GWR Modelling began in 1999 as a single page of Internet links for Great Western modellers.

Since then, the site has gradually grown to its present state, primarily as a result of the steady flow of photos and material sent in by GWR modellers.

The aim of the site has remained the same since the outset: It is a modest attempt to provide information, inspiration and showcases for modellers of the GWR, and thereby help promote modelling of that very special railway.

The website is 100% non-profit, and managed by the webmaster on a private basis.

The site has some 400 individual visitors a day. Most are from the UK, US and Australia, but there are also regular visitors from Malaysia, Uruguay, South Africa, Poland, Japan, Sweden and some 25 other countries. The world is full of GWR modellers...
