MATCHBOX Restoration No. 35A Marshall Horse Box 1957

- Fishing 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.

Happy New Year to all of you Matchbox enthusiasts out there!
Thank you, I hope 2024 is a better year for all of us.
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..
Happy new year Marty, hope its a great one.
I hope life continues as normal for you in Australia. Here in the states our future is not so secure. We are up to our necks with crazy people.

YA ! You found the rest of the video. Thank you. Watch out for Kevin, see to it that the GIANT BATS do not get the little guy.
Yep, sorry for the delay. The first video was only half rendered when it said it was ready to upload! - I was watching it myself when I realised there was only half a show!!
Great and respectful work and lovely dogs!
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 .
Marty your channel should be called Marty’s Magic Makeovers! You are the best Matchbox restorer on UA-cam. 😊
Good to see you back - Happy New Year! Say hi to Kevin…
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
Its good to learn what the name meant, I always wondered, thank you for that. 🙂
Short or long, it's great to see your videos again.
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
Great tip Mike, thanks, I will try it out and pass on the info in my next vid with metal wheels.
Great to see a new video from you, Marty. Thanks!
Very enjoyable. Thanks Marty, good job.
Can't get bored watching you and Kevin do the magic which bring back happy memories of one's childhood.😊😊😊😊😊😊
Happy new year from Canada!
You made my NYE, thanks.
A Happy New Year to you Marty. The logo E R F stands for Ernest Robert Foden, who was the brother of the founder of Foden Trucks.
Glad your back you do good work 👍🏻👍🏻
YAY! new Marty video to start the new year!
Lovely job Marty - have a read up on the history of Foden and ERF trucks. Edwin Richard Foden resigned from Foden after a long boardroom row (8 years!) about where the future lay in engines in heavy trucks. He backed diesels - the board backed steam. He left, set up his own company using his initials as the name and was proved correct. The Foden name disappeared in 1998, and ERF in 2007.
ERF is EDWIN Richard Foden.
Happy new year to you and everyone else.
a happy new year to you too, from old Germany... this horse box Matchbox modell was the first model, I can rember... I was born in 1960...
you make good jobs...
Saludos desde el pais de la eterna primavera Guatemala centroamerica excelente restauracion
Happy New Year!!! I'd like to see around the homestead again :)
Happy New Year Marty, Julie, Kevin, and to all your critters - y'all take care & best wishes from Sugar Land, Texas, USA.
Happy New Year
Happy New Year everyone
Marty I’m almost 70 and I had this model when I was a kid you’ve brought back so many memories … Happy New Year 🇬🇧
Awesome restore work on that beautiful little horse box!
Love the giant bat story in the paper!
Happy New Year. I hope you have a New Year's resolution to make more videos in 2024. My resolution is to do my first Matchbox makeover.
Great restoration and what a treat for the end of 2023.
From your favourite Matchbox era, well done!
And a happy New Year (wish we had your weather and temperatures in the Netherlands)😮
Nicely done, guv'nor and good to see you again! Happy New Year to you and yours 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
nicely done, very clean. :) and once again, amazing how many details they put into these small castings. :) no wonder Matchbox has become synonymous to die-cast toy vehicles here in germany.
also interesting how many of those ancient things have survived. you can find some still at the flea markets. like recently, a routemaster bus No5B, only one window frame missing, rusty axles, for a mere euro... I'll give it away I think, most likely to Jason from england, helping him to complete his collection. ^^
I hope shipping fees to down under will become cheaper again one day soon; I have things to redistribute.
Happy new year to your family! and it was nice seeing Kevin dancing. ;)
happy new year Marty and family all the best for 2024 ..but your already nearly one day into it ...from london uk
Thank you Marty. This one is probably my most cherished models in the early Lesney line. I received it when I was five years old and it still is one of the jewels of my collection. And the side door is still there !
I wish you and your family (including Kevin and the dogs) a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year 2024 !
Polk County, that is a Des Moines, Iowa car license plate ! I been to and through Des Moines, Iowa multiple times.
Sorry if someone has answered this but it looks like the handle and foot holds allow access to a storage compartment in the overhang. Looked like there was a small door and handle. Great job allows enjoy your videos.
I love it.
Happy New Year 🎉
To reface your grind stones for your dremel clone. Run the old stone against the stone on your bench grinder. Both tools running of course. That'll reface them with a new square edge. As for your storage choice for mixed paint, you use tamiya, which comes in a glass jar. Once the paint in the jar is all used up, soak the jar in lacquer thinner to remove all the old paint and bingo, perfect, reusable mixing jar.
Happy New Year’s. Hope to see more of your videos soon.
Hopefully this new year turns out to be as good as your restoration . Fantastic job as always.
The handles might be for either a tether or for hanging hay?!? Happy New Year 🎉
Glad to see a new video, been needing my MMM fix. Happy new year Marty and all.
Good morning, Marty! Thank you for sharing this makeover with us. Happy New Year to you and your family! May the Good Lord bless you with continued success and prosperity.
Well done Marty and Happy New Year! Be careful of those high flying bats.
Hadn't seen you for awhile, found this on New Years Eve here in Michigan. Happy New Year to ya!
10.39 I was told it was Mazac. It was also used for cheap bathroom accessories but was a poor choice near water.
Great resto Marty! nice to see you posting the Matchbox content again. Happy New Year!
Thanks for the new video! Great restoration as usual. Your attention to detail is quite inspiring. Happy New Year to all.
In the UK the metal was known as MAZAK ,very pure 99% zinc . Impurities in zinc can cause the diecast model to almost crumble I believe?
Happy New Year Marty.
Love all your videos you bring back a lot of childhood memories, My cousin and I had so many Matchbox vehicles.
ERF was a British truck manufacturer established in 1933 by Edwin Richard Foden, from whose initials the company was named. He broke away from the original Foden company who made steam trucks as Edwin believed the future of the lorry-building industry lay in diesel engine power; the Foden boardroom did not agree, and consequently he resigned and formed ERF. ERFs were marketed under the Western Star badge in Australia.
Next I will do a hot wheels Ferrari restoration on my channel, hopefully I can get good results like you🔥🔥🔥
Would love to find a real one and convert it into a camper van
I got 500 matchbox hot wheels etc would love to dump somewhere free… Even a few ….sone where from my childhood I don’t want to collect anymore….bob
I saw the body in a second hand store 3days ago along with several other matchbox vehicles. Then this showed up today. Weird
@10:53 -- Giant bats this week?
What -- the circus people and aliens are taking a break from wreaking havoc on the rest of us?!?
Edwin Richard Foden.
Great restoration marty good to see the full video so again wishing you and Julie a happy new year 🎉
Many thanks Marty, Marty.
**** There's a compartment in the overhead, that's why the handle is there. ****
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! 🙂
Never appoligze for showing how you do things. You always make it so interesting. Happy New years Marty! Another amazing transformation.
Moin and G'day from Cuxhaven 👋🏻
What a great show at the end of the year.
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.

