[6] In the early 1950s Britains was associated with W. Horton Toys and Games which made the die-cast Lilliput ranges of small-scale, rather generic, cars and trucks and other vehicles.

Also in early 1950s, one of the first Britains vehicles was a Bluebird land speed record car of famed driver Malcolm Campbell.

In 1966 safety regulations in the United Kingdom combined with rising costs halted the production of lead toy soldiers.

In 1971 Britains started Deetail plastic figures with metal bases that were initially manufactured in England but later outsourced to China.

In 1983 Britains responded to a growing collectors' market by introducing additional models and limited edition sets.

This range was greatly expanded over the next 20 years and included die-cast versions of their old toy soldiers, some made from original moulds.

In 2011, Japanese-headquartered toy company Tomy acquired RC2 which included the Britains die-cast farm miniatures range.

Kenneth A. Osen was the master sculptor for W. Britain until June 2013 when he was appointed General Manager & Creative Director.

In 2021 Britains celebrated 100 years as Europe’s oldest specialist in farm toys with a limited edition of the Fordson Major tractor.
