This model Matchbox Daimler bus was gifted to me from my friends in the USA, Kevin and Kasey McMullen! They bought it for 50 cents and sent it half way around the world to Melbourne, Australia, so that I could give it some well needed TLC and make it fit for service once again. Thank you K&K., another Matchbox Lesney model restored to near new condition. This video is the first to feature my Drone pick-up and delivery service, which was unfortunately unsuccessful and failed to take off.

Marty the face mask and handcuffs killed me. I love your humorous touches.

@garagedweller7159 5 лет назад

I am 59 and still have this very same matchbox since I was a child . it is the prize piece of my collection . It has always been my favorite. You did a great job bringing that one back.

@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne 4 года назад

What a lovely old bus. I grew up in Coventry where Daimler were based, and these buses would frequently be seen being tested whilst still minus their bodywork, the drivers wrapped head to toe in thick clothing to protect them from the cold.

My first Matchbox Car was a garbage truck. My grandmother (she was from the Seneca tribe, and was 98 at the time... she lived to be 114) She tried to give me this toy garbage truck... my brother and myself both, she would try to give us matchbox cars, and we were always taught to be polite, and not take advantage of our grand mother, so we politely declined the gift.... so in order to convince us to take the toys, she took a penny, and stuck it into the back of the garbage truck, and then showed me how when the box of the truck was lifted, it would push the penny out with the compactor. Well, I was a five year old, and starting my Jewish learning, so a penny in the Matchbox toy... that changes EVERYTHING! To this day, I have fond memories of that Matchbox garbage truck... and that little compactor that would push things out when it was lifted, and my hope is to some day see you do a restoration of one. I haven't seen one of them since I was a small child though. I want to thank you for your channel, however... as a model railroader, I have used a number of your tips and tricks, and I look forward to each and every one of your episodes.

@dhcraft9472 5 лет назад

Just a thought but since you are making your own decals/printed parts, how about printing the donors names either as one side of a decal set or as a 3d name plate as a thanks to the donor? You could ask your commentators what they think before going ahead if you like the idea . Have a laughter filled holiday.

@BibtheBoulder 3 года назад

Born in 1963 I lived on Radford Road Coventry between 1967 and 1971. I would regularly see these buses, minus their bodies, being test driven along Radford Road, their drivers wrapped up like the Michelin Man to stay warm....happy days.

@tinovanderzwanphonocave544 5 лет назад

restoring things is always great fun!! I restored my first antique violin today mostly exterior wear and tear and I'm pretty pleased with the result the paint job had gone dark and misty but after a thorough polish, it now shows the almost crystalline woodgrain again sparkling in the light when you move it also re-glued all the parts that were loose like f.i. the neck, now for a cello!!

Marty you make my day. I love watching your program I like the way you throw in some comedy with the restoration of cars of my childhood. I had a friend whos dad was in the military and he sent him new cars every week or so. He had about 300 cars, trucks, tractors, heavy equipment, and other matchbox"s. We would build hole city's We spent weeks and weeks building them. Thank You for bringing back the memorys of 50+ years ago.

@MrJCruz79 5 лет назад

The trick you used to separate the two pieces of the bus is brilliant. I dont think i would have ever thought of that. Another great video.

@TheWarflight 5 лет назад

My eldest daughter, when she was about six years old, discovered while we were working on the car, that "J.B. Weld" was perfect for fixing a bad radiator. Clever kid... I never have to worry about her being stranded, or taken advantage of my a mechanic, as she can do all the work herself, if she ever had to. That radiator lasted another five years before I finally sold the car. (probably still holding, if the car is still around. That was close to 30 years ago)

@brianpritchard9286 4 года назад

Hi Marty. Your videos are great and have inspired me to give it a go. Just a tip on this MB 74 bus model which makes things easier is that if you put a small screwdriver through the rear lower deck window and push up against the upper deck body, the rivet comes apart with a little force, but also in most cases allows the model to be press refitted later without glue. This is much easier than drilling a hole and refilling it.

I collected them from all over the world by having travelers bring them home to me in Ohio. I wish I would have kept them but yard sales, relationships, and rotten to the core nephews and nieces deleted them.
