August 14th 2024: A major revision of the Matchbox rooms in the Little Wheels Museum is complete. The Models of Yesteryear (MOY) section was first to get its makeover. However that process put me in mind of a Venn diagram, the sort of visual aid that is used to show relationships and overlaps in categories. The relationship is between the sub-brands of Matchbox. There is Models of Yesteryear, many of whose products appear in Matchbox Collectibles, Matchbox Collectibles also takes in some products which first appeared as Matchbox Convoy and some others from the Dinky by Matchbox range. Since about 1990 a number of special collections, like 'Great Beers of the World' have been introduced which cut across the sub-brands.

The 1-75 range and King Size/Superkings ranges tend to be more free-standing with less cross-over to other parts of the brand, so will remain outside my virtual Venn diagram, both of those sections are in dire need of a makeover but will have to wait for now. The same is true of the tanks and planes.

I have put together an alphabetical list of all the road and rail vehicles which make up Models of Yesteryear, Matchbox Collectibles, Dinky by Matchbox and Matchbox Convoy. Each casting gets a page showing all its members across the four sub-brands, and each shows the special collections to which it belongs. I've also provided pages for the special collections which have come my way and created one or two of my own - for example the Christmas Collection.

This of course with the usual proviso that there will only be the models included which have passed through Little Wheels, leaving inevitable gaps.
