they're tyco toys matchbox not lesney's matchbox

I have same model car but in bad condition

Models working in factory 😢

I wonder why Hot Wheels was successful than Matchbox.

Fascinating look at the factories of the 60s

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing

This is painful to watch when I use to live a couple of miles away from the original Matchbox factory in Hackney, England. Lesney Matchbox is British and always will be, but when it was sold to its rival Hot wheels it was a betrayal to the independent British toy industry. One day I have hopes Hot wheels will sell matchbox back to a british entrepreneur who will bring matchbox back home, to its birthplace. Nobody made matchbox cars like we did in Britain.

👏👏👏

It’s hard to believe British engineers manufactured these successful toy cars in the London borough of Hackney. So sad developers completely destroyed the original factory, instead of redeveloping it like Battersea power station, which could of incorporated a museum inside the redevelopment to pay homage to Matchbox past. Hackney now, is just for rich folk.

was this from reading rainbow? that sounds like levar burton narrating.

Hey can some one help here, can 3d printers replace pantograph machine and also the milled version of the car? I am not an industry expert, out of curiosity I am raising this question!

Yo cuando era menor me gustaban muchos estos autos ahora los colecciono pero impresionante la calidad de profesionales para realizar dicho trabajo

Funky FRESH!

im glad i ran across this ! loving it thank you i collect and am a HUGE fan! im still a little kid inside :D !

Too bad all those people were put out of work when Matchbox moved it's works out of England.

I LOVE matchbox toys. 1969 to 1979.

I always wondered, I thought maybe they did half the car then mold it a couple times then put the two halves together and so on.

Is that you Geordi La Forge?

Lo mejor que ha tenido Matchbox es sus carritos que abren puertas sus accesorios y todos sus buenos acabados que tuvieron inicialmente, ahora ya son comunes y corrientes ya no son los mismos

Wow! The model shop was the hardest part or the creation of a car, all was manually before, nowdays that part is easier thanks to the 3d printers that do automatically that work. Now the guy of model shop needs to know how to use software instead of analog tools like the one of the video.

I need those machines. 🤩😍

Superrrr 😊

My dear old mum worked at the Lesney factory in Rochford, Essex, so toy cars found their way into every birthday present and Christmas present. Happy days.

What a shame it all was moved from the UK. Lesney and Matchbox was quintessentially British.

I like to know only one thing the rest I can create , what is that material called which is been used as for the base body?

Que bno seria que salga al mercado nuevamente esos carritos tan bonitos clásicos Matchbox, q abren las puertas, el baul etc los compraría todos.

Great! Thank you for the video ❤

Tomica is the way to go for quality stuff

Que lastima que está empresa inglesa maxtbox se acabará, vehículos a scala con gran acabado similar a los vehículos de verdad.

De qué manera se puede comprobar si el empaque es original o no?

a state of art. tank you England you give so much Nice toys.Regads from Norway.

Wow! I so wanted to watch a video like this, about diecast manufacturing! Finally I found it and really gave me a big smile. 😁

Made in China

Rename it this is from the Tyco era. Leseney went under in 1982 and was sold to Universal Toys which was sold to Tyco in 1992. This is from 1994.

Is this from reading rainbow?

Very nicely done! I wonder how the paint job would look if you copied the original Matchbox method of just two spray coats of enamel with no primer and no clearcoat. I think the detail would show through much better and since these restored cars are more for show that to be played with, there'd be little worry of chipping the paint later. Perhaps if you come across two identical old cars that need restoring you could try it and see.

Que hermoso y yo apenas tengo 3 micro machines

Gammon sandwiches all round!

Lesney (producers of Matchbox) went under because all you people on the web started playing video games. It's as simple and as sad as that.
