Lines Brother the owners of the Triang Brand of toys where always looking for new markets. In the late 1950's it was becoming clear that the Diecast Car Market was a booming sector of the toy industry. Lines Brothers decided to create there own brand with a new factory being opened in Belfast.

The Spot-On brand was introduced in 1959 with a 1:42 scale right across the range, meaning that all there models where compatible with each other. By the mid 60's the range had grown to over 100 vehicles along with scale buildings and road signs. However by this time Lines Brothers had taken over Meccano Ltd along with its more established Dinky brand. Spot-On was the victim of this take over it being dropped in 1967 in favour of the Dinky Range.

MAIN EVENTS OF THIS COMPANY

• 1959 Spot-On Cars launched with a 1:42 scale
• 1964 Lines Brothers take over Meccano Ltd including Dinky Cars
• 1967 Sot-On range dropped in favour of Dinky
