Breaks are the only thing that keeps you sane,enjoy all you take. Used to drive the model before that,the tractor had front wheels, so it was a six wheeler.
Welcome home! I trust you had a wonderful time. I will corroborate the denture brush. I used them for many years to clean my projector heads in movie theaters after each reel of film. They are perfect for that job and last for years.
Thank you so much Marty for your wonderful videos. The weekly release shows up here on Sunday mornings, and always goes well with my morning cup of coffee. Cheers!
Always a pleasure to see a new video Marty. I saw that you had a new video out while I was on my lunch break today, but I decided to wait until I got home so I could relax while I watched.
Welcome back! I guess the two hydraulic rams you've mentioned are used to steer the tipper, pivoting the two halves of the vehicle to the right or left, much as a modern scraper does. And I loved the "Giant Seagulls" headline!
I live just south of Ocean Shores Washington State in Long Beach Washington, like to get back in Match Box's even though I'm 59 yrs old now, had over two hundred Match Boxes and Hot Wheels in my youth and played with them every day for hours on end. Keep up with your great videos
Hi Marty and welcome back. Great work and I think it's awesome that you find the time to post a new video while on holiday. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for sharing and have a nice Sunday. Best regards to you, Julie, the team behind the scenes and of course KEVIN 🐨😁
Glad to see ya back from your well deserved vacation Marty, nice 👍 job on both dumper& loader, especially the part of repairing the frame of the dumper unit. Thanks for the tip on using a set of nail punches, “modified of course “ for rounding axels a super idea. As always your restorations are educational & informative, see ya on your next video. Hello from the Eastern Shore of Maryland!😎🦀🐠🦆🌾🍺🇺🇸
@Derek Charette 🤔🙂🍕🍕🥤 yum , as someone who just turned 40 - watch the wieght or nurses changing your pants will come before old age , still , more power to you 🥓🍔🍟🍕🌭
I love the paint removal. It just seems satisfying. I love the delicate music way in the background. Your repair on the bucket was awesome. Your restoration videos are loaded with ambiance. The new nail punch should last forever. Good job as usual. Welcome back.
Absolute 'Fair Dinkum' Mate! Like the nail-punch technique too. . When I was a sprog, around 4-5 years old, I would get dumped on baby-sitter for Sunday afternoons. She had a cardboard box almost full of Matchbox construction trucks, with duplicate numbers of various types - like 43 road-rollers, 24 shovel loaders (Hatans), 52 small dumpers, a handful of artic-dumpers (like this one), standard single shovel tractors and bulldozers with rubber tracks (many missing...) mostly in the same Matchbox 'Canary Yellow' construction-site livery, though I recall one or two being a dull green colour. . Most of these old Matchbox vehicals had no hubs, the wheel and hub were one piece, either in a grey or black plastic, or even cast metal. In the same box were also a large number - prob 30+ - red London double-decker buses and around 20 army 'Ferret' and 'Saladin' scout cars. All these toy vechicals were in varying states of cosmetic condition as they'd all been well played with. It was indeed weird playing with them... No cars, or lorries... Just rollers, dumpers, busses, dozers, Ferrets and Saladins ! Lol! Still, with my then vivid imagination, I was obviously kept occupied for hours with them regardless. . I suspect in hind-sight, that she obtained these as a job lot, possibly from a factory (rejects) sale, hence there being only a few types, but in large numbers. . The same old dear, also lived next to a lovely neighbouring garden, around which ran a model (prob Gauge One) steam railway. The old boy next door would flash this loco up, which hauled around 5 carriages around a raised rail layout. He was as regualr as an 'old school' station master, always flashing up the loco about half and hour after Sunday lunch. He always tooted the whistle to indicate the start of the event... I used to watch keenly from the stair landing window as it chuffed around his garden. . Funny what one remembers, especially so far back... [around 55 years...] Lost count of the number of Corgi, Dinkey, Britains and Matchbox cars I had over the years... All of them collectables now.... If only we'd known. But then, playing would have been very boring at times. I do miss some of them - Dinky's - FAB 1 - Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang (one of the best of all time...), The Batmobile, or Corgi's 007's Gold or Silver DB5, or the Austin 'Learner' car (with realistic steering wheel steering), or the 59 Cadillac Ambulance, with blue light (battery in the base....) and sctretcher.... All fond memories.
WOW! - Sounds like you had a great childhood and plenty of model cars to play with too! - I hope I have helped you to remember some of the forgotten memories of your youth. I must admit that every now and again, a small part of my brain is reactivated and a new memory comes to the surface! - Thanks for posting, all the best, Marty.
No need to apologize for any wait, mate. You deserve a holiday! Even a short break can reinvigorate your desire to get on with restorations. That said, I'm glad you are back - I've missed you and your entertaining videos.
Wotcha, Marty What a lovely theme at this Valentine’s holiday - construction vehicles building a future together and the home of ones dreams! How clever!
Great video to start off my Sunday. Great work as always. My father drove a motor grader when I was a kid in the 60s so watching you work on these pieces reminds me of the days we'd go out and eat lunch with him on the job site. Sure sorry those gulls ate the dog. Love the stories I see in those gossip magazines you paint on.
Wow that loader is a 'Hatra' bit of a Holy grail among classic loader collectors...I remember watching West German Army Engineers using them, they were different in the the whole bucket and arms section could be moved through an arc facilitating loading in very tight spaces.
Welcome back Marty, its always a pleasure to see how you progress in perfection on each new project. And i,m always stunned by the looks after the finishing touch. Doctor MatchBox is a fact!
Everyone is doing cars, I know they are the most abundant, but I really love these other machines!!!!
nice to find another matchbox lover, i've collected them since i was a kid ,i'm 64 now and still love em!!
Dinkem Dumper is my favourite machine builder in the world. Thanks Marty for restoration this model and presentation after restoration.
Great idea with the nail punches! And a super job of restoring these two work horses.
Welcome home. Hope you guys a great and relaxing time. Great job on these trucks.
Breaks are the only thing that keeps you sane,enjoy all you take. Used to drive the model before that,the tractor had front wheels, so it was a six wheeler.
Great to have you back Marty! I missed your videos, I hope you enjoyed your vacation!

