Lone Star was the name used by British company Die Cast Machine Tools Ltd (DCMT) for its toy products.
Starting in 1949, the company manufactured die cast toys for children. The 'Lone Star' name was chosen because the big demand at the time was for toy guns and rifles driven by the Western films in cinemas all over Britain. The company also made tie-in toy guns licenced from the James Bond films and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. series.
Other early models included large numbers of Hand Painted toy soldiers and figures, mostly military, with some cowboy and Native American figures. Other figures were licensed from children's series and included Noddy, Popeye and Zorro. Initially the soldiers were made in hollow cast lead, but later changed to plastic.
Lone Star began producing toy cars in 1960 with a rapidly expanding range of metal die cast cars under names like "Lone Star Flyers" and the superb range of OO scale (1/76th) Lone Star Impy vehicles. They followed the lead set by Dinky Toys and moved into diecast model aeroplanes in 1959 with the 2-2-0 Series of modern jet liners in 1/220th scale.
Under the "Lone Star Locos" name, they produced (OOO scale) 2mm to the foot British and American outline model push along trains in 1957,9mm Gauge Track and a range of diecast Station buildings. This was followed in 1960 by "Treble-0-Lectric" electrically powered working models of two British diesel locomotives, The Class 24 Sulzer Type 2 Diesel and the Class 23 Napier Type 2 "Baby Deltic" Diesel, an American Baldwin 0-8-0 Steam Locomotive and a General Motors FA style Bo-Bo Diesel Electric Loco which was available in both US and UK liveries. These were accompanied by track, British & Continental outline Rolling Stock, scenic items and other accessories, such as the Gulliver's Kingdom range of rubber moulded buildings in 2mm scale. Vacuum-formed bases were available to form "instant" scenic layouts and these could be purchased separately or in sets.
The Electric Train models were very well received in the Model Railway press of the time and essentially showed that a viable 2mm to the foot system could be designed, manufactured and marketed in the UK. Lone Star Treble-O-Lectric trains essentially introduced the concept that would later become British "N" gauge, 10 years ahead of the competition.
However, limited toy trade distribution, the existence of the Tri-ang TT scale range and poor reliability of the driving mechanisms (which used final drive from a pair of elastic bands) ensured that Treble-o-Lectric never sold well enough to pay back the investment. In 1964 production ceased, although push-along trains continued to be made for far longer, using the existing tools. The accessories were switched from die-Cast Metal to injection moulded polyethylene at this time and all units were sold in blister packs. The premier outlet was British High Street retail chain Woolworths. Unsold stock was finally cleared from the Hatfield warehouse during 1988, ensuring a whole new lease of life for the system as new collectors began to take an interest in Lone Star.
Today there is a thriving Lone Star collectors circle who can regularly be seen displaying fully working Model Train layouts using only Lone Star equipment throughout the UK and occasionally, in Europe & Canada too.
In 2009, Lone Star cap guns are once again widely available, as the name and original logo are being used by a German manufacturer with good distribution across Europe.
