CUSTOM RESTORATION OF ONE DINKY SUPER TOYS ELEVATOR LOADER No 964 AND A TIDY UP OF ANOTHER!

HI ALL, IN THIS VIDEO WE HAVE MY CUSTOM RESTORATION OF A DINKY SUPER TOYS BARBER-GREENE ELEVATOR LOADER AND A TIDY UP OF ANOTHER WHICH WAS ONE THAT WAS SENT TO ME BY THE LATE Mr. MARTIN DARE SOME TIME AGO. THESE TOYS WERE MODELLED ON THE ICONIC HEAVY-DUTY MACHINE BUILT BY THE AMERICAN BARBER-GREENE COMPANY, WHICH WAS PRIMARILY DESIGNED AS A SELF-PROPELLED OR TOWED BUCKET LOADER, IT WAS ENGINEERED TO SCOOPBULK MATERIALS LIKE GRAVEL, DIRTAND ASPHALT OFF THE GROUND AND ELEVATING THEM INTO DUMP TRUCKS. SORRY THIS IS A BIT OF A LONG ONE BUT IT WAS QUITE A LOT OF WORK TO SORT THESE MODELS OUT AND TOOK A LONG TIME, I DIDN'T WANT TO MISS OUT TOO MUCH OF THE RESTORATION BUT I DID EDIT A LOT OF FOOTAGE OUT AND THEN WENT BACK A SECOND TIME TO EDIT EVEN MORE OUT AS IT WAS STILL WAY TOO LONG, SO NOW IT IS A LOT SHORTER THAN IT WAS BUT STILL PRETTY LONG! ANYWAY, I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE VIDEO AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! TAKE CARE, BEST WISHES TO ALL, CRAPAUD NICK.
