MATCHBOX Restoration No. 35A Marshall Horse Box 1957
Рет қаралды 38,617
7 ай бұрынFishing around through my 'To Do' models I have often cast this one aside as being an uninteresting model that would not make for an entertaining video.
But today, I looked at it in a different light and it charmed me, so much so that I decided to give it ago.
Through the process of disassembling, stripping and re-painting it, I became aware, as I usually do, that this model was chosen by Matchbox to be their best choice at the time.
They put their all into it, and really went to town on the complex details of the horse box. Quite a beautiful little thing in it's own right, I am pleased that I took the time to give it a second chance! - Please let me know if you agree.

And happy New Year to you & Julie! Marty if you look closely at the vehicle body, above and to the left of that grab handle and footsteps, there's the representation of a storage compartment in the top of the body over the cab. On the real thing the footsteps and grab handle would have allowed the driver or a groom to access that compartment where they would have stored ropes/tethers, etc..

Most of the older matchbox and corgi models were made from basemetal . i used to be a regular viewer of this channel up until the channel stopped actually being about restoring these classic model toys for a while its good to see marty restoring these long lost classic models.. they dont make them like that no more .

Edwin Richard Foden. He founded ERF after having a disagreement with the board of directors of Fodens, as to the use of steam power over Diesel. Edwin wanted to use Diesels, but Fodens wanted to stick with their steam types! Both companies ended their final days with owner MAN ceasing production of ERF in favour of their own products in 2007, whilst Paccar closed Fodens doors in July 2006. Anyhow, excellent makeover Marty! A very Happy New Year to you all! 🙂

ERF is ER Foden (Edwin Richard) and they were a British heavy vehicle manufacturer founded in the early 1930's. Ultimately they were bought out by MAN who discontinued the name in the 2000's. Love your model reconstructions - they provide hours of enjoyment. Thanks

The horsebox looks absolutely new again 🤩 (Well done, Marty) Even "factory fresh" the model was very detailed back then, after the resto... WOW (A little TLC always pays off 😉) Marty, I'm thrilled, clearly both thumbs up for this 👍🏼 👍🏼 Wishing you, your family, the team behind the scene and all die-cast friends worldwide a happy and healthy new year 2024 (looking forward to more episodes 😃) Keep up your awesome work, mate and Happy New Year, here from the rainy lighthouse end of the Elbe river. 🌧️ ☔ 🙄 😎👍🏼🇦🇺🎆🥂🎆🇩🇪👍🏼🤠

Miss seeing Kevin these days! ERF are initials of the founder Edwin Richard Foden, brother of the founder of Foden trucks. They had a big fallout when Edwin believed the future was with diesel power whilst his brother wanted to keep with steam. They both had factories in Sandbach in Cheshire for a long time - when I was in the transmission business, I sometimes had to visit both factories trying to sell them products…

Hi Marty, great video, the model looked amazing when finished. The name of the E.R.F company founder was Edwin Richard Foden. He foresaw the future of lorry design using diesel power instead of steam. The Foden board room members did not agree, he therefore resigned, and went on to create his own brand of lorry, named E.R.F using the initials of his name.

To stop the potential splodge of paint when starting to spray, start the spray gun spraying and then introduce the model into the spray, The loops are for tying hay net's to and or an animal of your choice to. Interesting video, thanks for sharing
@bookman7409 7 ай бұрын
If by the loops you're referring to the one toward the front of the trailer, with the three toe steps below and forward of it, I disagree. I think the little handle on the side of the trailer's "attic" section over the cab shows that the handle and steps are to give you access to that cubby. Which isn't to say it was never used as you described, as well, but why have the steps and the latched door on the cubby? If you referred to something else on the trailer, my misunderstanding, but that's my take on that group of features.

Hi Marty there is an easy test to determine plastic or metal wheels. Simply touch the wheel or wheels to your lip. Metal is much colder than plastic and you can tell almost straight away with a bit of practice. Love the channel, best wishes Mike
