- Remember this one from my childhood - a Christmas present from my parents. I was probably 7 or 8 years old at the time. Lovely to own one again. Loved doing this restoration - might do another sometime. Hope you like this one.

Very good job on both the restoration AND the explaining video. I found that ramp in an old box a few days ago, but have no idea where my truck went...... oh well.... unearthed another box of old Dinkey Toys and maybe a few of them could be restored to their original glory. Thank you for sharing.
Nice job! Well done! My 4 year old son and i enjoyed your video.
Looks great well done.
Thanks very much - appreciate it ... David
Beautiful job David , look after yourself `Bob.
Thanks Bob, very much appreciated mate, stay safe ... David

Thanks Thomas - very flattered - I certainly will 😊😊 ... David
Nice job, love your work
Thank you! Cheers! ... David
Very cool. I am restoring my dad's one. But only yet Truck. I'm gonna leave the trailer look worn as if it has been hauling cars.
Good Times
Looks beautiful, I love it ,like new ,can't fail it !!
Thanks again Laz - much appreciated 👍👍
Nice work on bringing this old toy back to its former glory.
Many thanks, much appreciated ... David
I have the same vehicle by Matchbox awaiting restoration.
Great job David. I love your work. Not only this video but also all the work that you've done with trains in the past and let's not forget your watercolor painting...... Very skilled. Looking forward to your next video mate. Thanks
Thanks Juan, much appreciated comments again from a fellow restorer 👍👍👍 ... David
Nice job David.
Thanks Philip, much appreciated ... David
So nice that you rescue models made to last, not to throw in the bin like the rubbish we get from China.
I had this model as a child probably around 1960 I loved it.
Your work is great to watch.
Exceptional work David. The Pullman Transporter 982 a great addition to any collection. Lovely paint job as usual particularly the head lamps and 20 mile an hour sign. Your hands are very steady. Every Bedford truck I've got have got the fractures...Now I know how to remedy the problem.Brilliant video David....STAY SAFE.
Thanks Keith, much appreciated. Yes these old Bedfords do have these weak spots. I have seen them offered broken in two on ebay. Good luck if you are going to repair them ... David
David you have made a comsummate job of the transporter,i had one of these when i was a kid and you have bought it all back to me....dare i say this may be one of your best
restorations to date....thank you for this !
Thanks Paul, much appreciated. Yes, a bit daunting at first but I did enjoy the restoration and I am pleased with the result. Glad it bought back memories ... David
Fantastic restoration on that Pullmore Transporter, David looks great 👍
Thanks again Jerry, much appreciated👍👍 ... David
Another fine restoration David. Always a pleasure to watch your work.
Many thanks again Ian, always a pleasure to receive your comments ... David
Oh thank you David. Turned out really lovely. Please take care and be safe. From South Africa
Thanks Val, for your comment and kind wishes. Whole world needs to take care at the moment - make sure you keep safe ... David
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing through difficult times...
Thanks for that Thomas - I do have more free time at the moment and I have more Dinky Toys to do from my collection ... David
Of all my collection of Dinky, Corgi and Spot-on, my two favouries were this one and the Ecurie Ecosse race car lorry. Wonderful restoration David. Cheers and stay safe, Bob
Thanks again Bob. Stay safe ... David
I had one of these as a child along with many other Dinky and Corgi models. Most of them have long since gone but I still have the transporter. Your video has inspired me restore mine. I just hope I can match your standard.
Hi Les - well done for keeping your Transporter. I am one of the majority who foolishly let all his childhood toys go.
Hope you enjoy your restoration, treat it to a new box and very good luck with it - it should look a million dollars👍👍
... David
really nice job david
Hi Barry, many thanks ... David
Nicely-finished, David. On the baseplate.... I use Briwax (or similar) to preserve patina in certain of my tool restorations - it buffs to a nice shine and protects it 👍🏻 For my modelling, and using clear-backed decals where white is required - I apply Microscale White decal film first (trimmed to shape), allow to dry, then apply the required decal on top of it 👍🏻 Regards....
