PILEN - Historia
"Pilen nació en Ibi (Alicante) a finales de los 60, creada por Pilar y Enrique Climent (de ahí Pil-En); éste ya comercializaba en compañía de sus hermanos los juguetes Clim.
Al principio fabricaron miniaturas de Fórmula 1 a escala 1:36, pero en seguida se pasaron a la 1:43 copiando moldes de las marcas Corgi, Tekno, Politoys, Mebetoys...
Obtuvieron de la casa francesa Dinky el permiso para fabricar sus modelos en España.
Sus coches tuvieron numerosas variantes (hasta cromados), distintos tipos de ruedas, etc. Se asociaron a otras marcas, como las holandesas AHC, Artec, Oto y Doorkey, la venezolana Juguinsa y la española Guiloy."
(...)
"Los fundadores de PILEN son Enrique Climent Gisbert y su esposa, Pilar.
De ahí el logotipo de la marca, formado por las primeras letras de sus nombres. Debajo, las iniciales del fundador, Enrique Climent Gisbert. [ECG]

"Hacia 1962, uno de los socios fundadores de la fábrica juguetera Climent Hermanos, S.L, D. Enrique Climent Gisbert, decide abandonar la firma familiar para crear su propia empresa junto a su mujer Pilar (PIL-ar y EN-rique)."
(...)
"La primera línea de productos estará compuesta por una serie de pistolas y revólveres hechos de fundición de material zamack."
El 23 de enero de 1970 se regularizarán como sociedad anónima bajo la marca comercial PILEN."
(...)
"Poco a poco fueron abandonando la primera gama de juguetes para centrarse de manera completa en la fabricación de miniaturas de metal reproducidos a escala."
(...)
"Fue una empresa que tuvo gran protagonismo al gozar sus juguetes de mucha aceptación.
En el año 1983 cesó sus actividades (...). Desde la propia firma se auspiciaría poco después la creación de otra sociedad llamada Artec, que abrió sus actividades en el año 1988 y que (...) seguían ofreciendo unos juguetes de gran calidad (consiguieron un Molinillo de Plata el mismo año que se lanzaron al mercado como marca."

Auto Pilen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Auto Pilen was a diecast line of model cars made in Ibi, Alicante, in southeastern Spain by Pilen S.A..
Models were produced from the 1970s through the mid-1990s mostly in 1:43 scale.
A majority of the castings were inherited from French Dinky. The company was started in the 1960s, diecasting items like colorful metal sailboats and key chains.
In the late 1980s. Pilen was apparently bought by AHC of the Netherlands."
(...)
"Pilen made at least 50 different models, in the most convoluted story of diecast seconds and recasts of any successful diecast manufacturer (Colleccion Auto Pilen. No date).
Dies were apparently used or copied from a variety of other companies including French Dinky, Corgi Toys, Solido, Mebetoys, Tekno, Politoys (Polistil), and possibly some Mercury models."
(...)
"Pilen's model selection appears taken (whether by direct copying from blueprints or through available dies) from a variety of other producers, especially French Dinky Toys. Some tools from Meccano s.a. were transferred from Calais to Pilen in Spain so the models made by Pilen were Dinky castings – the base plate of which had been modified from MADE IN FRANCE to MADE IN SPAIN. For example, the Talbot/Simca/Chrysler 1100 saloon, Renault 12 saloon, Mercedes 250 coupe, Ferrari P5, Citroën CX Pallas, and Matra-Simca Bagheera were French Dinky castings (Dinky Toys Encyclopaedia). Later versions of these cars, though, did not say Dinky anywhere on the base plates.
So, from 1974 until 1981, several French Dinky Toys passenger cars were made by Pilen.
Bickford says that originally there was an agreement to market the French Dinkys in Spain, but most were sold under the Pilen brand name (Bickford 2009).
The French dies were used, but of course the base plates were altered, hiding that fact. These cars were almost exactly similar to the French dies, but with Pilen's own paint finishes."
(...)
"Auto Pilen also made a line of Matchbox-sized 1/64 scale cars, but these are more rare. Besides a SEAT 131 Wagon, a SEAT Ritmo, a Renault 4F (Van), a Peugeot 504, and a Range Rover – among others – were made but little is known about them."
(...)
"Pilen maintained a close association with other Spanish toy makers also headquartered in Alicante like Joal, Guiloy, Guisval, and Mira."
(...)
"Around 1980 there was a Pilen connection with Holland OTO, which had taken over Dutch Efsi Toys.
A 1980 Auto Pilen catalog shows many of the revered Efsi vehicles like the Model T series and many Efsi trucks continued as a line Pilen 1980 (Bras 2012).
Around 1990, there was also a connection with the Dutch diecast company AHC which appears to have bought Holland Oto and thus Auto Pilen (Bickford 2009). AHC has since shared dies and traditionally Pilen stamped cars can be found in both AHC and Holland OTO labeled boxes (Bickford 2009; Johnson 1998, p. 15)."
(...)
"With the bankruptcy of Doorkey in the early 1990s, Auto Pilen disappeared.
The last new models with the Pilen name appeared at this time.
In its time, Auto-Pilen was the king of the knock-off and die-cast second. Perusal of the model lineup shows castings were copies or closely copied vehicles from several different companies (Collection Auto Pilen).
Models were precisely crafted in a professional and uniform-looking range from leftover castings that had previously been in use elsewhere. Pilen appears to have been the most successful company ever at using second hand castings – yet so very nicely reconfigured."

