Details of Great Western Model Locomotives (GWML) are a little scarce, although it is known that the company was formed by George Miller, and advertised in Model Railroader magazine every month during 1948. GWML produced at least four 0 scale 'old time' (1860-1910) locomotive kits, 2-8-0, 2-6-0 and 4-4-0 tender locomotives togeher with an 0-4-2 saddle tank. Suitable cars include coach, baggage and combine as well as a log car, tank car, flat car, gondola and hopper. Further details may be found at the Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette web site.
