Dinky Toys - Meccano

MDC-R

Being one of the most famous manufacturers of die-cast models in the world, Dinky Toys produced most of its range of vehicles in 1/43rd to 1/55th scale. Some of the early British made Dinkies were in 1/75th (Bus or tramways) or 1/80th scale however, and are considered to be within the scope of this site. Apart from these models, Dinky Toys also  produced an 'OO'-scale series of models under the 'Dublo' name, which were meant to be used as train accessories from 1958 untill the early 1960s and a series of models under the 'Mini-Dinky' name.
