MATCHBOX Restoration No.K7 Refuse Truck 1967

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- I managed to take two broken refuse trucks and make one that works. The other bits left over have been put away as spare parts. Today I learnt that the metals used by Matchbox seem to have varying tolerance to heat. Attempting to weld a repair, something which I have done before, resulted in the metal turning liquid and basically dissapearing! I had to learn a new method involving the use of solder with a lower melting point. I will have to showcase this new method in another video as I ended up not filming it because I was not sure that it would work.
A short documentary on the real thing:

This matchbox model represents the Shelvoke & Drewry T series Pakamatic refuse collector from the 1960's. The crew cab actually seats 7, 3 in the front and 4 in the rear which is a full width bench seat. I build & cutomise waste Industry equipment models. I've restored a few of these models and modified a couple with the high cab roof that most of these variants had (to allow crew to stand up in the cab) The low roof version didn't actually have the two vent grills either side of the radiator shown on the model but the design was obviously taken from the other prototype. Nice restoration Marty, Love the improvised tool for peening the body pivot, keep them coming! Oh yeah and the rear portion is the Hopper/tailgate assembly, and the round dome above the radiator grill in the centre of the windscreen is where you filled the coolant. On the real vehicles these were Chrome. The roundel in the centre of the radiator bears the letters SD, these were white on a red background. the spar down the centre of the radiator was body coloured. (Obviously matchbox simply did the easiest paintjob to apply)
WOW! My head almost split in half due to the smile on my face when i spotted this!!!!!!!!!
Drills come in two sizes,
Two big and two small.
If you havent tried baking soda for blasting your parts, I highly recommend you do so. It wont remove details, but it will remove paint and leave a nice surface for painting. We use it at work for removing epoxy from delicate printing parts when they get worn out.
“Pick it up as you go along” that took me far to long to get, and then made me laugh until they thought I was mad! Nice one Marty!
And good to see Kevin wearing his mask too!
Great stuff, Marty. Very well narrated and satisfying to watch.
King sized model with a KING SIZED restoration. Kudos, mate! You never fail to amaze and amuse. Must say, "I'm happy with that"!
Thank you very much!

V...ymxu,,
At first, it seemed this was a simple fit, but you used a lot of your experience to engineer a better model. I really like the results and enjoyed the tips for my modeling projects.
One heck of a repair, just outstanding modeling!
Another great restoration Marty!!!
I love the newspaper headline you picked LOL
Nice job restoring 👍🏻, I had this as a kid, if memory serves me right, mine was blue. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I think it was the small dennis 1-75 that had the blue cab
@@highpath4776 Cheers for the reply, after doing some research, I think I've found it (Vintage Budgie #274 Cast Refuse Garbage Waste Trash Truck).

Great little truck, fond memories 😃
102% but it works perfectly! Marty you made my day!
G'day from Germany. I had this model as a child, too and it's nice to see it again in brandnew condition. That's another first-class job, mate, a lot of effort but worth it in the end.
Clearly, a thumbs-up for that. 👍🏼
And besides, I see the trash collectors in Australia work the same way they do here. 😂😂😂
(Just a joke 😁😜)
Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Cuxhaven to You, Julie, the team behind the scenes and of course the most "koalafied" garbage truck driver in Australia, KEVIN 🐨
😁👍🏼🇦🇺👋🏼🇩🇪👍🏼😁
I never get bored by your video’s! Once again a job well done. 🔝
Marty, how nice to watch someone allow their skills to grow and adapt. It is always a pleasure to see you master new techniques.
Hi Marty, very nice piece of work on the Shelvoke & Drewery refuse lorry, l loved the redesign on the rear tipping mechanism what a good idea !
Loved the video at the end, l thought when you put those last bags in the bin for Kevin to collect if it had been here they wouldn’t take, and l was right ha ha ! Conclusion is ALL bin men are trained to the same standards ha ha . Looking forward to the next video. Regards Tony Hawkridge.
