Dinky Toys - Wikipedia In November 1957, Meccano Ltd introduced the Dublo Dinky range of models in 1:76 OO scale, designed to be used with the Hornby railway system.[22] 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. They were able to compete in the small-scale toy car market which, at the time, was dominated by Lesney's Matchbox.[23]
There were a total 15 Dublo models, although with upgrades and modifications, there are possibly up to 42 variations (not including box variations) manufactured.[23] All models came boxed. There were no colour changes throughout the short life of Dublo.
