- What a magnificent model! - This miniature excavator is like nothing else that I have done. An amazing little toy that must have been a joy to receive back in 1959 when it came out. With multiple moving parts and tracked wheels I can imagine that it would have been a 'must have' in the sandpit out the back. I love it!

Bu-sigh-Rus. Nice work Marty
I felt you pain with the scissors and the sandwich bags. Couldn't agree more about the scissors..
I always look forward to a MMM video! Thank you Marty!
My pleasure Mike!
Your dioramas at the end are always fantastic.
If I may, I would recommend my favourite brand of scissors, OLFA.
Cracking result, Marty!
The Bucyrus Foundry and Manufacturing Company was founded in Bucyrus, Ohio, in 1880.
Bucyrus (bew-SY-rəs) Erie (later Bucyrus International) was a mining and excavation company that produced heavy plant equipment. It is now owned by Caterpillar.
In 1930, Bucyrus joined with Ruston & Hornsby in Lincoln, England to become Ruston-Bucyrus in England.
I have a Dinky or Corgi version of this which has thumbwheels to articulate the bucket and jib. It’s in a sorry state and needs restoration!
My dad worked for Taylor Woodrow in the UK in the 1960s/70s.
As did mine, between 1956 and 1970.
😊the first thing I thought of when I saw the Taylor Woodrow decal was my late Dad, he worked for them during the late 50’s early 60’s.
Great works as always, Marty.
I pronounce that one word as
"Byoo Sigh Russ."
Great job Marty! Keep them coming.
🐨WE WANT KEVIN!🐨
I can see a skit where Kevin jumps into the excavator, scoops Marty up in the bucket and drops him somewhere unpleasant! 😅
Gotta be wary of those wee Drop Bears! 😂
Another excellent restoration!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Thanks Paul!
🐨WE WANT KEVIN!🐨@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers
If you have milk bottles or jam jars, you can use these to sharpen scissors on them.
"BEAR WITH ME" too good!
Nice job once again! Thank you ethisch lovely video. 👍🏻
Great job as normal Mate!
Thanks for that Marty. Best wishes to Kevin.
que bueno verte de nuevo, se te extrañaba
Very nice work. I can see Kevin at the controls.
Hi from Stockholm, Sweden! Glad to see your vids again Marty! Excellent as usual. 😀👍🏼
marty, dieselcreek(here on youtube) have a real bucyrus excavater. in the back compartment was the clutches; engine, and cabledrums for the excavator. because it was a cable machine.
Great job as always. Please keep making these videos
Beautiful work as always.
Marty, I like when you show all of the brushing on of the paint remover and all of the brushing it off. There is something ver satisfying about it.
Looking forward to 'Marty"s Hands Makeover' 😅
Great video 👍
Hi Marty! I can only imagine the time and effort you put into such a lovely finished product as your videos. They are always a joy to watch. Fun little outtakes at the end.
What a challenge but as usual you managed it very well. Thank you and greetings from Germany
always a treat when you post a video.
Thank you Marty for another pleasant Saturday morning in New York City enjoying one of your relaxing videos to start my day. Always love your work.
Marty, check out pegboard locks for your shop's pegboard. Pegitz is one brand, though I'm sure there are others. If you try them out, make sure you get the right size (I think they primarily come in 1/4 and 1/8 inch). They were a game changer for my pegboards.
Marty, the issue with the paint can have various reasons: different types of base coats and paints (acqueous, acrylic, lacquer), parts of the model still greasy, etc.
And... "computer virus spreads to humans" lmao. Actually it's already happened: read smartphones. Made everyone totally dumb and hypnotized. "The world's only reliable newspaper" LOL. It cracks me up. Cheers.
Thank you for sharing your craft with us. That detergent in the water tip is awesome.
Thank you Marty. A new video from you is always a treat. Your hands are beautiful and something to be proud of. Genuine workingman's digits.
You got there in the end marty, that paint was fighting you all the way ,it's a nice little model when completed. All the best Martin
God, that was stressful. I felt for you Marty, but what a cracking model at the end. .
Another Saturday morning treat from you.
Shocked to hear that with the new screw you had to go deeper than normal with no lubrication. 🤭
👏👏👍👍
Very nice. I don't have any Major Packs, always wanted them. I'd be nervous about rebuilding one though... I'd hate to stuff one up.
