Countryside Models ^{Ed Pick}

We have been in business as professional railway modellers, for nearly 25 years. We have accepted commissions for scale model railways and gained experience in all types of model railways from the toy train set to the public exhibition model railway and as professional railway modellers we work in a wide variety of scales and gauges. Proprietor Andy McMillan trained at Pendon and worked for the National Model Museum as well as winning over the years a variety of awards, trophies and medals for his model locomotives and artistic skills. These include, in his pre-professional railway modelling days, a commended and a bronze medal for trains at International Model Reilway Exhibitions at the Alexandra Palace; the model railway equivalent of an Olympic medal and another appearance in a final! Mind you, that was 20 odd years ago...

Valve Gear on the Computer ^{Ed Pick}

In 1986 I wrote the first of the MS-Dos versions of the software to simulate Baker valve gear. Since then I have made continuous additions and improvements to add other types of valve gear and improve functionality and ease of use. In early 1999 I started converting one of the valve gears to the Windows format. I have made the software available by placing it in the public domain as freeware. There are no restrictions on the use of the software. I, the author accept no responsibility for any claim arising from the use of the software.

The programs can be used with the default settings to view operation and characteristics of any of the types of valve gear supported. They may also be used to check or change designs as all the dimensions in the gear can be modified. Some of the MS-Dos types of valve gear also include a design section. Performance for all types can be viewed using several different types of diagrams.

Main Street Heritage Models ^{Ed Pick}

Scales: HO
When we started Main Street Heritage Models, we thought there might be a need for smaller commercial, and industrial buildings that were authentically detailed. We also thought that there was a need for structures that appeared as they might have at the turn of the century. So far, our hunch has been pretty accurate. Main Street Heritage Models allows us to participate in this hobby by art directing, and mastering these images of America's small-towns. We hope you continue to appreciate our efforts.
