MATCHBOX Restoration Major Pack No.6a Scammell 6x6 Tractor 1960
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- This massive unit could transport 200 tons! To support the weight the trailer has twelve wheels and to do the pulling the tractor is a six wheel drive design! This model was quite a challenge as the towing lugs on the front part of the trailer were broken off and had to be repaired. The colour was also a little odd as these models came out in various shades of red and blue.
I wish I could see one on the road, what a magnificent sight it would be.

Hy Marty, these are the horizontal guide rollers and the pulley on the left of the rear winch.
With this restoration you have once again outdone yourself.
Another work of art marty
When this vehicle was boxed, the tractor sat on the trailer. If they put the tractor in front it would have been really long, and therefore the box would be too long. So when you see this in the original box the paint on the trailer will be chipped where the truck sat. This was caused by the truck moving back and fourth. Even though it moved just a tiny bit, it was enough to chip the paint. Great job as usual.
Jesus William, you legend. What a great memory you have. You "reactivated" my brain. Yes, I now recall as a kid the chipped paint on the trailer after it was taken out of the box.
It was also in a box set, the trailer was in a long bottom slot and the tractor in a separate slot above it. The set also had a construction shovel, a BP Tanker and a two piece Tractor-trailor.
@@timfaracy754 Great work Tim, I recall seeing the boxed set I think in a catalogue in an antique type shop in Greenwich in England. I should have bought that bloody catalogue too!! Oh well.
Great information.

Although I am new to model restoration, I have history with full size vehicle body repair. A good job does require fiddling around a bit, taking patience. But the final result is worth it as you masterfully show. Thank you.
Great video with heaps of restoring information. Thanks for showing the drill press and nail punches. Great idea.
Good job Marty. Yes the Soda Blaster is the way to go. I use it in restoring model plane engines which are aluminum casting. Brings them up like new.
A Great Sunday afternoon's enjoyment of a new Video and Model. Thank you, Mr. Marty
I must thank you. Watching your video finally I mustered the techniques to correctly use the decals!
And Thank you Marty, for restoration of one of my donationed models.😀
Hey, Henry , sorry it took so long! - Thanks for supporting me and my channel. As I said, "Without you this video would not exist". A thousand thanks. :)
Hi, James. What a surprise to hear your name on Marty's channel. Small world...
Well done.
Sit here in my kitchen by coffee white bread and enjoy your video.Great.😉🥁🥁
Nice work... Marty would organize an Matchbox museum... It would be very funny to visit.
Very interesting video, very nice work.
As far as the fan goes, when I used to paint in the garage I would tape a house air filter to the back of a box fan. You don't need that much air but they make small desk type box fans that you could put a disposable filter on. 👍👍
Great tip!
I think that the features moulded on the rear of the prime mover, are meant to be winch rollers. I have the orange coloured large version of this, and that's what they resemble.
An excellent restoration of a really cool toy. Thank you!
It's not the quantity of videos you release but the quality of them, I really enjoy watching and learning new things.
🍺 cheers....!
Yet another makeover of yesteryear. Really nice job I remember seeing these heavy lorries on the road, as regards to to the rear end of the truck the rollers were for winching loads onto the the trailer, the cable was hidden in the big box on the back.
Marty,
To save tape that is not sticky anymore, try putting the roll in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Typically, it will revive the stickiness and make the tape useable again. Great job on the restoration.
Great job Marty! That dark red paint looks superb. That’ll look great in your display
Brilliant work and craftsmanship! I was looking to restore a vintage Tootsietoy 1956 Pontiac Safari wagon to match my project car and found you by chance. Your tips and examples gave me the confidence to dive right in!
This was my favorite Matchbox as a kid. My drawbar went missing. I used a paper clip to fix it back then. It still looks good today! Love your videos! I am retired now and I am going to try restoring them some day soon. You've inspired me. Thanks!