Hello Marty great restoration looks wonderful
Nicely done cheer Michael
Where’s Kevin? After your presentation, he’s the star of the vid for me 😃
Nice work on the Excavator, Sometimes the treads get worn out through playing, and as for the Paints they probably work with different paint primers, and as for you scissors maybe you should go to a different retailer to see if they have anything that does a better job cutting through plastic bags.
Marty!! We got to do something about those hands, man!! They look like you’ve been fighting with a wood chipper again!
Nice make over. I got lost & as you were drilling out the tap hole I habitually blew at my phone to remove the shavings. Remember when you took that big honking whiff off that Tony' s Cajun Seasoning?
What a treat! Perfect timing for morning coffee, thanks Marty!
Marty!!!
Top notch camera work. I don't know how he does it??
Never seen this model, great little toy, ever figure out if it was the primer /paint incompatibility ? Would hate to have the same thing happen again. Awesome makeover!
Oh, come on!😂 Just resharp the scissor blades by cutting aluminium foil. That should help.👍🏻✂️
The Ruston-Bucyrus 22-RB is a 20 ton class tracked machine available as both a drag-line and front-bucket excavator. A variant was produced as a truck mounted crane. The drag-line and truck mounted versions had a skeleton boom. A video of a 22-RB working can be found at: ua-cam.com/video/_2RXsOie6RM/v-deo.htmlsi=XFF0-pvVC2YjZLvJ
As ever, great restoration fella.
Use a scalpel or a sharp knife on your cutting board for cutting ends off plastic bags, much easier than pound store scissors.
It's pronounced Bu-cy-rus, not Buc -a-rus. This came with 2 different sized decals. Also different colored tread . Great to see another of your great videos.
Your a good restorer but protect your fingers they look inflamed please do thanks for your content.
Those tracks always rot out from just being in the air. I have several tracked Matchboxes and ALL need new tracks.
The track's damage was due to dry-rotting
Never apologize for those monster mitts of yours, Marty. You earned 'em fair and square. No shame in it.
For sure! Best hands on the internet :)
Anyone who follows Marty’s channel knows that he is extremely competent at DIY (if DIY is the right word). There is always something that needs doing - even more so when you’ve not long moved into a new house.
I’d be more triggered if your hands were perfect - something would be wrong.
Strong hands capable of surgical precision.
yeah i got girly hands since i do computer restores but my grandma had rough hands with all the hard kitchen work she did.. its all good marty
Having some gnarly 2XL hands myself, I can relate! You have honest working man's hands. 😎👍
Another great video Marty, bollocks to anyone who says anything about your hands, good honest working mans hands
I am SO HAPPY you are back making videos Marty. I never forgot about you this whole time, always waiting and hoping that you were ok and that you would return. I deal with severe depression and there's not much that makes me smile and laugh anymore, but your videos always lift my spirits. Thank you for sharing your hobby with us. I knew you were a good soul on the unboxing video when you started crying. Take care Marty.
Interestingly, Taylor Woodrow was a home-building firm in England, and my late father (who died on Fathers' Day last year) was their Chief Architectural Draftsman before 1970 when we emigrated to Australia. So you have certainly attracted my attention and possibly caused me to start searching for this model.
Ruston-Bucyrus Ltd was an engineering company established in 1930 and jointly owned by Ruston & Hornsby based in Lincoln, England, and Bucyrus-Erie based in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the latter of which had operational control and into which the excavator manufacturing operation of Ruston & Hornsby was transferred. The Bucyrus Company proper, from which the Bucyrus component of the Ruston-Bucyrus name was created, was an American company founded in 1880, in Bucyrus, Ohio. (Source: Wikipedia).
For many years, my late father worked in civil engineering. A big treat, when I was a kid, was to go to work with him, at a weekend, or in the school holidays. Now, this was in the early 1970's, and, although safety rules were in place, they were nowhere near as rigorous as they are today - even if the nine year old me was painted dayglo orange and fitted with strobe lights, I wouldn't even be allowed on site nowadays. But then, it was muddy and fun. Dad was fully qualified to operate any of the machinery used, and I always knew, at some point, we'd watch a machine working, and he'd turn to me, with a smile on his face, and he'd say:
"D'ye fancy a go?"
