The Biller company was created by Johann Biller, a former Bing employee, in 1935, but did not produce toy trains until 1948, following WWII. The company continued to produce a whole range of toys until being declared bankrupt in 1978.
The toy trains were either clockwork or battery operated, and were narrow gauge, 0 scale in size, but running on H0 track. The track was wooden sleepered, and included turnouts, straight track and curved track, and a turntable. A wide range of accessories were available, together with the trains themselves.
