Now each model had its own unique three digit catalogue number with no letters , and cars were now sold in individual boxes Smeed , p. The Dinky Toys ranges became more sophisticated throughout the s. Additionally, several models introduced were American cars, and even now still seem unique choices, such as a Packard convertible, a Plymouth Belvedere, a Cunningham, the and Studebakers and a Packard , a Chrysler New Yorker Convertible, a Rambler, and a late model Hudson Hornet. Several colourful gift sets of sports and racing cars were offered in the mids, usually five cars to a set. For example, Gift set no. Production of agricultural machinery and implements had occurred since the s, such as the number 22e Fordson farm tractor, and such offerings were maintained post-war. One interesting model was the odd Opperman 3-wheeled Motocart , a tilting flat-bed vehicle with engine hanging off to the side of its large front wheel Rixon , pp. These were relatively cheap to produce — having a one-piece die- cast metal body, a base plate and or windows on some, and plastic wheels. There was the added bonus of being able to compete in the small-scale toy car market which, at the time was dominated by Lesney's Matchbox see Force , p. There were a total 15 Dublo models, although with upgrades and modifications there are possibly up to 42 variations not including box variations manufactured Force , p. All models came boxed. There were no colour changes throughout the short life of Dublo. Models were well-proportioned and looked similar in style to contemporary Matchbox or Budgie Toys. For example, similar to Matchbox, the Land Rover which came with a horse trailer had windows, grey or black plastic wheels and a black base see photo, Force , p. Wheels, however, the Land Rover had one on the bonnet as well as one underneath were somewhat flatter and wider than those of Matchbox and their circumference was not ribbed at the beginning but this feature was added later. The baseplate, however, was pressed steel with etched lettering not diecast with moulded lettering as was the case with Matchbox, Budgie Toys or Lone Star vehicles. Finally, the Land Rover had a trailer hook behind which was a cut, curved extension of the baseplate. The front and rear axles were held to the vehicle differently. The front was covered by the tube of the baseplate and held pinched on each side by extensions of the diecast body. The rear axle was exposed and run through holes in rounded sections folded over on each side of the plate. The ref. The range met with limited success and the first model was withdrawn in October having only been on sale for 18 months — there was no replacement. Within 22 months of their launch there were price reductions to 3 models. Further models were withdrawn in May , September and March until in November those models that remained were taken off the shelf six years after the Dinky Dublo line was introduced. Thus ended the production of Dublo Dinky Toys under Meccano who went into receivership two years later. Five of the Dublo models enjoyed a new lease on life when Meccano was purchased by Lines Brothers. Dinky offerings at this time were striking, but due to the lack of much competition, development of new models was perhaps a bit slow at least until July , when Mettoy introduced a rival line of models under the Corgi brand name. The most obvious difference was the addition of clear plastic window glazing. While Corgi Toys called their vehicles, "The Ones With Windows", Meccano Ltd responded by updating the Dinky Toys range and the models from both companies quickly became more and more sophisticated featuring such things as working suspension, "fingertip steering", detailed interiors, and jewelled headlights. The first model to have jewelled headlights was the no. Truck offerings remained continuously creative including a Simca glass truck with a sheet of "glass" clear plastic and a mirror polished aluminium , a Leyland Octopus flatbed truck complete with realistic chain around the bed, a car carrier with a car carrying trailer , a Dunlop tyre rack full of tyres, a Berliet truck hauling an electrical transformer, and an intricately detailed Brockway bridgelaying truck. One of the most astounding was the Mighty Antar truck hauling a large gold ship's propeller. A wide variety of military vehicles continued under production. A rival third range of model cars also appeared in called " Spot-on " which were manufactured in Northern Ireland and produced by Tri-ang , a division of Lines Brothers. This range was kept to one scale, , also featured mainly British makes, and were comparatively more expensive, never managing to sell as many units as Corgi or Dinky Toys. To compete with Spot-on, the scale of British Dinky Toys was increased to in Schellekens In Tri-ang took over the parent Meccano company which included Hornby trains as well as Meccano itself. After the take-over, Meccano continued to use the scale for many of the English made cars and trucks until Their low-friction axles and bright paint schemes gave new play value and appeal. Dinky and other British brands rushed to catch up, usually unsuccessfully. Each manufacturer responded with its own version of Hot Wheels innovations—Dinky's name was "Speedwheels" Force , p. The company continued to make innovative