Corgi restoration Simon Snorkel Fire Engine No. 1127. Toy model cast.

- Corgi Major No. 1127 Simon Snorkel Fire Engine, released in September 1964, was an excellent replica of one of the newest types of fire engines used in authentic actions at the time of the toy's launch. Thank you for watching the movie, I publish videos with the repair of cars on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on subtitles in your language with the action commentary in the video.
Initially packed in a polystyrene base, with a very attractive box lid, with excellent graphics of the device in action. Production ended in 1976. The boom rises and lowers thanks to a beautifully designed pantograph mechanism that keeps the yellow cage level. The model features four extendable stabilizing legs. My copy was in good technical condition. It had a broken axis of rotation on the boom. I repaired this complicated mechanism by adding a special pin, which was threaded by me. I also made a fireman's set based on a figure of a man. I made him a helmet of polyurethane resin and painted the whole thing in the color of the firemen's team - black. To complete the impression of authenticity, I also made a box with a polystyrene bottom. I managed to get a similar polystyrene in a friendly shop, after some mechanism. I completed its size and got a full box.
Nice to see a toy from my childhood in the UK. Fireman in their old uniforms from that time. Nice restoration, my compliments.
Thank you very much
I'd forgotten all about this model, but my bother had one! Indoor playing only, he didn't want this one full of dirt!
Cool
I’ve watched about a half dozen restoration videos of all different guys but I’d have to say the Paul Restorer is the king of all of them
One of your best. It would have been a shame for that truck to end its life in the trash and now is a little gem.
Thank you very much
Brilliant restoration of a difficult casting to repair, nice work on the fireman's helmet.
All the best Martin 👍
Thank you very much Martin
Stunning stunning stunning you never fail to produce a first class model, thank you for making video.

Wow Paul, this is a stunning restoration. However complex, you deliver, as always, a marvelous gem.
Thank you very much
Really great work! The mechanical work is 🥳 the 4mm screw was a superb idea!
Keep going your great work!

Thank you very much
One of, if not your best work yet Paul!!! Amazing job as usual, paint work and details. To getting the boom arms working again then reinventing the peg on the swivel base, added a basket hose operator. Topped off with the box art and custom styrofoam.
Thank you very much
Gorgeous paint job -- better than original? Great figure. Fantastic rebuild, especially your reworking the boom.
Brilliant!
Thank you very much Randy
A wonderful restoration Paul, and a brilliant solution to the mandrel problem.
Thank you very much
Mettoy made some very good models in the Corgi Major range, this being a replica of a Bedford chassis-based appliance. These complicated models were expensive. Great restoration job 👍
I bought mine new in 1977 for US $16 which seemed like a huge sum at the time!
Congratulations on successfully tackling this very complicated model! Respect!
Thank you very much
Again , great job . They made some of the best toys. Glad to see them brought back to thier prime.
Thank you very much
Fantastic restoration love the fireman's helmet ⛑️ attention to detail as always
Thank you very much.
Extraordinary engineering on that model, and extraordinary attention to detail by you on that restoration. I never got to own one of these models as a kid, but used lust over them in the shop. Excellent work.
Thank you very much Carl
I loved this old toys. They have complex mechanism not like todays.
Thank you very much
Really... your jobs are the best... congratulations Paul!
Thank you very much Juan
Amazing job! This was one of my favorite Corgi toys when I was a kid. Yeah, I'm an old guy; born in 1954. (I'm an American, by the way.) You're right about the snorkel truck being a new type of fire engine back then, at least in the USA. Looking at the release date, I probably got it in the first year or two of its release. I've seen several of my old toys on this channel. Thanks for the videos! They bring back some fond memories.
Thank you very much , Best wishes
Awesome job again, this one was kinda difficult to restore. Splendid. 😁👏👏👏
Thank you so much 😀
Incredible restoration.
Thank you very much
Great painstaking work. It's a pity that you had no way of flocking the polystyrene base.
Thank you very much. very valuable attention with this logging in, I have to figure out how to do it in the future
Przed - po, jaka różnica 😁
Corgis... nieosiągalne marzenia z dzieciństwa. Doskonałe modele i bajeczne wykończenie. Nawet dziś, jako "stary człowiek" 👴🏼 są dla mnie fascynujące.
Wielkie dzieło, mój drogi Pawle, jestem zachwycony.
Wiadomo, że zawsze robi się oryginalne opakowanie dla danego modelu. Ale tym razem jest to coś więcej niż tylko niezwykłe. Styropianowa dolna część pudełka jest super 👍🏼.
Jak już mówiłem, całkiem świetna robota. Dzięki za udostępnienie, zdecydowanie kciuki ode mnie za to 👍🏼
Miłego weekendu dla ciebie i twojej rodziny i pozostań bezpieczny i zdrowy. Trzymaj się dobrej roboty mój przyjacielu.
Pozdrowienia od zwariowanego staruszka z die cast na wybrzeżu Morza Północnego.

