I've created this site for fellow die cast
toy enthusiasts to use as a
resource and to showcase my own collection. These toys and models are
not for sale. Mostly it is about Corgi Toys made from 1956
when the brand was first launched through to the late seventies when it lost direction and the models began to decline in quality,
there are some later examples but the absolute cut off date for accurate
cataloguing is 1983. The
Corgi collection is based on a book called 'The Great Book of Corgi' by
Marcel van Cleemput who was very influential at Corgi during this
period. Corgis from after this date are not shown chronologically
I also
have a growing collection of Dinkies, Huskies, Matchbox and a few Spot-on, Lone Star
and other brand models. These are
chosen for no better reason than that I like them. |

I recently rediscovered my
childhood toybox. It contains 67 very well worn die-cast
cars chucked into a Brooks-Beattie biscuit tin and left by
me in about 1970. Some of my nephews had their hands on it
in the interim, but in general it is a genuine collection of
toy cars from the 1960s. There are some Corgis and Dinkies
and the odd Spot-On, but mostly they are Matchbox and Husky
- smaller scale stuff. The entire collection is now
cataloged and available under the title link above |
When this
site was begun it was designed to be pure Corgi, and over time
focus has shifted. The initial idea was to be all about
Corgis in their heyday. However since then I've been
dripping in more and more other stuff and as a result
the layout is no longer looking logical. The Corgi
collection is neatly arranged in chronological order of
release, but it's not that easy to find other things, so
I'm looking at more user-friendly indexing - like this
on the 'Modern Collectables' page -