The car restorers sometime use bi carbsoda as a sand blast medium it would be finer than the glass beads
Marty, the next time you need to use the Muggy Weld and torch, try using an small alligator clamp on the part, so it acts as a heat sink to draw away the heat, in the hopes that it won't melt your part. You'll still have sufficient heat to melt the Muggy Weld and join the two parts. I use alligator clamps, when I'm soldering capacitors to potentiometers on my guitars and it works beautifully, preventing the capacitors from being damaged.
Right on brother, alloy heat sink clamps work like you said, my Dad used them when doing electronic repairs 🇦🇺😎👍
@@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS My Dad was an electronics engineer with Westinghouse, that's how I learned.
Great ....❤️ "Kim Ngan river barge craft" wishes you good health, and I hope you have many interesting initiatives💕❤️🥰
What an awesome restoration
34:55 Yep, that's what they tell you on your first day at dustman training. "You'll pick it up as you go along." 😂
A very nice job! The rivet job was ingenious.
Nice to see Kevin gainfully employed. 👍
Nice to see Kevin being a responsible citizen. :)
I do enjoy the king sizes Marty. The engineering in these models is great
Nothing comes close anymore.
looks better than new. always love the news paper articles
From trash to treasure. Great job on restoring the model Marty. Liked the picture in a picture too. Saw what you were doing and the close up. Looking forward to the next adventure and I see Kevin is a fast learner!
Howdy Clare! It's another great Marty makeover video.
@@feralcatbrothers It's always a great day when there is a video from Marty!!
@@BigLisaFan Agreed - I look forward to every one of them.
Love that, great restoration. As for the plastic interior many of the 1-75 series with interiors also have the same construction of the dash and steering wheel folding back like that.
Folding allows transition from a more easily injection-moldable geometry to the final use geometry.
Have you had any training as a binman"
"you just pick it up as you go along" 😂
Great restoration Marty, it caused a few problems but turned out beautiful.
Hey, I have this one from when I was a kid and it is in great shape!! Loved this video!
Marty as I've said before, you are the master of your craft! As always it was nice to see Kevin up to his wankering ways. 🐨
Great. As always. The best matchbox restoration show in the world
Wow, thank you!
Yeah, 3 workers on an 'Ash Cart'. One driver and two guys to run out and grab the bins. Totally amazing restoration!!
I have totally enjoyed each of your restorations since subscribing. You do a fine job breathing new life into potentially discarded models. And I've been inspired to attempt a few myself. Keep up the good work Marty!!!
This is an amazing bit of work. Welding all the bits of metal together fascinates me. Also your voice helps me to sleep so thank you for that lol
Love your work. I suffer from pulmonary fibrosis and because of you i have now started doing this. Only problem i do not have any old cars only new ones so I modify them a little with new paint. I did have a 4 x 4 from a few years back i midified. I added roof mounted spotlights. This may interest you i used old hearing aid batteries.
Thanks for helping with my anxiety and depression due to my illness.
Rick, Do you ever use ebay? There are a lot of older toys that could be restored there and many of them are inexpensive. Or garage sales or flea markets, I've seen a whole box of old toys that are beat up for a few dollars. Keep working on whatever you've got and remember it doesn't need to be perfect, if you like it and enjoy the process that's all that matters.
Marty you did it again. Another great video and makeover. The little box on the side of the truck is a battery box. Thank you for keeping the yesteryear alive.
Love watching your videos I wanted to do this when I was a kid
Great looking bin lorry and with Kevin being so fussy it should stay nice.
Glass beads and garnet can be a little too abrasive for delicate work. We always used crushed walnut shells on our molds as they were very exacting tolerances and an aggressive blast media would alter the dimensions.
Nice restoration and paint job 👌
Very nicely done. I guess 1 of ur best restoration. Greets from The Netherlands.
Great video Marty - aha, Tamiya Mica Red, wondered which paint to use for my upcoming restoration.
Quite agree with the somewhat loose fixing method Matchbox originally used on the back collector back in the day.
Will drill out the left hand pin like you did and then opt for easy axles 2 or 3mm tube running through the inside and secure on the outside.