This model would be the kind of transporter that would transport antique steam engines like the green engine you restored.
liked this restorations I remember having one of these new as a child. Mine had two tractors one pulling and the other pushing. great finish well done
Nice Job ! Its a fantastic casting and looks like new . Nice to see on a rainy day .
Great work Marty. This model celebrates my 60th year.

Another amazing job Marty ❤🇨🇦🙂
I had this model it was my pride and joy, my only complaint with the Matchbox range was all the different scales, super job
You really were able to show your skills off with this one Marty.
Great restoration 👍 top class
Many thanks
Absolutely brilliant, great job .I so happy that you restore to original. I also only restore Matchbox. No customs . Your tutorials are get.
You aren’t alone Marty, I’ve stuffed up a couple of waterslide decals and then had to wait and age for a replacement to arrive. Talk about falling at the last hurdle!
Beautiful restoration on this one Marty wow like it just came out of the box job well done
Yet another great restoration
thank you detail video
Hi Marty. From rubbish back to life, Looks fantastic, take your time and get it right, All the Best Brian 🤗
Part of the time consumption within your hobby surely comes from setting up the camera and filming the scenes of you, executing the different steps of the process of restoring the models. A work we are very happy with, as it is so well done Marty.
Looks great Marty, excellent work! I am glad that you are still with us and thank you for posting this.
Nice reconstruction
Another model rejuvenated from scrap nice one marty
Marty, I think this model looks fantastic. This one was a lot of work, but You made it look easy.
Thanks for the video. Great result.
Great job. Nice toy. Cool video👍
Another fun makeover Marty. Keep them coming.
"i'm happy with that!" ..as well as i'm happy watching marty restore one of these! ..good stuff.
Very nice, a handsome piece to say the most. Pretty sure it's for transporting heavy machinery or even locomotives or traction engines. The lowloader is definitely dedicated to some purpose as that. I need one for my layout, hopefully one turns up somewhere.
As always, great headline from The Sun. One of the little details I love from your videos!
I've still got my Matchbox Scammell tank transporter but the Centurion is long gone. Nice restoration. 200 tons ... holy heavy duty or what???
Wonderful video cant wait for more
RETURN OF THE KING
Fantastic, you really nailed this one Marty.
Many thanks!
Fairlead Rollers (things on back, not rams) for winch cable - friends dad had an old Scammell, he used to pull tree stumps with the winch - regards Andy
I can imagine that particular set wouldn't have been cheap in the 60s. That would be a big Christmas or Birthday gift. You have done another amazing job on what was a wreck. It's amazing that little truck can pull the huge trailer.
Depending on the load, there would often be other tractor units added, in front and/or behind the trailer.
many years ago when researching methos to apply texture to plastic I was advised when visiting a leading sand blasting manufacturer in Slough to use walnut shells to remove paint without damaging the metal .
Awesome work as always.
But this set came out perfect 👌.
WOW 😳. Mike Espo .
Always do a great job, but this was a large stretch, beautiful !
Marty, this was a brilliant resto. The idea of prying off the bogies, the draw arm, the final look - amazing!
Thank you so much 😀
My dad was Pickfords driver many years ago Marty. I recall he had a huge can of Pickfords blue in his shed. Shame I couldn't get some over to you! Have asked my neices to visit the Brisbane Tram museum to get some pics of their Scammell....
Nice restoration and paint job 👌
Great video Marty.👍👍
I have one in my collection, sent to us as kids in 1960's by an aunt.
I must get it out of storage box, just moved house, still has its box and in good condition.
I'll check on the colour, I think it is a later version.
👍👍👍👍🙂
Fantastic video, thanks Marty, always great quality. I can remember seeing a full sized Pickfords Scammel combination, they used to have another Scammel unit pushing as well. Most imposing vehicles I've ever seen.
Amazing paint job!
As usual an awesome restoration.Good job done well.
Excellent finished project. You're very talented, finding creative solutions to difficult problems. You give concise explanations as you work. Keep up the good work.😎
Thank you very much!
