J G Brenner and Co produced tinplate toy vehicles, complete with garage, from 1914 until 1923. Known vehicles are approximately 12 inches in length, so too large for traditional 0 gauge layouts and displays. Motor cars feature a working hand brake together with clockwork drive, the key for which imitates the starting handle of cars from that period.