My answer was always:
"Yes!"
That's how I came to opeate the dragline version of the 22-RB. I did drive a Priestman face shovel (Corgi made one), which looks very similar to this face shovel.
Dad let me drive loads of stuff, but always with the rule of:
"Don't tell your Mother."
I never did.
Lovely restoration of a model I have now got to seek out for myself.
Thank you, Marty.
Nice one. 👍👍👍
Hey Brian, my youth was very similar in the 70s and early 80s. I think that we probably had an innate sense of safety back then that the kids of today don't. Sure, I'd have a whale of a time exploring and doing things I probably shouldn't have, but was always careful and never had an accident. Weekends were always quiet on-site back then. When I got older he got me holiday jobs with the sub-contractors which is where I learned to operate JCBs and 360s. But when I left college I went into computing.
He never mentioned it, but I was always sure he was a little disappointed.
I loved those days and would give anything to go back and spend that time with him again.
Cheers ✌️
Great story, thanks for sharing! Westernkind is amazing all over the world!
Marty, we have a brick plant in Hanover, Ohio that still uses those types of shovels. The door opposite the cabin would give access to the winch system for the cables. The drivers cabin door would have slid back. Would love to send some pictures of one they restored.
Greetings from Canada, Marty. That is a beauty of a restoration. I happen to have two of these models and the rear decal is different on them. Where I live, there used to be a Bucyrus- Erie factory that made these shovels. Across the road was the Euclid factory that made the quarry trucks.
I love the attention and care you take to produce these videos where you film and explain everything as you go....good or bad. The secondary angles and scene shoots are so much more interesting than just looking at an overhead shot of the workbench. Must take you twice as long but really worthwhile. Keep it up
Thankyou for your feedback, I am pleased to hear that you appreciate the time taken to make these short videos!
“Computer virus spreads to humans” from “The World’s Only Reliable Newspaper”😂
I’ve got to ask… where did you get the mini Surgical grindstone from?
I tried searching the web and in typical web search fashion I got “how to grow mushrooms in 30days”😳
Couldn’t help but think about Mike Mulligan & His Steam Shovel😊
I went to an American Truck Historical Society show, and on of the attendees had a 1950s-era truck with a lowboy trailer carrying an old steam shovel. He had painted up the whole combination to look like the truck, trailer and shovel from 'Mike Mulligan.' I took pictures, but this was 20-some years ago and they were taken on an analog camera which was still in my car when it was stolen. I'm sure there are photos of it online somewhere, though.
I love that story! I remember when Capt. Kangaroo would read it, and I made sure I read it to my kids as well.
For what it's worth, I've found that once one pair of scissors has mauled a bit of plastic bag without cutting it, even a nice pair has trouble cutting in the same spot. I always have to start a new cut somewhere else.
That’s a beautiful model, Marty, a real eye candy. There is so much going on for such a small package haha
Regarding the access doors on the 22RB, the real McCoy has 2 at the back for the engine, 2 on port side for the pulley/winding mechanism and one on starboard, where the cabin window is, that slides inside like you’d see on a milk truck. The square shape that look like a window, that’s where the louvered engine vent should be.
Let's hope that wasn't chewing gum in that bucket, Marty 😮😂
Those are "working mans hands" as my father would say. 😄
Your spray booth headlines are always amusing, thank you for that. I've either seem or owned several models that you restore but I'm unfamiliar with this one. I'm a 1964 model myself and I certainly need to be restored. My paint is chipped an missing and I don't roll right. lol Hello from southeast Tennessee USA.
Haha! I'm a '57 model myself, and long past warranty. I could use a good restoration. 😅
"Loosing track" on a tracked vehicle. Nice pun!! I'm happy with that !!.
Hello from USA 🇺🇸. Good seeing you
Hello Marty from S Wales UK and thank you for breathing new life into these models
I've always pronounced it byoo·sai·ruhs
That's how I pronounce it, too.
I lived in Bucyrus, OH for a short time -- less than a year in the mid-1970s. The company whose name was incorporated into this engineering firm was founded in Bucyrus (OH) in 1880.
"...brute force and no lubrication". LOL.
LOL. The outtakes are always the best! Fine restoration.