models, with all four doors opening a first in British toy cars , retractable radio aerials another first , new metallic paints, and jeweled headlights pretty, but not very realistic. Such features, however, were expensive to manufacture and toy prices could only be kept low if the quantity was high, and in the face of Mattel's creation, Dinky faced an uphill battle. Though the writing was on the wall, Dinky's offerings in the s covered the entire spectrum of vehicles, both real and fictitious. Besides the normal gamut of passenger, sports and racing cars, buses, farm, emergency and military vehicles — cars, aeroplanes and spacecraft were also offered from popular mostly British TV shows of the time like Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons , UFO , Thunderbirds , the Pink Panther , The Secret Service , and Joe 90 Dinky Toys It could be argued, though, that it was too little too late, as Corgi Toys had already been offering for several years vehicles from far more well-known shows and movies in the United States like Batman , The Saint , Daktari , James Bond , and The Man from U. Dinky's seemingly weaker standing made it all the more susceptible to Mattel's unstoppable Hot Wheels onslaught. At least the Corgi name still survives as a well-known collectible brand. Into the s, many British made Dinky vehicles lost the precision quality of detailing and proportions seen during the two previous decades. Models like no. Many just did not look quite right. Others, like the no. Some of the truck and construction models remained very clever as well, with many moving features, like the Bedford refuse truck or the Taylor Excavator. At this time, Dinky also introduced "Action Kits" which were regular models that came disassembled with build instructions and consisted of about 40 pieces Smeed , p. On the other hand, French Dinky Toys, which had to compete with Solido since , were much more accurate with better paint and sharper details than their English counterparts. The no. A second series of small scale models was introduced four years later in , somewhat larger than the Matchbox range at Mini-Dinky Toys, as the range was called, featured opening bonnets, doors and boots and were produced in Hong Kong and the Netherlands, with some construction models designed in Hong Kong as copies of models made in Italy by Mercury. The latter were to a smaller scale ranging from to depending on the model. Each model was sold in stackable red plastic garages, with clear removable top and sides. The model would slide out of a double hinged opening door to one end. This was in place of the usual cardboard box. Some Mini-Dinkys were also blister packaged in a dark grey pack some with garage and some not with bright yellow lettering Mini Dinky Although Dinky Toys were not known as widely for producing television related models as Corgi Toys, they still made a number of vehicles widely known from the small screen. Many of these models were the result of beating Corgi Toys to the signing of a licensing deal with Gerry Anderson 's Century 21 Productions , whose programmes are immensely popular in the United Kingdom. By , the French market had proved so successful that production of Meccano began in Paris at the newly opened factory on Rue Rebeval, with another plant opening in in Bobigny where production of the Dinky Toys range would be based. In the early days production consisted mainly of tiny model trains cast in lead, with vehicles gradually increasing in number. During the Second World War the Meccano factory was commandeered by the invading Germans and used in the Nazi war effort. From , the model vehicles were forcibly shod with solid metal wheels and the pumps did not have rubber hoses due to the shortage of rubber which was needed for the army. In the early post war period, rubber was needed badly as the French supply came from Cambodia and Laos in war against France, rubber tyres were not fitted on models until In , the headquarters and offices which were still at Rue Rebeval closed and Dinky Toys production was now solely based at Bobigny. In , French Meccano has been the first post-war European manufacturer to introduce scale. By the s there was virtually no crossover of product between the two countries resulting in a fascinating range that complemented the models. The vast majority of the French Dinky range was only available in the home market, Belgium, Switzerland, U. Similarly, some examples of the British range of Dinky Toys were exported to France at the same time. The factory at Bobigny closed in and production moved to the present Meccano factory in Calais where the range continued to be manufactured until when the final single sheet catalogue spelt the French Meccano-built end for the best known name in diecast toys. A contract had been signed with the Spanish firm Auto Pilen who received some tools and produced some models both as Dinkys and Auto-Pilens. As import duties were high on finished goods and reduced on components, to get into the Spanish market, Meccano s. There the models were finished and fitted with specific Pirelli tyres. In labour was getting too expensive in France, and Meccano subcontracted the manufacture of some models to Auto Pilen s. These models had already been made in France and were sold exclusively under the marque Dinky.