"I'm 'appy wi' that!"
look a million 💵💵💵 Marty 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 gr8 job
This video is very pleasant to watch on a cold rainy autumn morning in Germany.
Thank you for sharing the images of your work. Great work, should like to be able to do just half of it.
Very very nice job a fantastic product you should be proud of you self 👌👍
Well done, thank you!
Great Job Marty ! Congratulations !
Good job. Might try using a small soldering iron instead of the torch. I find it more user friendly. Blasting anything that small and soft material will always remove some of those small details like grill. Love watching your videos each Sunday morning with my coffee. Have a good day Marty.
Nice job Marty!
Thank you! Cheers!
Another great tape😁😁 sorry for the pun.a good restoration and we'll done with the colour match 👍👍
May this piece stay in your cabinet "with" you Marty, for as long as it does because you're a great storytelling pa and grandpa to a lot many of us.
I'm watching your work from Uruguay. I just love to see the things you do. Thanks for sharing.
Nicely Done.
It turned out really fantastic 👍👍😊
Outstanding video and presintation. From California USA.
Another brilliant TH-cam post thank you Marty, can you make a post of your model cabinet with your completed masterpieces in
The two 'Hydraulic Rams' are in fact guide rollers for the winch cable.A great number of Scammells all had a winch fitted at the rear.
Brilliant work.
Great project! I love it!
Thank you! Cheers!
The repair job was excellent along with the tow hook. Your tall display case reminds me of going to the store and seeing all the matchbox’s displayed. Great job again Marty
Looks awesome ! Thankyou.
awesome job love your restos. nice soldering
The little details on the rear of the tractor represent part of a winch.
Guide rollers for the cable - sometimes you have to winch broken-down equipment onto the trailer.
Another first class job
Awesome job Marty.
Nice job soldering and reclaiming center with the drill.
That turned out so beautiful. You made my week.
Marty the things on the back of the tractor unit are winch rollers ,just to the left of the rollers is the winch cable drum ,iam doing the matchbox king size version
Great job, I enjoy watching your video. Thank you.
Thanks a lot, very nice as always!
It's the glass beads in the sandblaster that is causing the pitting.
Back in the 70's and 80's Cadillac used that very technique to achieve a pitted finish on the face of their outside rear view mirrors.
the tractor is a Scammell conctructor , which was a 6 wheel drive, 125 ton unit, the 'rams on the back are fairlead rollers for the 100 ton winch , which was mainly used for side loading the trailer, nice restoration job by the way.
I would recommend a finer blasting medium to avoid the pitting. The aluminum medium seems to be gentle on the softer metals.
For the soldering, I recommend an adjustable heat electrical soldering iron with a fine tip.
Awesome job my friend..
Thank you! Cheers!
@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers I am so glad I found your channel.. I too am a matchbox collector.. I really enjoy watching your videos.. Do you have any photos of your collection.. Thanks.. Benny..
I'm more into HO scale model trains but I still like to see old toys restored. Years ago, when I was a young kid I did have a collection of Matchbox toys, though I lost them when my parents moved to a new place.
Another suggestion for you is to do a Makeover of two of the same model. Strip one with chemical stripper and the other sandblast. Finish as usual and see if you/we can tell a difference.
Wow you always do such and amazing job. I really enjoy watching you work on these match box cars and trucks
It's immensely satisfying watching these videos, I can only imagine the feeling of actually doing it.
It's been so long since I've seen your video recommendations or notifications. TH-cam is so bad at taking care of communities. It's been such a stressful week for me and this is just the video I need. Stay blessed and thank you for sharing another fantastic happy video! 🙏
Using the side of a bench grinder wheel is perfectly fine so long as you use very little pressure and stay out of the line of rotation. I enjoy your videos Marty! Thanks for sharing!
I wanted to tell you about nutshells. But you knew about it already.
I think it does a very good job, removing paint, and being gentle with the metal.
