MATCHBOX Restoration Yesteryear Y11 Aveling Porter Steam Roller 1958

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ม.ค. 2020
- This little model of a steam roller had definitely seen better days. It was 62 years old and had lost some of its parts at sometime in its life. I could see the potential in this little masterpiece of diecast metal. With a new paint job and some 3D printed parts this model has become a thing of beauty once again. I hope you enjoy this video, it is my first makeover for the year.

Prayers for all of Australia's Fire Fighters and Citizens.... May the lord keep you and your loved ones safe...! Kudos Marty .... the Steam-Roller Make-Over is a Thumbs-Up... A+.... Make-Over...!
I am relieved that you are not in danger of wild fires. As soon as I heard the terrible issues that were happening in Australia, I immediately thought of you and your family. Stay safe!!
You go from strength to strength. What a beautiful old casting. Nice work. Great memories.
Wonderful restoration Marty, I loved the little demo of the old steam roller and you enthusiasm. It is very obvious that you love what you are doing. I can sit and watch your videos all day long. Thanks for your entertainment.
This was such a fantastic memory jogger, we lived in a coucil estate and they used one of these REAL SIZE rollers to mend the roads uptil the late eighties, it was a great site to see, I think the local steam enthusists still have it in their collection, thanks Marty...
I very much agree with your comments about the firefighters. Walking out of the house in Wyndham Vale into a smoke-filled atmosphere is frightening even though we know how far the actual fires. Firies, career or volunteer, are real heroes.
I have to say, the old steam engine was a joy to see, what a toy!!! Loved the restoration of the steam roller, it was beautiful.
I was looking for an excuse to show off that relic from my childhood. It was fun!
OMG - you have just transported me back 50 years to that Christmas I got my Mamod. I can almost still smell that evocative mixture of oil, raw meths and burnt meths smoke and steam. And I can almost still feel the burnt and scalded fingers. Ahhh, happy days. Thanks Marty.
You are welcome Bazza, it's all part of the service! Ha! Ha! , Marty.
Thanks for the mamod Marty bought back so many childhood memories , unfortunately I gave mine away to young lad nextdoor when I emigrated to new Zealand 37 year ago , like you I'm surprised I didn't burn the house down when showing it off to my mates , cheers Marty thanks again , look forward to more childhood memories this year 🇳🇿👍👍
Absolutely awesome Steam toy , Marty !!!!!!!!!! Thanks for showing it, Sir !!!!!!!!
Stay safe and thank you for the update. Love your videos. My best wishes to you and your family... And Kevin.
Marty, I am so glad that you are safe from the wildfires. It's good news to hear that your family and your friends are all safe as well. That road roller turned out pretty awesome. A lot of Ingenuity and talent going into it to make the missing parts. Not many people have pieces left of their childhood that still work. Be safe my friend.
My dad has a later model steam engine complete with working steering column. As kids we were warned very strictly not to just handle it as obviously we would have burned ourselves when it has a full head of steam. This was a lovely trip down memory lane.
Hi Marty, I’ve just unearthed a load of my matchbox toys because of your channel. I’ve just made myself one of your brilliant axle rivet tools. Thankyou for the inspiration, going to bring them all back to life thanks to you, great tips.
Marty, you do some wonderful restoration work on these little toys. I had that steamroller when I was a child, well over 50 years ago and am amazed at the TLC you give these models. I only wish I still had all my Matchbox and Dinky toys now, but alas, they are gone for good. Love watching your videos and wish you well.
I am glad that at this point you and your family are safe from the fires.
Marty this is without doubt my favourite video that youve made. Technically it's brilliant and your love of the casting really shows. The demonnstration of your old steam roller is the cherry on top. Thanks again.
Great description of the Mamod Marty. Brought back memories of my childhood in the early 50s in the UK. Never owned one as a kid but recently I built an MSS loco kit here in Oz. I can afford these things now but they wouldn't get past the wife. She knows I'm well into my second childhood....
What a beautiful machine and what a beautiful result, Thanks for the inspiration and the great video!
Measure once, cut twice, hammer till it fits, that's my motto
Glad to hear that you and your family are safe. Prayers for your countrymen affected by the fires. Great to see you back on the job!
Though I'm not Australian, my pride and prayers go out to all Australians and the threatened wildlife. Glad you and Julie are safe!
the bush fires are on the news in the UK, i'm glad to hear that you're ok where you are. Australia has the world's support. mother nature needs to move that rain cloud to Australia to help the firefighters. i found it touching to see locals rescuing the wildlife on Facebook videos.
Cool little Matchbox model. But that big Mahmod is just wonderful! I found some modern small steam engines, but nothing as totally cool as this! So great you still have it, and in full working order.
Good trick with the flywheel washer.
