History of Meccano
Dinky Toys were die-cast zamac miniature vehicles produced by Meccano Ltd – makers of Hornby Trains, named after founder Frank Hornby. Dinky Toys in England were made from 1935 to 1979. The factory was at Binns Road, Liverpool, England.
Pre-war history - Frank Hornby established Meccano Ltd. in 1901 to make metal erector construction sets. Hornby's first trains appeared in 1920. In the early 1930s, Meccano had made many types of tin plate and other metal cars, like its Morgan and BSA three-wheelers, mostly in kit form (Interesting 1934, pp. 306–307). In 1933 Meccano Ltd issued a series of railway and trackside accessories to complement their O scale (1/45) Hornby trains model train sets (Force 1988, p. 6; Ramsay 1933, p. 88). These accessories were first called "Hornby Modelled Miniatures", but in the April 1934 issue of Meccano Magazine they were given the name 'Meccano Dinky Toys' for the first time (Meccano Magazine 1934 p. 332) in August 1935, the name Meccano was dropped and the marque became DINKY TOYS until 1971(Encyclopédie Dinky Toys). By December 1934 the Dinky name was also used for the 'Dinky Builder' sets where coloured flat metal pieces could be hinged together to make buildings and vehicles (Esplen 2013).
It has been said that the famous 'Dinky' name came from a friend of one of Frank Hornby's daughters, and was likely derived from the Scottish "dink" meaning neat or fine. The Merriam-Webster dictionary gives the meaning as "overly or unattractively small.