Not original I know but it will look good and work just fine.
All the best Marty
For information: That small tank is not for fuel, that is for hydraulic fluid. I am machine builder, after all, so its in my job discrption to know that.
Beautiful restoration job. I had that one and the small one and loved that truck. Carried it all over the house with me.
Wow a sand blaster very handy!!! Beautiful work on that truck Marty love the red color
Another fabulous job Marty and great video. You need to give Kevin a serious talking to when his shift is over!
Another amazing restoration you've done Marty keep them coming
Its 1:35AM here in Ontario, Canada I should be sleeping but must watch Marty Matchbox 😀
You’re clearly a master restorer. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings if you ever wanted to some custom work, though. No matter what, I’ll keep watching.
That’s a cool idea, using a large bolt as an anvil horn.
Great job! I’ve always enjoyed your videos as well as being entertained by Kevin
Thanks for another superb restoration, According to my friend from Jersey (old not New) the word you're searching for after the axle fail is "Bugger". Narragansett Bay
That back section is fiddly as heck. Beautiful work as always!
@22:13 -- Ah, that's the "moneymaker shot" for sure! Marty's Tabloid Press returns!
It really gets you in places you don't want to think about! 😅
13:08 When you walk through the magic door, your clothes automatically change. And at the end of the video... I've NEVER heard you talking about your mother before!
We need more garbage trucks to clean up the streets 👍 Nice job repairing the vehicle by the way i approved :)
I had the chassis/cab for one of these. I found it on some waste ground. What you started with was so much better than the one I had. Mine had been burnt. I didn't even know it was supposed to be red! It was perfect for the model scrapyard I had on my window ledge as a kid.
I really appreciate that you leave in the difficulty and how you overcome it. If Kevin was collecting on my street, he would be leaving more of those damn overloaded bin notices than taking away rubbish! LOL.
Love the way he works. Gives it all he's got with every project. Very good perseverance
Awesome restoration, and a beautiful result. I think paintig the parts trash container prior to assembling would be much easier then painting it assembled. And Yes, Kevin is right this time! Grreetings from Germany to Down Under !
Yes As Marty added the black bags I was thinking they wouldn't take the rubbish in the UK. There was one old man in southern England who put a sauce bottle in the rubbish bin and they wouldn't empty the bin. Pleased I don't live there
I know at this point you’ve gotten a lot of suggestion on blasting media, but you may want to try walnut shell. It’s fairly gentle, but does a surprisingly good job. I would probably get the fine if I were you. That’s my two cents anyway.
Hi Marty love youre show. I used to play with match box cars when i was a kid ow maybe early 70s. And after watching youre show started collecting them again. I have (2) no. K7 I’m restoring and could use some decals if you still have them let me know how much i would owe you.Im a welder and a mechanic and i do restore first gen Toyota’s 4-runners for fun also. I have loads of Greek family in oozyland but have never made it there yet some day. Have a nice day from down here in Texas.
Charley, email me your address and I shall send a couple of sets out to you, no worries, Marty.
Keep up to great work on the videos
I love the headline placement in the spray booth Marty.
There are tool and engineers tools. Live and learn :)
lot of patience also
Garbage truck looks great! Love your videos!!
Seriously watching this for the comedy as much as for the restorations 😂
Looks awesome, Marty. I always like when You restore a complicated model. It’s so neat to see you take a model that’s destined for the bin, and make it look like new again.
Great job Marty! A lot of work but a beautiful result. Glad to see Kevin is keeping safe even if he won't pick up your garbage.
"Give it a quick tug' if you will..."
You, sir, owe me a new keyboard!
Great job Marty! I had two of these trucks, one with the individual tires and the other with the Superfast wheels. I was also impressed with your creativity and work arounds to effect the repairs in this renovation.
Another great restoration and no airbrush to clean! Thanks Marty.
Love the resto, and your choice of headlines is always brilliant!
