In Vancouver I had Dinky in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Corgi too but Dinky was better in our minds. Some of them were really old. I still have some. They need new tires. Or should I say tyres.
Then Hotwheels came and were all flash. In my day they were metal on metal with spring steel axles like pins with wide wide hard plastic tires. The neighbourhood went all Hotwheel and it became the standard. We made really long tracks with pooled pieces.