Hi Armando, thanks for the comments and the baseplate tip - I will certainly try this. Like the tip about the white decal paper too but one thing I am never short of, being an artist, is paint - it produces the same result. I do have some white decal paper too but have not used it yet for my diecasts. 👍👍 ... David
Hi Dave, Great to always watch you doing your restoration work. I have this item, and Ramp still in its box and it’s one of my favourite toys of my time and it is in the same colour as yours. Thumbs Up 👍
Thanks Jamie - appreciate the comment. Lucky you to have a boxed version of this - truly envious 😊😊. One of my favorite toys also. Double thumbs up 👍👍 ... David
Quite an exquisite restoration project...
Hi Thomas, thanks again for your comments. Yes it was (for me at least) - enjoyed it though ... David
Much care and attention has resulted in a new condition model. Thanks for another interesting video.
Thanks Birdie, much appreciated ... David
A wonderful video David and I admire your steady hand for all the fine work.
Many thanks. I do suffer from handshake as I am sure you must have noticed. I have had it since my teens but, being an artist I have learned some tricks to control it when it matters. Appreciate your kind comment 👍👍 ... David
Good job.
Thanks Edward, much appreciated ... David
Beautiful restoration, and very nice attention to detail.
Thank you very much, really appreciate the comment 👍👍 ... David
Nice resto Dave you got the color perfect job well done
Thanks Constantino - appreciate the comment ... David
Beautiful work David,top class as always.
And now you've got me hunting for a Pullmore Transporter.
Thanks Tommy, much appreciated - good hunting 😊😊 ... David
Looks great David....I have one of these but the paintwork is in rather better condition. Looking out for another as restoration project. Have picked up some useful tips...many thanks and stay safe.
Thanks Derrick - I would like to do another some time. Good luck with your search, glad I may have helped ... David
Very nice indeed David, what a fantastic restoration as always my friend 👍
Stay safe 😷
Many thanks, a pleasure to receive your comments - much appreciated ... David
Hello David first class restoration keep well
Thanks Glyn, much appreciated ... David
I saved this for the morning, and was not disappointed. Although to be honest, I expected nothing less than your usual great content :) That is a really nice model, and the sort that is still fun to play with the g-kids. Thanks David!
Thanks US, very nice comments are always truly welcomed. Glad you liked it - nice to here there are some kids who still enjoy the play-value of these old toys. 👍👍 ... David
Amazing project, thanks for sharing!
You're welcome. thanks for the comment ... David
Absolutely super job and I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for showing your transfer techniques and making your own with jpeg files and Photoshop a brilliant idea.
Glad you enjoyed it Malcolm, appreciate your comments 👍👍👍 ... David
That turned out wonderful, great work, keep them coming.
Thanks for the great comment - more time at the moment (obvious reasons) so I am working hard on my railway and Dinky Toys videos ... David
another lovely job David look forwood to your next video
Thanks Bill, really appreciate your comments ... David
Nice job on the small fine details...
Just takes me back
No longer have any cars, they've all gone....just wonder where
Thanks, same here - I wish I had kept some of my old toys 👍👍 ... David
A wonderful finish.
Thanks Tony, much appreciated ... David
A very well detailed casting too!!
please can you put your sound up as ive got no sound on the video thanks .
Good job bro......another stunning restoration.......stay safe....see you soon.
Thanks matey - glad you liked it 👍👍 ... David
That is cool love the way it went back to 2 gather
Thanks Gary for your great comment ... David
A solid casting with good bones..
Yes, a sound model (except for the 'normal' fracture points on the Bedford). The restoration went well - would have liked a better result with the rivets though ... David
Well done David looks great stay safe my friend Brian Thailand
Many thanks Brian - much appreciated ... David
XXX PERFECT JOB XXX WELL DONE !! Robbie U K
20 miles an hour maximum speed.....I bet being stuck behind one of them must have been a bloody nightmare. STAY SAFE EVERYBODY.
😁😁😁👍 ... David
especially if it's full of sports cars... XD
@@tonywise198 I know. I imagine trying to take over a truck on a curved country road must have been a nightmare.
Hi David.
I love your work and thank you for the video, it has been very helpful indeed.
I see that one of the blue colours that you used was "summer sky blue". Can you tell me what the other one was please?
I hope to do a Transporter restoration and want to get the paint colour right.
Also does this come in a spray paint as I cannot use a sprayer.
