- A little history on the founding of the Meccano factory on Binns Road, Liverpool, England which turned into the Dinky Toy Factory.
I'm amazed that there is no museum in Liverpool for Dinky Toys

I was born in Wavertree in the late 50's and as I grew up in the 60's my mother and next door neighbour both worked at this factory and I was one spoilt little boy getting the new cars the week they were released, I only wish I had them all now. Great memories seeing some of those cars again.
Thanks for sharing your story. Getting new cars as they were released must have been awesome. It's sad that there is very few pictures and video clips of the factory.
Jerry Bootneck That’s magical! 👍
I totally agree, it would be fantastic to have a dedicated museum for Meccano made products, Dinky Toys, Hornby Trains and Hornby Dublo, plus the original construction system itself. There are some small displays in the Museum of Liverpool (at the waterfront), but not much detail.
It's sad that no one has done it especially in Liverpool. Looked at your nice (lovely) trains and subscribed. Cheers Willy
i am 61 I collect mainly played with Dinkys, because that's what they were made for. I like them to be played and yet cared for.
Great to hear that you collect Dinky's. They are great toys to play with.
The Jerry Anderson collection were the best for me,my favourite was captain scarlets spv,followed by thunderbird 2 and Joe 90s car.
The Thunderbirds were great....I remember watching the TV show.
Great Video, thanks for sharing
Your welcome...Willy
Very Nicely edited ! You Can't beat Dinky Toys !
+C.A.R.S. ~ Diecast Models Thanks for the comment. Dinky toys are the best.
+Willy Dahm (Willy D) What about Corgi?
+Witchdoctor I have some Corgi...I'll have to work on that..
New high quality Dinky vehicles being manufactured in China currently. Just discovered them on eBay and ordered some. Quality is excellent. Comes with nice boxes and the prices are very reasonable. They appear to be made for the French market under Editions Atlas / Mattel. I don’t understand why it’s just the French market but that is how it is currently. Check it out though and be prepared to be surprised. I sure was. 🦉
Thanks for sharing
Atlas has been around for a while. They are great and I have bought some myself. Some collectors buy them for parts for restoring antique Dinky's but I find it hard to brake apart a perfectly good toy model.
Boxes of my dreams !
True
Nice music! Can you tell me the titles?
Great video. Do you have a collection yourself?
