Stumbled across this on the Internet.

I knew the Powerhouse Museum had at least one Gauge 3 model, but does anyone now what these are?  Presumably quite old but maybe MillBro?

You do find 'em!  ;)

Reading further down the text on some of the models, it does say 'There is also a small red sticker on the base of the locomotive model which reads, 'TRADE / HILBRO / MARK'.
I take that to be a mis-read for MILBRO - if the sticker is like this one https://sites.create-cdn.net/siteimages/29/3/1/293105/16/1/2/16120721/351x301.jpg?1516147920 then it would be an easy mistake.
I have sent a message to correct the description of the 'LMS Brake Van' - it being obviously (to us) a horse box.

Edit - sent the museum another message pointing them to the MILBRO website - https://www.milbromodelrailways.co.uk/

Thanks Andy.  In spite of the word "locomotive" in the title, I hadn't spotted that there was a locomotive at all - only saw the stock!