I think it would be fitting to do a firetruck series and setting up a charity auction. Thankfully you're not directly affected in these tragic times. I also hope your extended family is ok as well. See a fireman, or woman, give a hug from me.
Thanks for demonstrating the steam engine.
Marty, you and your family stay safe down there🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Rosemary, we are fortunately quite safe where we live
I'm sure you had a fire extinguisher on hand playing with the steam roller as a child!
Yet another SUPER job on the old steam traction roller. You should be "happy with that". Really enjoyed the old steam toy from your childhood. I
am always amazed at how well old toys seem to work. Better craftsmanship is all I can say. Thank You for sharing.
Marty, I'm so glad that you and your family are safe. I don't know why that you ask and send everything they got out there to help. Hope to fires die down soon. My prayers are with Australia. Steamroller came out fantastic. Great job. Thank you.
Brought a tear to the eye. I had that exact mammod engine as a child, and lost it in a storage disaster at my parents. Great to see it in action again.
Great job Marty, and the steamroller from your youth is a real gem. Stay safe and best wishes.
Thanks Dr! - I'm glad that most people agree that the Mamod steam engine was a welcome inclusion!
Marty may Australia will be blessed . Take care and God bless you and your country!
Bloody addictive, your videos. That’s five on the trot. Must go to bed.
Superb work on the Matchbox as usual - and what an awesome live steam toy too. In my youth (more years ago than I want to admit to), if your toys didn't burn you, cut you, or shock you then you weren't having any fun.
Good to hear you and your family are safe. Prayers to the firefighters and those unfortunates who have lost so much.
I was happy with that!
Absolutly great work. Thank you.
MONSTER RATS THE SIZE OF COWS - Exclusive 😵😵👍🤣😆😂😆🤣🤭👍🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
What a gorgeous little thing. Excellent job as always
Green and gold were my high school colors! They always seem to go well together, and on this steam roller, the gold makes it. I also like your choice to use the black. I think that also added a little extra interest.
Turned out very good. Yesterday, my mate came up and brought me a Mamod TE1 to repaint for him so he can put it on a shelf. It was the original one with the forward only and the stop go lever at the front all brass, and the iold type whistle with the small brass lever that burnt your fingers when moving the levers as they were very hot. I restored and modded a few of these traction engines, the SR1 and a few stationary engines with the toys / saws and hammer that run off them. That was a few years ago now. I even turned a TE1A into a crane model. Made a low loader trailer for a TE1 or the steam roller, a water bowser and a workmans Vardo to tow behind. All I restored and modded were all runners too.
You just fill it up, until it starts dribbling out the back.
Outrageous sir...... love it...!!!!!
Thanks Dave!
Glad to hear you and your family are safe Marty, it's been very sad to see the human tragedy and also for all the many, many animals that have died in the fire. The bravery of the firefighters is clear for the world to see.
Too true Gary! - The 'fireys' so often put themselves in peril for the greater good!
Love your work and the classic toy
Stunning job Marty. Was great to see that steam model too. A thing of beauty.
My Dad has a steam engine like your steam roller. It was such fun when he brought it out when we were kids :)
Glad you and your family are all ok. Greatly loved the steam engine part.
Fantastic' ...and superb Mamod demo' thanks Marty'
Glad to see you back in action. Happy to hear y'all are safe from the fires.
Wow, beautiful beautiful job Marty x
"2020 will be the best year ever" is the most tragic thing I've head on the presence of hindsight
Nice bit of nostalgia. The roller looks mint. Thanks for the video.
Hello Marty, first of all my thoughts and prayers for you and your family and all the poor people and animals suffering from these fires. Great restoration once again
Marty, your little steam engine brought back some fond memories of my childhood. I had a working steam engine back in the 70s. It was made to look like a little boiler with a smoke stack and it ran on little, white pellets, similar to those candy sticks you lick and dip into a flavored sugar.
An amazing model, such fine detail.
Brilliant, Marty! A great episode.
Beautiful, Marty! Loved it.
Your Mamod steam engine is absolutely awesome!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!!!
One of your best Marty, happens to be very lifelike the way you attended to the silver edges on the wheels. I was hoping you would do that....
Man I would have loved one of those as a kid👌🏾😸
that is crazy that kids could play with a steam engine. that thing was awesome. thanks for sharing.
Happy you and yours are safe.
My heart goes out to those affected. ✌
I enjoyed watching this resto as I have quite few of these rollers including a full size one of these.
My Full size version th-cam.com/video/CVf04xk-r3A/w-d-xo.html
Mart, I'm 53 now and came from a poor council family. I always wanted one, and now I'm gonna get one. Thanks for the memory kick. 💥
Do it if you can. I found one with a canopy for a tenner or so plus costs. Go for it. You're never too old to be a kid.
