Chipped, wheels missing, and no ladder. This model had a crude ladder. The holes in the bodywork suggest that there may have been a plan to fit it with appliances and ladder. This will be my attempt to recreate what the ladder may have looked like. The restriction will be the size of the box. There may have been a separate box or a different box, but the original box had images of all 4 models available under the name Toby Toys.

Remember those toys cars from your childhood, or perhaps your fathers or grandfathers toys.
They are very collectable now even in poor condition. I have been restoring them to give them a new lease of life
using basic tools. I am sharing some of my best tips and showing some of the restorations to help you do the same. The collections includes Dinky, Corgi and rare makes such as Toby Toys, Gilco, Gaity, Kemlow, Londontoy etc.
