- Dinky Toys leyland comet restoration No 531 made from 1949-1954. I am very pleased with how this model came out and the design of it. It looks great on my O gauge model railway layout, Please subscribe for more dinky restorations!
This is lovely! I always had a soft spot for these Briggs cabbed Comets and Dinky did a lovely job in recreating them. A super restoration, too.
Thank you! I was very pleased about restoring this Dinky It has a great overall appearance.
@@Vintagetoymadness-pe6lk I just wish Dinky had modelled the ET6 and parrot-nosed Dodge that share the same cab pressings to the same scale - they'd have made a stunning trio.
Hi Great job of restoration well done, Meccano saw works very good
Thanks!
Very nice sympathetic resto
Excellent restoration looks very smart
Thank you!
Nice Job
Thanks!
Before your excellent restoration this Leyland Comet had such an honest patina of many years of play that I felt it had a certain charm in its own right. This is just an observation and not a criticism. If I choose to save some old Dinkies in original condition and restore some other ones then that is down to me. Whilst in this frame of mind I wonder how many restored toys are returned to the hands of children for further adventures and how many toys spend the rest of their days behind glass in display cabinets. I'm not saying that one is preferable to the other, just idly musing. Your rejuvenated Comet is a testament to the durability of these fine toys.
Think the tyres at the end are a bit small ?
Yes!, they are my only four good tyres at the moment
Waiting to get the proper ones😄
Such a wonderful restoration of such a beautiful toy, done by a truly talented & gifted artist
Thanks!
