About this title

Synopsis

Since toys were first made, public transport vehicles appropriate to the era have been part of the selection available. Tinplate ruled in England until the names of Meccano and Dinky were introduced in the 1930s with their metal toys. With the growth in nostalgia, a business has formed around the collecting of toys and models. A brief history of the early models with details of some of the companies involved. Beautiful illustrations of the models.