Many Thanks,
Roger
Thanks Roger, Much appreciated. There was variations in the batches of paint used, particularly in the 1950s so it's arguable what is a 'correct' colour. I check out the colour on mint original examples on the internet. Anyway, the light blue is No.23 Cambridge Blue available from model-supplies.co.uk. I don't think their paints are available in spray cans - you would need to contact them.
@@davidhyde4329 Thanks for the information. Model-supplies are pretty expensive for spray paints. So I'll have to search for an alternative. TTFN
I have one!
Nice restoration
Many thanks, much appreciated comment ... David
maybe where you took the rivets out you could have drilled and tapped the holes then used dome headed screws to assemble fill the heads and touch in at the end. only a suggestion dont know how practical it would be without seeing the components in front off me.
Many thanks for the tip. Drilling and tapping for screws would be possible in the rear rivets as there is space - much less space in the front ones though. I have an earlier version of the transporter - #582 with the 6 rivet trailer (i intend to video this sometime) The available space behind the 'rivet' head is even tighter - so I think I will need to stick with rivets for this also. Thanks anyway ... David
Fantastic restoration ! Love the patina on the bottom plate ! I also got this trailer,but im missing the truck.Maybe i do a custom build some day . I have seen Tekno using this trailer with a Volvo truck, have yuo seen that too ? At least it seems to be the same trailer.Again-very awesome resto !
Many thanks for your great comments. Hope you find a Bedford truck - should not be difficult - Dinky used this truck on a good number of models. No I haven't seen the Volvo version - until your post. Just checked it out on Google - It certainly looks like the Dinky trailer - I would say it is identical - thanks for the heads-up ... David
Another absolute beauty David, quite possibly *better* than new.👌 Did you paint the trailer wheelhubs the wrong blue first?😁 Just out of interest, about how much of that bottle of light blue did you use on the trailer? Every time you showed it getting painted, it looked bigger.
Sadly, once again, poor quality and most likely, overpriced, transfers. These sellers need to up their game; as more and more people start making their own, that little "cash cow" is going to dry up. These ones looked very much like old stock to me.
Great little trick with the white circle; solved that problem.👍
Brilliant work, as usual.
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
Hi Dougie, many thanks for your comments, much appreciated. When I sprayed the trailer light blue I did not mask the wheels or axles. Much later I brush painted the trailer wheels with the darker blue. Finally I used a fine sandpaper cut into strips to clean the paint and rust from the axles. Don't know how much of the light blue I used. The 50ml bottle was new when I used it to paint the Austin Somerset and now this rebuild. I dilute the paint 50-50 with cellulose thinners for airbrushing. If I was to guess I have probably used 12ml in total. The paint is fairly thick and sticks to the sides of the plastic bottle so it never visually reflects the actual usage. I am sure the transfers old stock. I have just purchased another Pullmore (early 582 - which I will video later) - I will be making new transfers from scratch for this 👍👍👍 ... David
@@davidhyde4329 Yep, I think home-made transfers are the way forward. The only drawback is the "white" thing, or lack of it, but there's usually some sort of workaround. I don't think I ever had one of these Dinky transporters; I remember proudly owning the Matchbox Guy transporter in the rather smaller scale. The Dinkys with "tabs " on the base were just slightly before my time. Looking forward to seeing you do the other one.
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
Great job david,p.s. what airbrush do you use and did you clearcoat the whole cab and trailor.
Hi Gerry, apologies for delay. I use a Badger airbrush (Aztec dual action). I use cellulose paint which quick dries with a nice gloss. The clearcoat you may be referring to is the sealing of the decals. For this I use a self-levelling acrylic floor polish made by Johnson's called Klear. When it was discontinued a few years back I bought a stock. You will need to google for the best available substitute for you. I simply apply it with a soft paintbrush over the decal - it dries beautifully with no brush marks - quick too. One coat should be enough to seal and protect the decals. Thanks for the comment.
aah, the famous Pullmore... "To boldly pull more than anyone else!" aka "No die-cast left behind!"
another great work, looks fresh and new again, ready to carry all the other freshly restored diecasts. :) (I know I'd display it like that)
watching you struggle with those rivets gave me an idea:
dremel it flat like you did in the beginning, then put a say we, 1.6mm hole into it, cut a thread, and insert a screw. then pull on the screw to remove the rivet; 2 or 3 turns should be enough to give you enough material to pull on. question is of course, how to pull on the screw; a clockmakers' clockhand removing tool comes to mind, buit I dfon't know if it's sturdy enough. so maybe use two screwdrivers to lever on it.
it's just an idea, I don't know how hard these rivets sit; maybe you have no other way to just drill them out. but I would at least try it on your next Pullmore. :)
I hope I was of help. keep up your awesome works, and thanks for all the videos. :) stay safe!
