The Dinky Toys Secretary’s Challenge

This Challenge took place at our January 2025 Meeting

This Challenge was to build a model based on a Dinky Toy (or other die-cast toy). This did not prove to be much of a challenge for many of our members since Meccano models are often based on models from outside the Meccano system.

2025 marked 90 years since the first Dinky Toys were manufactured. They were made until the Liverpool factory closed in 1979. Dinky Supertoys was launched in 1947. Corgi, the other main manufacturer of die-cast toys, started in 1956.
