Baillie 'Bill' Munro produced track and accessories rather than trains, his track being based on that produced in the UK by Hornby. Other products were viaducts and girder bridges, buffer stops, signals and a barrier type level or grade crossing. Established in 1948, the business continued until 1960 after which Bill Munro manufactured sheet metal office equipment until his retirement in 1980.