Hi Lothar, thanks for your comment and tip. I love the Pullmore - in fact I have just bought (what I am hoping) is the rarest 6 rivet version of 582. It looks in very poor condition but would make a wonderful restoration project. That said I will look into your tip as it could prove to be the answer I am looking for..
In the restorations I have done the 'rivet' is not a separate item in the true sense, but a post that is part of the casting. To secure the baseplate this post is flattened into a dome which looks like a rivet. In my Pullman restoration I assumed this would be the case too. Now I have thought about it - how could the body be fixed to the top if the rivets were cast and were sticking out each side ?? - I will check this out - many thanks indeed ... David
@@davidhyde4329 awesome, I love to find rare old versions, too. like the first edition of SIKU's Jaguar E, with the spoked wheels and the glass inserts for headlights, and it was cheap, too. one day I'll restore it.
SIKU had experimented with it with some castings, it seems, and the VW Karmann Ghia was fixed with two hollow stainless-steel "rivets" which are re-usable. I haven't seen any other of their casting made like this, and I wonder what made them not continuing using it. maybe the "rivets" were too expensive?
anyway, at your service. good luck testing it out! :)
Lovely job. Do you plan to populate it with other restored Dinkys?
Thought has crossed my mind davie. It was issued as a gift set with 4 two-tone cars - looks pretty - always a possibility in the future. Thanks for your comments again ... David
👍😉👍
Nice job again David, keep up the good work.
Many thanks , much appreciated comment ... David
Very smart David, and a very interesting video, great camera work.
A question David I have one of these but it's the 6 rivet version with the same colour cab it's not in to bad shape just wondering weather to restore it or not if it's a rare one I would rather leave it as is
Thanks take care and stay safe.
Hi Martin, thanks for the comments, especially from a fellow restorer. Lucky you, a 6 rivet Pullmore is rare and expensive. I would certainly think twice about a repaint. I know it all depends on condition. You say it's not in bad shape - then I think I would leave it alone too.
Stay safe yourself 👍👍 ... David
Thanks David for responding. I will show it in my next video next week I would like your opinion if you don't mind thanks so much
Lovely restoration David..Intrigued to know why you put your castings through a cleaning process before removing their paints?
Hi there. Funny you should ask this because I am beginning to think that it should make no difference given that the next step is to strip off all the paint. I can only think i watched a restoration video in the early days and have thought it should be part of the restoration process. If you are going to do a touch-up restoration then I can see a need for the cleaning stage. I will not be using this stage again - it does seem pointless - Thanks, you have confirmed what I have been thinking 👍👍👍 ... David
David Hyde..Thank's for your reply..You have probably seen video's of restorers who clean their diecasts before stripping, so they can premix the correct paint to match the original factory colours.
Nice
Yes 20 MPH Oh the speed back them. Must have been fun?????????
Sorry for the delay Stephen 😁😁😁 thanks
Looks like the tractor required a bit of metalwork...
Hi David, this is the first of your Dinky restoration videos I have watched, but I follow your railway videos closely. The end result is fantastic, but I am a bit confused , so I hope you don't mind me asking a question. I had always thought that collectors wanted the toys to be in original condition. OK the better the condition the better, but still original condition.You are obviously a collector with a great deal of knowledge. So have I (as well as all the TV programes) just got it wrong?
