Dinky Toys

He invented the Hornby trains and the first thing if you've ever had model trains, the Hornby trains, he invented those.

And also the Dinky Toys which are those, uh, those die-cast small model cars, the Dinky Toys.

But all of that was made possible by his first and biggest invention Which came about when he was mucking around in, uh, in his workshop, and he had some small sons, and he wanted to give them something to do and something that they could use to make things.

And so he, he cut up a whole lot of strips of metal and worked out something which would allow them to make models of things.

Still for sale now, and you think so, so simple.

So this bloke, uh, managed to put something together there, got someone to back him, and the rest was history.

That led to, of course, uh, his fortune and then the Hornby trains, the Dinky Toys as well.

I think, I don't think too many...
