Oh that Motorway set! I had one - a spring ran round the sentre of the track and a sticky piece of plastic was attached to the bottom of any of one's cars and it wasdragged round...there was quite a din, and the sticky thing didn't last long 😆

[@MrWolfSnack]

Luckily we have modern technology to rectify that. I bought some extremely strong glue dots, and they work well for holding the weight of a car. I can pull Matchbox Convoys trucks around. And I gave the spring some powdered graphite to make it not be so noisy.

Still loving it keeps me wanting more

3:20 the rear rivet has been drilled and re-peened. someone repaired that truck with corgi whizzwheels, the front wheels are still lesney. 18:32 the Superfast models with the black wheel clips are so you can remove the axles and replace them if they get destroyed (bent). this feature was quickly replaced because Lesney realized that having kids be able to take the wheels off became a dangerous choking hazard.

[@wtffor]

Thank you for that information, great historical notes for the collectors of this era! It's strange I haven't seen castings without wheels from that time period.

[@JustwingitRC]

Absolutely love this series brother, keep up the great work!!

[@wtffor]

I am glad you are enjoying the series!

[@chuckclough153]

Good catch on your part on the artwork on page 27 showing a SF version of #61 Alvis Stalwart. I watched for one in 1970, which never came out. Lesney did release a HTF yellow hub instead of the common green hub version though. Additionally, that same panel shows a SF #57 Land Rover Fire Truck. Though its replacement, the Eccles Caravan is shown as #57 in this catalog, the Fire Truck can be found with SF wheels. Though this catalog listed 13 models as "Non-Superfast," only six (16, 34, 39, 40, 61 and 65) remained that way. The other seven were converted during the course of the year, and as a kid I found that a bit confusing! Again, an excellent review of a year's catalog. This transitional year has become the favorite part of my MB collection!

[@wtffor]

Thanks for sharing all of the historical details and your knowledge about those cars!

[@bling1634]

That 1970s bundle was cool cause a lot of those cars were in the book

[@robbyscollectibles]

[@bentandre5524]

funny that the rolls royce is called coupe while its actually a convertible. really one of my favs with the possibillity of 3 missing parts...wheels and grill/frontbumper not included...

[@Yourmission9]

Dang brother you’ve got a 1:64 of Ecto-1 14 years before Ghostbusters even hit theaters

[@wtffor]

Very true!!!

[@RandyDarkshade2]

I have about 10 of those MErcedes SL's both Superfast and Regular wheels and two in yellow, each and everyone is missing the windscreen.

[@MBXKings58]

The service ramp was numbered A1 meaning Accessory Pack #1. Accessory Packs were a sub series of miscellenous items/models issued between 1957 and 1961. Here is the list: A1A Esso Petrol Pumps & Sign A1B BP Petrol Pumps & Sign A1C Service Ramp A2A Beford Car Transporter A3A Garage A3B Broom Stick A4A Road Signs A5A Home Stores

I love that you’re doing this. But I can’t want for you to get to the years that interest me (‘78-92).

Beginning of the Superfast era to compete against Hot Wheels

[@michaelquinones-lx6ks]

Little did ''MATCHBOX'' realized twenty five years later MATTEL would take them over as well as the CORGI brands.

[@MrWolfSnack]

Matchbox had a very bad time at the end of the 1980s. They were sold to Universal and then Universal sold them to Tyco and then Tyco sold them to Mattel.

[@michaelquinones-lx6ks]

@@MrWolfSnack Ironic isn't it, And thank you very much for answering my comment.