Lovely restoration... I always liked that Matchbox yellow. Really cheerful toys with the red touches. :)
Absolutely awesome restoration , Marty !!!!!!!!!!!!
The hydraulic ram at the coupling area is the steering mechanism, that explains how it steers with no steering wheels!
spot on
Nice to have you back. Great little project!
Thank you so much Marty for your wonderful videos. The weekly release shows up here on Sunday mornings, and always goes well with my morning cup of coffee. Cheers!

Giant gulls ate my dog. Awesome. Hope you had a great holiday. Great vid.

That’s exactly what they do.
😯🦅🐶 lol
Volvo do a similar 'Goose-Necked' dumper with the same steering, scary on a motorway!

Thanks for the idea of the paint brush clamps! I bought a box of 20 for my projects.
Hope you did have a nice holiday. Everyone needs that. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Your newspaper covers always crack me up.
No need to apologize Marty..
You and your wife need that holiday time...
Great video as always ..
Another ace job, Marty .. Looks like the holiday refreshed the old batteries ... The Master is back ....!! 👍🏻🤓
Excellent restorations!
they look great. they are ready to move some earth again. i hope you enjoyed your holiday.
Hi Marty, the hydrolic Rams on the trailer is actually the steering mechanism. Glad you're back bud.
Ohhh! Worth the wait! Everybody needs a vacation, yes. Splendid job on cleaning up those sun faded components. Have a great day over there!
Thanks Marty!
Your videos are always a great source of inspiration and great advice.
You are the best.

Very nice restorations. Both construction vehicles looks awesome. As always beautiful, interesting and entertaining video. Greetings from Germany.
Lovely job sir! Hope you and Julie had a nice break.
Good to see you back Marty 👍🏼. I restored one of these Dinkum Dumpers many months ago and enjoyed it too 😀
I cant imagine explaining to others how entertaining it is to watch someone restore tiny vehicles. Keep going.
Marty they look great. Hope Vacation was nice 👍🏻 👍🏻
Great work! Hope you enjoyed your trip.
Good to see your back and safe.
Yet another great video by the Matchbox God himself! 😍

Welcome back Marty nice to see that you haven't lost you knack, two nice restorations👍
Nice one Marty! Welcome back, and I hope you all had a good break! :-)
These two were worth the wait. They look great.
Welcome back Marty. Hope you had a great holiday
"GIANT GULLS ATE MY DOG". One of my favorite segments of Marty's videos is the paint booth scene when we get to see the newsprint title.
Glad you made it home safe and all. The cylinders on top of the dumper neck are the steering cylinders for that type of machine.
Very nice Muggy weld fix !
Absolute 'Fair Dinkum' Mate! Like the nail-punch technique too.

Cup of coffee, donut, and Marty's - recipe for a great Sunday morning.
Great video to start off my Sunday. Great work as always.

A great way to start the day - with a Marty's Makeover.
Olá Marty & Julie... Amei esse restauro, ficou excelente.. Muito Obrigado.. Valeu...Lauro Elias. - Brasil.
Wow that loader is a 'Hatra' bit of a Holy grail among classic loader collectors...I remember watching West German Army Engineers using them, they were different in the the whole bucket and arms section could be moved through an arc facilitating loading in very tight spaces.
Really cool restorations!
Those hydraulic cylinders at the pivot are for steering. Same as articulated farm tractors.
Hope you enjoyed your holiday at The Rock. This is a ripper video mate. Thanks again.
Welcome back Marty, its always a pleasure to see how you progress in perfection on each new project.
And i,m always stunned by the looks after the finishing touch.
Doctor MatchBox is a fact!