😎👍🏼🇦🇺🎆🥂🎆🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
🎉Happy new year to you, your wife and Kevin!
😊
Thanks so much ;)
Eric Richard Foden. He separated from his dad (of Foden) and opened a new factory at the opposite end of Sandbatch. Dad didn't believe that diesel engines were going to be the future - Eric disagreed and set up ERF.
I have this model in much better condition. I think I was 5 or 6 when I got it.
Wonderful result Marty. It's always amazing how much work is required to restore even the simplest of models.
It looks to me like there's some extra flashing in the upper portion of the truck cab's window, indicating a heavily worn mould and reducing their apparent size just a little.
ERF ! The letters were pronounced separately not as a word ❤
Happy new year Marty. Never apologize on your videos of simple models. Your witty narration is what distinguishes from other restorers.
Great work, love it. The excellence of the original casting on the body section that you highlighted is in stark contrast to the after market horse ramp! Happy New Year 👍
Finally you're back. Happy NY everybody there. "Giant bats attack planes. Government cover up" 😂🤣
Glad to see a new post! Great restoration. That is a cool little truck
I had forgotten how relaxing these videos can be to have playing while I am working. Great to come back and realise how many videos I have to now consume to catch up! Happy New Year to you and yours!
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…
Hooray! I was hoping recently that Marty would get off his ahem *CHAIR* and do another upload! Happy New Year Marty and all viewers too! 👍👍 atb snack.
E.R. Foden- my Dad drove loads of Fodens...the first vehicle I learnt to drive at age 11 was a Foden.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Marty!
Happy New Year Marty. A very pleasing video. The background music is so therapeutic. Hand in hand with your narration voice. Your dogs have such a wonderful homestead.
Happy New Year Marty. 🎉
Happy New Years, Mr. Marty. It's Great to end out the Year with a new Video from you!
Hey I think I have one of those. And yup, I probably lost the horses. !:- )
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
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.
Marty this is such a treat to end the year, great job and video as always, also I always look forward to the head lines at your paint booth its always an interesting touch. Happy New Year to you and all who is important to you.
12:03 - Again, I believe the handles are used when climbing the footholds. You can see that there’s another handle and foothold to the right by the door.
Interesting - here in the states, we call those shifters, "crescent wrenches" - greetings from Dallas, TX 🙂

Happy New Year Marty!!! 😁👍👍
Happy New Year, Marty and family! Love your channel, may you have a blessed and joyful 2024!
Glad I got up early. Made my day.
Happy New Year and thank you for another beautiful restoration, Marty!
Great job as always. Happy new year to you and you're family, Carsten from Thailand
Always good to see a MMM video, length does not matter ! Hope you and yours are doing well this holiday season. If you cared to see of the wheels are metal you could try a magnet perhaps, I am unsure of the composition of the metal used. The details on this one made it a delight to see it restored. There is beauty in simplicity.
Happy to see you :) cool video :) happy new year :)
Yay! I think you and Kevin do the best diecast restorations!
Happy to see you back with a final 2023 video. Happy New Year to you, Julie, Kevin and the rest of the family! 😊
I personally enjoy the repetition. There is a certain zen about it. Thanks for another great tutorial. Happy new year.
