- Hello and welcome to episode 4 of Trash to Track.
In this episode we take a 50 year old down at heel Hornby Dublo Breakdown crane and try and restore it back to operational condition.
Music credit for the ‘breakdown theme’ is To Upside now whos channel can be found here.

Thanks for this video I have hornby plastic crane but watching this, I’ve decided I will purchase a hornby dublo one for my three rail layout it looks brilliant when completed so many thanks, Colin.
What a brilliant example of trash to treasure. I'm quite sure that anyone would be extremely proud to have this crane in their collection. Your choice of music to underscore the video was just excellent. I have never had the patience to apply decals, but you make it look like child's play. Congratulations on a spectacular finished product.
Super restore. Hints of Marty's Matchbox Makeovers in this video. 😊😊👍👍👍
Thanks, i have learnt alot from Marty.
You would think but was a new model now. I have very much enjoyed watching your videos during my week of incapacitation -hockey related injury.
Hello there, 1 / this is an excellent restoration for train running purposes. For those viewers lacking a hook, Bachmann sell their crane hook as a spare ! 2 / The prototype No.133 was one of four for the LNER, one of which ended up with the War Department, survived in the UK post WW2, and was painted grey, with white detailing. The WD cranes travelled on BR for overhaul, so that would make a nice variation. There is a photo ( Plate 42 ) of WD 7149 at Leicester Central Shed in Colin Walker's "Main Line Lament" ( OPC,1973 ), though this looks like a smaller, 30 ton crane. 3 / I really liked the careful method you demonstrated of removing the various pins, and making allowance for the re-instatement.I also think the size of thread you have used is appropriate, as these cables were surprisingly thick. 4 / I also appreciate the pre 1959 black colour scheme with the original cycling lion emblem. Of the various articles I have read on breakdown cranes, local customised painting of black cranes was common ( except, for some reason, on the WR ! ) , mixed traffic lining, cursive script ( instead of BR std Gill Sans ) cast iron notice plates maybe coloured with black or white lettering, new Safety signs in white or yellow, hand wheels coloured either white or red, so a bit of variation was not uncommon. 5 / When safety all over Red came in 1959, that overall colour requirement effectively prevented much variation, and the post 1966 all over safety yellow appears to have been applied consistently, though this was also a result of breakdown cranes later being centrally controlled. These days railways rarely own breakdown cranes, as road cranes for hire are now common, due to widespread use in the construction industry, and the ability to hire a road crane with specialised staff on an as required basis. 6/ great video, best wishes and regards form Australia.
A wonderful job , well done.
Use the edge of a tissue to wick away the worst of the water before rolling. Thanks for the videos .. this is the best so far.
Beautiful job. I really appreciated seeing all the detail when the grey primer was on. You can really admire the work that was put into them by the designers at Hornby all them decades ago.
hi, these cranes were made by Meccano ltd Binns rd Liverpool,thank god hornby did not make them, so its well done Meccano engineers, i had one in 1961,
@@petersmith4455 thanks for the correction.
Good work on this; Dublo and Wrenn stuff has been tickling my fancy lately and this certainly increases that.
I’d be surprised if a purist were to dare comment as it’s given an otherwise unusable and undesirable model - thanks to old simplex couplings and general condition - a new lease of life that doesn’t look out of place in a collector’s cabinet or a well built layout, which is something I always applaud. Looks like it runs freely too which is a bonus; From a distance one wouldn’t assume it’s over half a century old, being tugged about by that Black Five.
Very inspiring work considering the low cost of Dublo rolling stock… 16T minerals and the like can be had for a couple of quid a piece! Lots of promise in the old things.
Hi Dan, A great video and attention to detail. Thank You and Well Done. T🚂
Wow... what a fantastic video. Proper job is that! Soooo pleased to see the real thing too! Definatley going to change the couplings on mine.. thanks for all the info and inspiration!
All the best. Martin
Well done there Dan.
You've done a good job on the crane
Watched your layout running before,and that is excellent.
Keep up the good work!!!!!
Regards
Nigel

hi great video and restoration, i had one in the early 60s, a great christmas present for us children from the 60s, an N2 steam loco was used to tow around,i now have one as a reminder of good times,
the hook and jib top are painted white for night time visibility as many jobs the crane would have done lifting infrastructure etc would be done at night when there was no traffic the hook and tip were painted white so they could also tell where they were in relation to each other at night
As a keen follower of diecast restorations, I really enjoyed seeing those techniques applied to this beautiful Meccano crane. If I ever get the chance to work on one of these, I will be re-watching this and following your processes. (It's also good to see I'm not the only one who splits decals, but you recovered well!). And your addition of an almost identical prototype, was class! Looking forward to lots more Trash2Track in future. Great effort, Dan. Well done. Cheers, Jim L
Good job, it's got years of life left in it.
Great workmanship
Brilliant job well done.
Lovely job!
Any chance of a layout tour one day? The glimpses seen during return journey of the breakdown crane have piques my interest to see some more of it.
Hope the 20 passed its Fitness to Run inspection after its derailment? Didn’t see any PW out to inspect the track, but they were probably sat in the van, drinking tea and playing cards…
Best wishes from Wirral!
A very nice job. Well done. I have restored several of these cranes in the past as I think they are far superior to the Hornby ones and a damned sight cheaper than the Bachmann one. Unlike you though I did restore mine as they were originally made. As they say horses for courses.
But the Bachman one really pushes the boundaries for detail and realism I don't mind paying that kind of money for it .
You've done a beautiful job of it good vedio as well .
I've just got the same crane minus the stabilizing legs .
I plan to restore my one as it came out of the factory paint it flat red .
If I can find another one my plan is to keep it red and super detail it as per the real thing in your vedio .
Fantastic job. Looks amazing.
Wow, nice work.
Are the tips not painted white so people can see where they are when they are moving?
Have you considered conductive thread as an alternative to thread and sting for the ropes?
Very nice restoration.
Looks amazing well worth the effort you put in to it brilliant thankyou for the video
Excellent
loved it
Great video. I never realised how much detail there was on the crane, although mine does not need restoring. I liked the footage of the real crane and it gave me some ideas for disguising the jacks by coal, spreader, etc. By the way I think most Dublo fans call it Dub-lo, not Doo-blo, although some auction TV shows seem to use Doo-blo.
Very nice work
i must say your videos are excellent to watch , how ever i am sorry to say that the reoccuring back ground music is very annoying and is quite off putting , please dont be offended its just my humble opinion
Hi, i do remove the music from the videos going froward from about the 5th or 6th episode.
hi i have just got to episode 5 lol ,