Bucyrus is pronounced Bew-si-rus
Excellent job, Marty. Thanks for showing what does not go well. I think (as others have said) it has a soft "c" like Mylie Cyrus. It's a lovely looking model. All the best, Mart in England.
Excellent job as usual.. Ps I've seen zombies with better looking hands than that. 😂😂😂😉😉
That gunk in the bucket looks like Playdoh to me, but you are probably right Marty
I thought it might be chewed bubble gum.
So in South Africa, Britain, Australia, etc we all played with plasticine which is similar to play dough (though it’s oil based). Living in the US now I have never seen it here.
Marty, this was a real fun one. It has been a long time since I did a Matchbox and you motivated me to pull one out. It should be out soon. Your videos are always the highlight of my Saturdays!
Thankyou Paul for your support. Glad you liked it!
I spent 18 months putting the roof on HM Prison Brinsford near Wolverhampton Uk with the main contractor being Taylor Woodrow in the late 80’s.
Same here I use wiss scissors @ work they are great. That was an awsome make over.
I hope your hands are better soon. They are NOT offensive, I just hope you are well. By the way, nice job excavating the excavator! 😊
Got the same model off ebay last year in pretty fair shape, minus the tracks which I printed in dark blue TPU on my 3d printer. It's absolutely beautiful sitting in my display in my shop. Like others have said: Bucyrus=either bew-sigh'-rus or buh-sigh'-rus.
Brilliant model, something very different to the usual cars and lorries and tricky to handle! But you did a great job. Search YT for an old UK TV program called Salvage Squad, they restore an RB10 and give loads of history on the machine.
I'm feeling you, Marty: Putting on decals is the worst, especially when they're either really big, really small, really old, really fiddly, or really rare and you don't have more. So, in short, always anxiety inducing for me.
I really like your result, though: I'm happy with that!
Don’t throw the scissors away they can be sharpened. We’ve got a knife sharpener (wasn’t expensive) and a couple of strokes through that, the blades on my £1 shop scissors are razor sharp.
Brilliant job - as always. 👍
Beautiful Results on the Shovel, Mr. Marty! Take care of your hands as best as you can. My Thumbs are under attack by Ol' Arty. Big pain in the Keister. Take Care!
Hollow and thanks from 🇿🇦
Marty, on your vise jaws, get another set of L-channel aluminum strips and contact cement a piece of leather, 1/8" thick to each side. The leather will grip whatever you are holding in the vise and not mar it.
I think that you used all of your luck up when you were sent this model, donated. You lucky person you. I've never been able to obtain one but after this weeks show, I am determined to get my hands on one...or two. You need to do the Scammell with Crane Frauhauf prime mover now to transport it. Nice work Marty.
How is Kevin doing? Didn´t see him, so does he stick in the cement Platform in your Garden? Greetings from Germany.
Bu-Cy-Rus. They also made the Saturn V transporter for NASA
Ruston Bucyrus was one of the first major manufacturers of earth moving machinery. Many of their early machines were steam or diesel powered draglines for mining and dredging (rather than construction).
They were made famous through a series of advertisements drawn by illustrator William Heath Robinson (today the most famous of the Robinson brothers, although during their lifetime, Charles was the best known).
If you want to see the Ruston Bucyrus adverts, they can be found in the collection "The Gentle Art of Advertising" which has been republished multiple times.
I've had good luck with Wiss scissors, at work I cut alot of sheet plastic, and I use them 12 hours a day, I've had a pair that lasted 5 years. They even cut those metal bands used to band things together with. Get the titanium ones for best results
I have a cheap three-pack I got off Amazon, and they work great for card stock and styrene sheet, for my scale models. 👍
I have a cheap three-pack from Amazon that I use for cutting card stock and styrene sheet, for scale modeling. Works great. 👍
Great rebuild Marty. That one gave you some fits, Loved it. Weird how the paint curdled on the cab etc.
From what I understand, the name is pronounced: "Byoo-sai-ruhs".
Hi Marty, as usual I like your videos. A small tip for you, use a sharp knife instead that always work.👍👍
Oils from your hands can dirty the model when you are examining them after they are primed. They can lead to the issue you had while painting the russet color. Perhaps you should wear rubber gloves?