Choo choo :)
Both models are gorgeous Marty, both the restoration and you childhood toy.
I'm glad you are safe from the wildfires.
That functioning steamrollor! Amazing. And a superb job on the restoration!
Marty thanks for showing us your toy. Now I wish I had one of those.
Looking forward to this years batch of Matchbox Makeover's, Marty.
Beautiful! Two great steam engines! Thanks. Loved the live chat the other day. See ya.
Really enjoyable video. Great to see an old Mamod fire up again. I never had one as a kid, but a mate down the road did. We had loads of fun with it. And yes, we did stuff as kids that Health and Safety would have a fit at nowadays. The best times to be a kid back in the 60s and 70s I think 😁😁😁😁😁
Lovely makeover of the old steam roller great detailing and it has been saved for the future.I also have a Mamod steam engine in the loft and i will have to get it down and give it a run..thanks for sharing and along with other followers keep safe from the fires ...await next model makeover clip .....
What an excellent job, lovely. 😍😍
loved this makeover Marty and thank you for sharing with us, our steam roller. I can remember seeing these actually working in real life, not toys. After Steam rollers were decommissioned and petrol powered rollers were used, it took me decades to STOP calling them 'Steam rollers' LOL
I think people still call them steam rollers, I know I do! :)
Simply amazing work. Stay safe out there in Australia.
Marty - Thomas Aveling built his first steam roller about 12-15 mins walk from where I live! Aveling Porter was started in Rochester, Kent in the UK while Charles Dickens was still alive and living just 3 miles up the road. Nice to see a makeover of this. Excellent viewing as always.
Beautiful restoration! Why do three people dislike this?
I'm glad that you are safe. My thoughts are with you and Australia. Great to see you back! Happy New Year!
Excellent as usual Marty, love the gold details. Glad you're all safe down there.
Out of all the lesney ones you have done that is, in my opinion, the best. What an awesome model. The Mamod engine is very sweet too. I love the personal touches to it, like the handle your father made.
Love your patience and accuracy. And the Sunday Paper's titles nonetheless! 😂❤❤❤
We (California) sent you 2 dozen firefighters to help with this disaster. Stay safe and grow strong Australia.
Glad you are safe. Hope your family continues to be. Nice make over. It is a shame what is happening to all the animals and the people affected by the fires.
Yes Anna the fires are devastating the Australian bush and it natural inhabitants. Some people are blaming it on government policies preventing land owners from clearing trees near properties and not being allowed to do controlled burns of fallen brush etc prior to the bush fire season.
Marty I love what you did to the Steam Roller but even more than that I love your Traction Engine. Brilliant.
What a wonderful way to start the new year!
This is one of the best ones ive seen from you. Definitely top 5
I would have been happy just with those beautiful looking wheels! ....another great video, Sir.
Thank you for sharing you really cool childhood toy.
I'm 45, but here in the Nanny State of Massachusetts, everything fun is forbidden
That steam roller is awesome! Nice video!
Hi Marty. Glad to you that you are not in danger by the fires.
Another great job Marty my brother still has his old roller just like yours he hot it out for the weekend it brought a lot of old memories back so thank you Marty. Stay safe from the Bush fires terrible times you guys got hope it all ends soon
"Measure twice, cut once" was what my late father used to say whenever he was doing a DIY job around the house. Always think of him when I hear it.
My dad too! Miss him so much!
Nice one Marty.
Also I'm glad that you and your family are safe from the fires I been seeing lots in the news I'm also glad that we have our Canadians men and woman helping you guys out!
Glad you and you family are safe from the fires. Been making joey pouches and koala mittens for the injured animals.
Cheers
Superb. It looks great. Fantastic repairs on the missing parts. Always fond of steam traction. They were revolutionary: the horses working days were numbered, when they showed up. Some of the Showman's type Engines had very elaborate lining and pin-striping on them. 8:10 The 2 horizontal pieces on the back of the water tank is the tow hitch. Just 2 metal plates with holes, and a pin was dropped through to hitch a trailer, or farm implement. A Furphy Water Cart would be a good trailer for it. Good on you for the shout out about the Fireys. Haven't seen much smoke here in QLD for a few days now. They must be getting on top of the fires.
I love this model . Thanks Marty for restoration this model and presentation after restoration.
The good ol days when rats weren't the size of cows & Matchbox was making extremely detailed models worthy of Marty's makeover magic!
I loved seeing your steam engine toy. Just great!
What a nice surprise! Merry Christmas to us!
Enjoyed this restoration and a enjoyed the childhood model demo. Thanks You did have fun!
Thanks Marty!
You are welcome., thanks for being a long time subscriber. Cheers!
