What a magnificent model! - This miniature excavator is like nothing else that I have done. An amazing little toy that must have been a joy to receive back in 1959 when it came out. With multiple moving parts and tracked wheels I can imagine that it would have been a 'must have' in the sandpit out the back. I love it!

Anyone who follows Marty’s channel knows that he is extremely competent at DIY (if DIY is the right word). There is always something that needs doing - even more so when you’ve not long moved into a new house. I’d be more triggered if your hands were perfect - something would be wrong.

Cracking result, Marty! The Bucyrus Foundry and Manufacturing Company was founded in Bucyrus, Ohio, in 1880. Bucyrus (bew-SY-rəs) Erie (later Bucyrus International) was a mining and excavation company that produced heavy plant equipment. It is now owned by Caterpillar. In 1930, Bucyrus joined with Ruston & Hornsby in Lincoln, England to become Ruston-Bucyrus in England. I have a Dinky or Corgi version of this which has thumbwheels to articulate the bucket and jib. It’s in a sorry state and needs restoration!

I deal with severe depression and there's not much that makes me smile and laugh anymore, but your videos always lift my spirits. Thank you for sharing your hobby with us. I knew you were a good soul on the unboxing video when you started crying. Take care Marty.

@ericlewis3892 3 месяца назад

Marty, we have a brick plant in Hanover, Ohio that still uses those types of shovels. The door opposite the cabin would give access to the winch system for the cables. The drivers cabin door would have slid back. Would love to send some pictures of one they restored.

@brianartillery 3 месяца назад

For many years, my late father worked in civil engineering. A big treat, when I was a kid, was to go to work with him, at a weekend, or in the school holidays. Now, this was in the early 1970's, and, although safety rules were in place, they were nowhere near as rigorous as they are today - even if the nine year old me was painted dayglo orange and fitted with strobe lights, I wouldn't even be allowed on site nowadays. But then, it was muddy and fun. Dad was fully qualified to operate any of the machinery used, and I always knew, at some point, we'd watch a machine working, and he'd turn to me, with a smile on his face, and he'd say: "D'ye fancy a go?" My answer was always: "Yes!" That's how I came to opeate the dragline version of the 22-RB. I did drive a Priestman face shovel (Corgi made one), which looks very similar to this face shovel. Dad let me drive loads of stuff, but always with the rule of: "Don't tell your Mother." I never did. Lovely restoration of a model I have now got to seek out for myself. Thank you, Marty. Nice one. 👍👍👍

@TheDavidPoole 3 месяца назад

Hey Brian, my youth was very similar in the 70s and early 80s. I think that we probably had an innate sense of safety back then that the kids of today don't. Sure, I'd have a whale of a time exploring and doing things I probably shouldn't have, but was always careful and never had an accident. Weekends were always quiet on-site back then. When I got older he got me holiday jobs with the sub-contractors which is where I learned to operate JCBs and 360s. But when I left college I went into computing. He never mentioned it, but I was always sure he was a little disappointed. I loved those days and would give anything to go back and spend that time with him again. Cheers ✌️

For what it's worth, I've found that once one pair of scissors has mauled a bit of plastic bag without cutting it, even a nice pair has trouble cutting in the same spot. I always have to start a new cut somewhere else.

@fenrislegacy 3 месяца назад

That’s a beautiful model, Marty, a real eye candy. There is so much going on for such a small package haha Regarding the access doors on the 22RB, the real McCoy has 2 at the back for the engine, 2 on port side for the pulley/winding mechanism and one on starboard, where the cabin window is, that slides inside like you’d see on a milk truck. The square shape that look like a window, that’s where the louvered engine vent should be.

Couldn’t help but think about Mike Mulligan & His Steam Shovel😊

@bwilliams463 3 месяца назад

I went to an American Truck Historical Society show, and on of the attendees had a 1950s-era truck with a lowboy trailer carrying an old steam shovel. He had painted up the whole combination to look like the truck, trailer and shovel from 'Mike Mulligan.' I took pictures, but this was 20-some years ago and they were taken on an analog camera which was still in my car when it was stolen. I'm sure there are photos of it online somewhere, though.

@michaelreeber2185 6 дней назад

Marty, For get the scissors on plastic bags. Just place the bag flat on a hard surface and use a razor knife to slice the top off. Much quicker and less chance of dropping small parts. Cheers!

Marty, on your vise jaws, get another set of L-channel aluminum strips and contact cement a piece of leather, 1/8" thick to each side. The leather will grip whatever you are holding in the vise and not mar it.

@jesterger 3 месяца назад

Greetings from Canada, Marty. That is a beauty of a restoration. I happen to have two of these models and the rear decal is different on them. Where I live, there used to be a Bucyrus- Erie factory that made these shovels. Across the road was the Euclid factory that made the quarry trucks.

@gsp0113 3 месяца назад

Beautiful result and nice diorama photos at the end. It amazes me that you can source replacement treads and decals for Matchbox vehicles that are now 60 years old. I'd have never thought it possible.

@railtrolley 3 месяца назад

There are quite a few companies that produce spare parts and decals for Matchbox. Can be found on ebay, or a Google search. Great way to replace the parts or accessories, which were easily lost on some Matchbox models. My next project is a #43 pony trailer. Got a ramp to replace the missing one. I will have to fix the broken window with part of a CD case.

That last outtake when you had the knife upside down… 😂 what a brilliant video. I was doubtful about not separating the shovel before painting but it worked out very well.

@StephenHowton 3 месяца назад

Interestingly, Taylor Woodrow was a home-building firm in England, and my late father (who died on Fathers' Day last year) was their Chief Architectural Draftsman before 1970 when we emigrated to Australia. So you have certainly attracted my attention and possibly caused me to start searching for this model. Ruston-Bucyrus Ltd was an engineering company established in 1930 and jointly owned by Ruston & Hornsby based in Lincoln, England, and Bucyrus-Erie based in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the latter of which had operational control and into which the excavator manufacturing operation of Ruston & Hornsby was transferred. The Bucyrus Company proper, from which the Bucyrus component of the Ruston-Bucyrus name was created, was an American company founded in 1880, in Bucyrus, Ohio. (Source: Wikipedia).