Peugeot 304
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Peugeot 304 is a small family car which was produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot from 1969 to 1980.
The 304 was introduced to the public at the Paris Motor Show in September 1969.
Production of the saloon/sedan on the Sochaux assembly lines was discontinued during the summer of 1979, while the "Break" (estate) was produced until the spring of 1980.
Peugeot, which had always been a financially prudent company, saw a gap in the midsize car market in France, Italy and the rest of Western Europe.
By using the smaller 204's midsection, development costs were minimized resulting in a higher profit margin because of the higher pricing structure in the larger, better equipped market.
The 304's main competitors on its home market came from Renault and Simca, with Citroen noticeably absent from this sector at the launch.
The 304 was a success for Peugeot and was noted for several advanced features under its Pininfarina styled exterior.
With its independent suspended front-wheel-drive drivetrain and disc brakes, it rode and handled better than most of its contemporaries, including some cars in higher price brackets.
The chassis served Peugeot well and lasted for approximately 24 years adapted to derivative models. There was a distinct upmarket feel to the 304, its handsome lines were well suited to postwar Europe's newly affluent middle classes who desired roomy, advanced and stylish cars to park in their driveways.
At about this time the Autoroutes were opening up France and car manufacturers around Europe knew that any car launched hence, would need to add an ability to travel at high speeds, in relative comfort with sure-footed handling to its lineup in order to compete. The 304 fulfilled this brief and became one of the best-selling cars in its market segment.
The car was sold until 1980 and was replaced by the Peugeot 305, which had been launched in 1977.
It was based on the Peugeot 204 with which it shared many components, the most obvious difference being the frontal styling."

LEGO Technic 42030 Volvo Frontloader modified for Legoworld 2014 the Netherlands.
Extra gear reduction on the drivetrain 12:20.
Replaced the PF servo for M-motor with 2 mini LA's for better control and more realistic looks.
They are similar but different.
One is modern and cast. The one with the hole started out as an old school, bulge formed or “pressed” Cinelli lug from the late 60’s or early 70’s.
The long point on the Cinelli lug was fashioned from a recycled square cut flooring nail. The nail was annealed, flattened blacksmith style , then welded to the original lug and then profiled to shape.
The applied bronze fillets soften the transitions and allow things to visually flow together.
Each lug has its own charm and each one will look proper when brazed up.
Made of dark denim. The lighter contrast trim is just the reverse of the denim folded over to mimic a bias tape look. Took "Charlie Bag" pattern found on BurdaStyle website and modified it into a smaller purse with pockets instead of large reusable grocery bag.
Applied Building Block Dress Book techniques to the Teaparty Playsuit (and Lullaby Layette pants length) to make a zip up, quilted romper.

