome diecast restoration Paul and video too, I've been sharing your video to collector friends of my take care!
Thank you very much
Outstanding restoration looks stunning the doors for me were the fiddly part . Looks really smart. All the best Martin
This bus is back in service!
Интересное решение, нигде не видел такой механики открывания дверей у моделек🧐🙂
Большое спасибо
1971 London Transport AEC Swift
Awesome work brother 🔥
Thank you very much
great video!
Hello Paul. Nice seeing you. I didn't know this was a bus from Dinky. I love their models (as well as Corgi). I only know the buses from London (the red ones with double deck).
Just beautiful 😎🥐☕💯👏
Thank you very much Jan
Que Maravilha Essa Restauração Heim !!!!!
Mais um ótimo trabalho
Bravo, 👏 another restoration more beautiful than the original. Also I loved your Saturday camper van one too 😊
Thank you very much
Greetings from 🇨🇱 Chile
Thank you very much
Stupendo 😻♻️
Restauro Magnifico ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 😻😹 💪💪💪🫶 Grazie
Grazie mile
Outstanding finish for the iconic red buses of London Transport. Just one question why dont you put the decals on first before applying the varnish? That way they are protected.
Thank you very much Chris
Hearing Petula Clark singing 'Downtown' so we can all take the bus to go ...downtown.
The glass might have benefitted from a dip in Humbrol Clear gloss to make it look less like plastic. Its what i use on my aircraft canopies and works well.
Bonjour Paul malgré quelques difficultés belle réalisation 👍
merci beaucoup
Figata 😻
What a great job. Looks fantastic!
Another magnificent job!
Thank you very much
Hola Paul como siempre buena restauración me hace acordar a mi días de pibe había un bazar con una vitrina o exibidor redondo y había este bus y un camión con un bote eran carisimos $ para mi madre y eran Mayorette creo bueno saludos maestro de mi parte para ti
Muchas gracias Amigo
Hi Paul, this model dates from 1971 , not 74 .Great video as always.
Thank you very much
To “hold” a moving or fixed part, you can use mechanical grease at the junction, for example for doors, you apply it to the pivots, so the doors hold “well” in place! ...
Fajny autobusik super wykonanie 😊 pozdrawiam serdecznie i życzę miłego tygodnia oczywiście łapki w górę 😊
Dziękuję bardzo
You can also remove vacuum metallised chrome from plastic with cooled down caustic soda solution.
I always wanted this model as a kid, but surprisingly, for a Dinky Toy in the UK, they weren't very common. I only managed to get one about ten years ago. It's a good thing I'm patient. 😆😆😆
Thank you very much
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👍😎🇺🇿
Bonjour Paul moi qui suis collectionneur d'autobus et d'autocars et qui a une chaîne youtube je l'aime trop super boulot ❤
merci beaucoup

Thank you very much
Замечательный автобус! Спасибо!
Большое спасибо
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Kompliment 👍👍👍
Great job. 👍
Thank you very much
That's a fairly butchered paint job to tidy up. I had one of these as a kid, but it got lost. I loved the working doors and ringing bell. Now I have 3 boxed ones, though I'm missing the original transfer sheets. Mine have rivets instead of screws so you are lucky. I always wanted a northern bus like a Leyland National or Bristol Re of this quality as I never saw London buses until long after these had retired. Excellent job you've done. You're definitely not shy about wasting paint 😂. Some even went on the bus. Was that clear lacquer after the red ? The wheel moulds are genius 👍🥇
Thank you very much, I always harden the base paint with a colorless acrylic varnish with a hardener
Kolejna bardzo dobra robota 👏😉
I love the 🍒 red just like it should be beautiful finish thanks Paul can I have one god bless you and your family and the cat
Thank you very much
👍👍👍👍👍❣
Thank you very much
These models like that bus was a bit expensive back then, but not as much as now... I would need to take photos of the model, specially from the opening mecanism inside. Time consumming and need of attention.
Ottimo lavoro ❤❤❤
Grazie mile
Wow, what an amazing job. And the mechanism for opening the doors, unbelivable. I noticed it had a bell, does it ring?
Thank you very much. Yes, of course he calls
Your most impressive one yet.
Thank you very much
I know that they have one deck buses which went for the outskirts of london. The double deck travelled around central London.
🤚👍
Thank you very much
Encore une superbe restauration
Thank you very much
Обожаю британские автобусы и кэбы, у них свой шарм, работа как всегда высший класс, только не понимаю, почему они дворники на модели не выделили?
Большое спасибо
Lo d'encaixar les portes em sembla un miracle¡¡¡¡¡😂
Super 👍 👍👍
Hallo Paul
👍👍👍👍👍🇩🇪🤗

Thank you very much
In 1974, it must have been an expensive toy... a new model like that would be around 60 to 100 euro (depends on the brand but I'm thinking of SIKU for example because they have buses).
Auf Deutsch: Eindeckerbus 🙂
Vielen Dank
Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I traveled on a number of these buses when I lived in England as a teen. One question: wasn't there a choice for this model--"ready to run" or "build it yourself"?
Thank you very much
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🤗👍😍🤩😊
Where did you get the white backed transfers, i could do with a couple of sets ?
I can buy the transfers themselves without any problems online on auction sites
Waooo impresionante los dejas voló nuevos te felicito 👏🏻 amigo 😊
Muchas gracias Amigo
schon mal darüber nach gedacht dich beim Miniatur Wunderland in HH zu bewerben? Da kannst du mit deinem Hobby sogar Geld verdienen
Das ist ein ziemlich interessanter Vorschlag, über den ich noch nie nachgedacht habe. Vielen Dank
Hi, sorry what product do you use to remove paint from cars
This its caustic soda
