Matchbox Matters.

 Our old friends the Matchbox Toys are as seen previously, a source of vehicles for us 3Millers.
These two photos show two of the original 75 series.
Both are Bedfords-the Breakdown Truck-Number 13 and the  Removal Van on which my examples number has been obiterated by glazing.
The wreck Truck on the right came to me without a crane. I remember these as ex-army types with scaffold poles used to form a makeshift hoist which I have tried to replicate using brass wire. The left hand example is as original with a hook made by me as the fitted one was missing.

The Removal van is just a repaint and some glazing added, wheels painted and thats about it- I should replace the axles, they do give the origin away somewhat.