'Modified Halls' 7920 and 7925 'Coney Hall' and 'Westol Hall' are fresh out of 'A' Shop from what will undoubtedly be their last major overhaul. Even at this late stage, the finish of locos leaving the works was exemplary.
This is an old USB 1.1 SD/MMC card reader that I modified. It has 0.1" headers for CLK, DAT, CMD, and ground, as well as a DPDT switch that lets me connect and disconnect CLK and the card insertion detect pin.
I just recently aquired a really nice, vintage Besson Cornet - Details as follows:
Bell marked:
CLASS A
50 Medals of Honour
FB
Besson & Co.
"Prototype"
198 EUSTON ROAD
LONDON
(with Single star symbol below)
On receipt I gave it a really good CLA (I managed to get the seized 3rd valve bottom cap off). It is now playing fairly well with good tuning.
If I am feeling wealthy later in the year I might get it professionally serviced to get it playing the best it can and sort out that dent in the bell.
Description & History:
--------------------------------
An authentic Besson & Co. Brevet cornet, manufactured around 1911 (serial number 85515). Renowned for their craftsmanship and rich tonal quality, Besson Class A instruments of this era were designed for professional use and have become highly sought after by collectors and players alike.
The last owner purchased it from a lady in Yorkshire whose grandfather played this instrument, she said initially in the Halifax Fire Brigade band then after the war Mexborough Fire Brigade band. The last owner bought it to play the Last Post at Newcastle Emlyn Remembrance service on 10 November 2024. That was its most recent outing.
The instrument is in good condition, with all components functional. The bell has a couple of dents (does not affect playability).
Included Accessories:
1. Original Hard Case (Poor Condition): Structurally intact but shows significant wear, consistent with its age.
2. Set of 7 vintage mouthpieces:
“Salvation Army No. 1”
“Hawkes & Son. 1 Model” (marked with a 5)
“Hawkes & Son. 2 Model”
"Selmer Range-finder Air-cooled - 16D" (Modified shank)
"Selmer Range-finder Air-cooled - 17D" (Boxed)
"Kilchen & Co Leeds - KOOLKUP 3"
Unmarked Trumpet mouthpiece
3. Silver Transitional Adapter (“512” Marked) - facilitates compatibility with different mouthpiece designs, enhancing the instrument’s versatility.
4. Brass Transitional Adapter (Unmarked): - A second brass adapter designed for additional configurations.
5. S.B.I. Co Lyre: -A genuine Salvationist Brass Instrument Company lyre, used for holding sheet music during performances.
Condition Summary:
-----------------------------
Instrument: Good condition, with couple of small dents in the bell and minor wear from age.
Case: Structurally intact but in poor cosmetic condition. Retains original clasp and internal compartments.
Accessories: All items are vintage, functional, and rare, significantly enhancing the set’s value.
Notes:
---------
The big air-cooled mouthpieces are bonkers and too much for the horn but they work nicely on my flugel horn!
Out of all the mouthpieces I think the beaten up Hawkes 1 model (5) and Sally Army No. 1 play the best... I guess that is why they are the most beaten up!
Be kind to your-self, others and trees... and fly and help others to fly:)
Spasibo to my friend for taking this picture:) I already keep asking people - no more pictures, please, the number of my pictures has exploded recently... ouch... exponential growth. If a picture is nice, i want to share it though.
Mmmmm, pencil eraser... It actually works! I fudged up a few heads, but some turned out really well!
Who can guess what heads these were?