Hey Marty. The reason the interior is made that way is because it is molded (moulded) in a two part mold (mould). If they did it with the dash already folded over, the would not be able to properly separate the mo(u)ld halves. The plastic would grab the mo(u)ld like a claw under the dash portion. This way, you just pop the interior right out, fold it, and easy peasy pop it in. Done. Saves money and time by still being a single piece, vice multiple with would mean more resources and time to make and assemble.
Good job as usual.
When I was a kid, this was exactly the sort of dustcart (Shelvoke & Drewery, or 'S&D') that rolled up on Monday morning to empty our bins. Three blokes - a driver and two dustmen - I think there are no seats in the back, as the blokes would be in and out of the truck all the time, and possibly only sat whilst driving to and from the depot - who, unlike nowadays, would come into the back yard, pick up the bins, empty them, and then put them back where they came from. Nowadays, I've often had to walk up the street, and find my wheelie bin from amongst a clump of other ones.
I don't know what the back of the truck is called, although there is a possibility, that like a normal tipper or dump truck, the load area is known, here in the UK at least, as the 'Buck'.
And your finished model? A thing of beauty. Nice one.
Always a joy watching your restorations Marty. You have passion for your hobby👍😊👍❤
You don't say bad words, do you? Turned out very nice, love the red.
Nice job again Marty, I tried to use muggyweld rods a view times but the metal of the models seem to melt faster then the muggyweld 🤔
A FABULOUS restoration job!!.. Looks better than it did when it left the Lesney Factory!!... Keep up the great work Bud!!
Hey awesome, I had the same when I was young!!! I might still have it somewhere in storage. Great restoration!!
That really looked great and the ending... so true to life. Except here they will take it then bill you double for the little bit of extra, ouch! The out takes show that things sure don't always go right. I used to use the email notifications but YT got rid of them. Guess I was the only one using them? Thanks for sharing your latest restoration.
Kudos for showing your defeats it helps just as much as all the successes...
Atleast for me ty I am in that boat you saved me an hour or 2
Wow!,I have a lot of Matchbox cars,Corgi and Husky.My Grandson was going through the car box,and picked out the 'bin man' lorry.(he loves the real life bin men!).It's in good condition,but nothing like what you've created!.Excellent work!.
Marty... The Grindstone Cowboy!
Good job, it takes nerves of steel to straighten bent cast zinc you have to have a sense of when to stop before it breaks. I had one of those trucks too. In the united states we have a 2 part epoxy called JB weld that has metal particles in it and dries rock hard, other brands call it liquid steel. I wonder if it would be a use to you, I haved fixed broken die cast zinc toy trains with it. It is good for filling pits in metal fixing cracks etc. Im sure there is something similar available in Australia. The other solution is when in doubt have a large parts box of spares! Gives you a reason to keep on collecting junk matchboxes.
Encore une belle restauration ,super collection
Beautiful restoration. Love how you draw us into the process. My son always gets excited when Kevin makes an appearance. 😁👍👍
Marty’s Matchbox Midweek Makeover! Marvellous, Mate!
Turned out really great love watching ur videos where u have to repair damaged parts i find it fascinating to watch how you resolve the problems keep up the good work
I had that refuge truck. I wouldn't have used the 2 to make 1 model. I'd have restored both as they are old and hours of pleasure being played with they both have different stories to tell.
*Huge work on this almost trash die cast, you have renovated it from top to bottom! 👍*
One of your finest restorations, Marty! Brilliant work!
Great restoration and wonderful idea with the extra rivet! Great colors and detailing as always
One of your best turnarounds Marty.. Thoroughly enjoyed!
Fantastic restoration it looks awesome 👍👍😊
That really looks fabulous. I think the little side saddle tank is maybe a hydraulic tank with a battery box on the other side. Good effort on the welding. Do they sell J.B. Weld over there? It is a two part putty that when mixed makes an excellent metal working product. And that was quite rude of Kevin, amazing how quick he picked up the arrogance of city workers.
I use industrial quartz,it does a thorough removal of paint or rust. Used mine for brass tanks from automotive radiators.
I am glad to see Kevin wearing a mask!!!
