Dinky Toys

My collection of Dinky Toys is chosen primarily for display alongside my Hornby O Gauge railway although the scale of 1:43 is rather nominal; for example the AA Motorcyle Patrol model is closer to 1:50, the Electric Truck and Fork Lift models are much larger and closer to true 1:43 while the Hand Cart is larger again and too big for the railway.

That said, most young boys of the Meccano era did not worry about such matters.

It is also worth noting that the Dinky Toys figures were originally launched specifically for the Hornby O Gauge system but were never branded as Hornby.