Before - after, what a difference 😁
Corgis... the unattainable dreams of childhood. Excellent models and a fabulous finish. Even today, as an "old man", 👴🏼 they are fascinating to me.
A grandiose work, my dear Paul, I'm thrilled.
It's well known that you always make the original packaging for the model. But this time it is more than just remarkable. The styrofoam bottom part of the box is super 👍🏼.
As I said, well done. Thanks so much for sharing, definitely a thumbs up from me 👍🏼
Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate.
Greetings from the die cast crazy old man on the North Sea shore.
👨🏼🚒🚒👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Vorher - Nachher, was für ein Unterschied 😁
Corgis... die unerreichbaren Träume der Kindheit. Exzellente Modelle und eine sagenhafte Verarbeitung. Selbst heute, als "alter Mann", 👴🏼 sind sie für mich faszinierend.
Eine grandiose Arbeit, mein lieber Paul, ich bin begeistert.
Es ist ja bekannt daß du, zum Modell, auch immer die Originalverpackung anfertigst. Diesmal ist aber auch das mehr als nur bemerkenswert. Das Styropor-unterteil des Kartons ist super.👍🏼
Wie gesagt, ganz tolle Arbeit. Vielen Dank fürs teilen, von mir ganz klar ein Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼
Dir und Deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter. Mach weiter so, mein Freund.
Gruß vom Die-cast-verrückten alten Mann an der Nordseeküste.

Vielen Dank Paul
For some reason, I really enjoyed this one Paul ! 😉😆
That snorkel mechanism was so complex, yet it didn't seem to faze you much.
Amazing how it came with 5 firefighters inside the cabin..that is unheard of, these days.
Great work, champion !
👨🚒👍🇦🇺
Why did I know when I just read the announcement, that you liked this show...? (no idea 🤣)
A great model and a fabulous piece of work.

Thank you very much
Best one yet 👍🏻
Thank you very much
I still have mine in excellent condition. All it has needed were some new tyres a few years ago. The only thing is that the firemen are missing. (small addition: Simon was one of my father's customers).
Cool
Wow Paul..Fantastic work...
Thank you very much Brian
Me encantó lo del Unicel fantástico 🤩🤩🤩

Thank you very much Jerry
also I am a big fan of the Snorkel fire trucks I have the Aero chief snorkel model by AMT
Cool
Looks great. I had one of these that needed to be restored I traded it to the gentleman in Beautiful Las Vegas Nevada, and in all honestly I'm glad I did it looks like a lot of work though it also looks like a lot of reward
Thank you very much
Muy buen video mi amigo Paul like y saludos 👋😇
Muchas gracias Walter
I have this model in good original condition but your restorations always look better than when they were new. Great video too!
Cool, thank you very much.
Big job 😍👍👏
Thank you very much
you are not only a skilled restorator, but also a repairologist! :D I mean, where does one get that outside-screw, anyway? did you slaughter some obscure machinery for it? but yes, if it works it ain't cheating. XD
nice box, too. I almost expected you to cast one from polyurethane, though. :)
Thank you very much
Wow

@@PaulRestorer You are welcome Dear Paul 👍
Do you remember the tiny little Matchbox cars too ? You could get yellow assembled tracks that they did vertical circle loops on…And the Hot Wheels make too. With orange track.
a lot of these little matchbox cars are refurbished on my channel
@@PaulRestorer Thanks for all this stuff. Takes me right back to my childhood.
Paul, I have an idea for you, make the Olympic RAF Moscow 80, whether it's the Volga, well, something related to the Olympics 80 or the Olympics in general
Московскую олимпиаду делал на модели московский универсал, сейчас потихоньку готовлюсь к зимней олимпиаде на модели Citroen DS, но это займет какое-то время
@@PaulRestorer Тогда хорошо, можно сделать что то связанное с Сочи 2014
Beautiful job👍🏽what do you use to polish clear plastic?
Thank you very much, Gauzy agent