Hi Tony, no you are totally correct. Of course serious collectors always want the best condition they can afford to buy, and Dinky Toys are no exception. However there are collectors at all levels. My ideal buy is a Dinky in poor condition, the scruffier the better. I have made models all my life. My interest is from a modeller's perspective. To take an undesirable object and transform it into something desirable is the where my enjoyment lies. These were also the toys of my childhood. I don't want to spend large sums of money simply buying something, my enjoyment is in the 'restoration' process itself. There seems to be a worldwide interest in this process luckily so it feeds nicely into my other interest (photography and film making). I also love the research and the history. For me toy trains and cars tick nearly all my boxes - at least those that I can do without leaving the house. Thanks for the question 👍👍👍 ... David
@@davidhyde4329 Cheers David and thank you for the comprehensive reply.
hi david is their any chance you could do a set of decals for me i would be very greatful if you could just tell me price of them and will send money for them regards barry
Hi Barry. Apologies for the late reply on this. I am a bit mindful that this may be against the rules of trading on YT. Also - If I say yes to your request it will make it difficult to say no to any one else who is wants to buy a set. Finally, I scanned these from a set I purchased so there are sure to be copyright issues - again YT would probably act on this. Much as I am tempted, regretfully I don't think I can help in this way, at this time.
A possibility is to make my own decals, sell them on ebay and promote them on YT. I will look into this before I do another Dinky restoration video and check the YT rules 👍👍👍 ... David
If the tracker part had two cracks in it, why not make up small plates to go inside and also glue the loos section to the top of the unit, that would be a better and stronger job. The super glue and powder is ok but you filled it off again to make it flush?
Lovely delicate work.
On my screens and cmompared to my antique model, the colour you chose ( a delightful Cambridge University Blue ) is, however, not close, in my opinion, to the original.
Nice yes...like the prototype...mmm maybe quite different.
Just personal taste of course...
But ..well comment or are a picky lot of..."chaps"!
Hi, many thanks, appreciate you taking the time to comment. Ah, the eternal quest for the 'correct' colour. I have no doubt you are right. I am lead to believe however that there was no great concern as to the precise colour for the batch spraying that went on in the factory. After all these were toys and this was the early 1950's. The deeper blue matched well to the original blue on my Bedford Tractor but the lighter blue was definitely greener than the colour of my original trailer but this does not necessarily make it 'wrong'. You only have to do a Google search on 982 Pullmore Transporters to see great variations in the particular shades of each blue. I did this Google search as part of my research and found, within the colour variations manifested were colours similar to the colour recommended by my supplier. Close enough for me to use it as an 'authentic' blue for this model of this period. The prototype may be different from the production models - variations in the production model colours are there for all to see. Thanks again 👍👍 ... David
@@davidhyde4329 ..
Wow...yes it is a perennial problem. And controversial within this mini universe of Dinky and Matchbox "fanciers".
A disease I contracted in primary school I have to admit.
Thank you for your kind and sensible response.
I have now dug out my boxed pristine model from my "treasure box" to compare and wow...you are correct my twain are both quite different pale blues. I was totally surprised.
I hadn't expected that.
My "played with" model had for most of its life stood on a 50s model road layout in a constant daylit situation for years ..(along with various buses and especially Jaguar cars which I was won't to ask Aunties to give me for Christmas etc...)
These often now have "one sided" faded colours !!!!
These were frequently also inconsistent colour to start with...sigh!
It gets worse!!!
I was also an "old" academic from the University in the Fens and so recognise that green-blue ..pretty well on sight...and so all my prejudices about it twitch whenever I see it ..your manufacturer has made a good rendering of that hue.
I've taken to refurbishing my "fleet" since following your vlogs. ..I'm by no means as skilled...but it is pleasing to do the "restore" ... some don't quite work... and for me...it's that horrid memory of what was the "correct" colour.
I'm now forever burdened by that pre-teen memory..of a brighter simpler 1950s world...sigh.
Thank you for your film..most enjoyable...and nostalgic.
Thanks for your full and gracious reply. Very interesting to hear about your personal comparison - I wish I had a couple of originals. Interesting to to hear first hand about the shift in colour due to daylight - yet another headache when trying for an accurate original colour. I don't consider myself as a restorer in the true sense of the word - my offerings are more accurately described as (as you put it) refurbished. Anyway, I thank you for a grown-up and pleasurable exchange of views and wish you well with with your restoring/refurbishing - and oh yes I share your memory of a brighter and simpler world 👍👍 ... David
For heaven's sake please use gloves when using paint stripper or lose your finger skin.
Yes Phil, sorry, should be waring gloves 👍👍👍
