    At work we call that truck a (mobile) boom winch, because the boom telescopes out, and the hook is attached to a winch. It only has left-right swing, and up-down lift. If it had its own tracks in the ground, with the ability to traverse back-forth, it would then be a gantry crane.

    You really have a nice Lesney collection. Trucks were my favorite as a kid, but really hard to come by without being broken. I always thought Matchbox made a truer to life scale model than Hot wheels, but certain ones won over. They can be called a "truck crane" without fear of reprisal, lol. a modern term is "boom truck", but "mobile crane" is what my father called it.

I have quite a few of these to restore. I may consider going Code 3 on some of them. I have recently discovered Marty’s Matchbox Motors and he also made a tool similar to yours (using two nails) for mushrooming the ends of the axles.

    Thank you for this amazing tutorial!! This No.30 is very special to me because this is my very first matchbox toy that I’ve ever owned. My dad bought it for me when I was between 5-8 years old. Secondly, I was born in 1965 so is this No.30. As usual I lost the original one decades ago but I can still remember how much of a good time I had with it. Luckily I managed to found a nos with a box from eBay a few years ago. When I received it the second time around, I had tears running down my face when I had this no.30 in my hand... looking forward to see more of your videos. Best regards!

    Going with silver on the crane section really set this one off.....in fact, I thought it even made it look less like a “toy”. I received my first Matchbox in 1964: still have it, along with 200 others in official Matchbox carrying cases. Have to dig those out one day and see just what kind of condition they are in. Keep up with these zen-like videos....better than meditation!

    Great job, man. I'm getting back into scale modelling, and will be using some of the techniques I've learned from you to color in small details such as the chrome pen, using a sharpie for red lights, and turtle wax for polishing. Most importantly, I'm going into it with the same easygoing mindset you exemplified in this video of painting the toy in colors you wanted to see instead of rigidly adhering to historical accuracy. Thanks for the inspiration :)