The military offerings were produced through , though a few select models — the clever 16lb anti-aircraft gun, the a medium tank, and some of the trailers — were also made again from to Dinky Toys Encyclopaedia. Pre-war models were fitted with thin dia 1. The pre-war hubs were smooth, but after the war there was a raised part in the centre of the hub. Tracks on the tanks and the a Light Dragon artillery tractor were made with a wire-link sprocket chain wrapped around the hubs. That gave a mechanical, although not very realistic, appearance to the tracks. The side panels of the anti-aircraft folded and, not only did the gun swivel degrees, but it could be moved from level to about a degree angle upward. The searchlight was also adjustable in horizontal and vertical directions. Military models were made until the end of production in the late s. A wide variety of military vehicles were produced, such as the Jeep-like Austin Champ , which included a driver and passengers. In the early days of the Dinky Toys range, aeroplanes and ships formed a considerable part of the output of the Binns Road factory, along with models of cars, vans and trucks. Both civilian and military aircraft were subjects for the Dinky Toys modellers, and the model of the Spitfire was sold in a special presentation box between and , as part of The Spitfire Fund , to raise money for the supply of a real Spitfire to the Royal Air Force. Some models were clearly identified, whereas others re-issued in had generic names such as Heavy Bomber 66a and Two Seater Fighter 66c. The reason for that is not clear, but it may have been that they were not true representations of particular aircraft types. However, there were rumours that some models of aircraft and ships were disguised so that enemy agents would not be able to recognise allied aircraft and shipping from the Dinky Toys models. That was of particular importance in the production of French Dinky models, due to the political friction in Europe before the war and the fact that France was occupied by the Axis forces during hostilities. Those theories do not seem to be valid, because the models with generic names were issued in , after hostilities had ceased Dinky Toys Encyclopaedia. Production of model aircraft resumed after the war with a mixture re-issues of pre-war models, along with models of new civilian airliners and recently-introduced jet-powered aircraft. Production of Dinky planes tailed off in , but was resurgent in with a range of World War II types complete with battery-powered propellers, as well as modern jet fighters, and even a Sea King helicopter. Those large-scale planes had been developed by Airfix but were made by Meccano Ltd. Although the production of aircraft models continued after the war, the heyday of Dinky ships was between and Small metal rollers were also included in the design and concealed in the underside of the hull so that the models could be moved smoothly across surfaces. Mirroring the aircraft range, both civilian and military ships were issued, and again, some were disguised. The liner France was the only Dinky Toys ship produced in France after the war. Dinky Toys Encyclopaedia. It was not until that five further models were added to the long line of maritime releases from Dinky Toys. No Dinky Toys models were made between and Thus during and after the war a few 'pre-war' models survived and were sold in Harvey , p. The first new models released after the war were U. Besides some of the military vehicles offered before and after the war, the first significant releases from Dinky in the late s were the 40 series, which were all British saloons. The first new model car released was an Armstrong Siddeley Coupe Smeed , p. These were the opening chapter of the "golden age" of Dinky Toys in the post-war era and represented far greater accuracy and detail than their pre-war relatives. These were very popular and today are often considered by collectors to be the quintessential Dinky Toys models. The 40 series cars were manufactured from better quality alloy, meaning that the survival rate is higher and although originally sold in trade boxes of six, they were renumbered in and re-coloured in two-tone paintwork in , the Austin Somerset ref. The first two models in the 40 series were in scale, while the others were in scale Schellekens The Jowett Javelin saloon is an interesting case as plans were made, but the model was never issued. More recently, Odgi Models have remade the Jowett and a couple other Dinky Toys Models which were planned but never manufactured. As part of the post-war development and expansion of the range, in Meccano Ltd introduced a series of model lorries modeled to the usual Dinky scale of , and introduced the altered name of Dinky Supertoys. Some models issued in this line included:. In , Meccano introduced in the Supertoys series a number of Guy Vans finished in appealing period liveries. Each model was an identical all metal box van with opening rear doors. Later, A. Supertoys were commonly packaged in white boxes with thin blue horizontal lines and were marketed all on their own — no longer were these models solely focused on railroad accessories. Still, they did not quite reach the commercial marketing level of later diecast brands like Corgi Toys or Solido. Meccano continued producing detailed Dinky Supertoys commercial vehicles through the fifties and sixties, including such subjects as a Mobile Television Control Room and Camera Van in both BBC and ABC Television liveries, a Leyland test chassis with removable miniature 5 ton weights, a series of military vehicles including a Corporal Erecting Vehicle and missile a subject also modelled by Corgi Toys at the same time , a range of Thornycroft Mighty Antar heavy haulage transporters complete with loads and a Horse Box in British Railways and later in Newmarket liveries. In after the take over of Meccano Ltd. The Dinky Toys Encyclopaedia. Having been well known before the war, Dinky Toys were popular in the United Kingdom in the early s. The smaller cars were in a scale of , while the larger cars and many Supertoys, as stated above, were in a scale of , which blended in with O scale railway sets, but many buses and lorries were scaled down further Schellekens Because of the introduction of data processing, the British Dinky Toys range was reorganized in with a new numbering system — previously model numbers were commonly followed by letters and often sold in sets with several vehicles. Now each model had its own unique three digit catalogue number with no letters , and cars were now sold in individual boxes Smeed , p.
