Pop inand look at our model railways. Seeing is believing... A brief history ofCOUNTRYSIDE MODELS; the professional model railwaybuilders indent If you want to see the main web site you havejust missed the link! Just click on the text or logo above. The rest of this page is anattempt to correct errors in the way search engines now find this site. Put simply, peoplelooking for my services might use four or five additions to the words "modelrailways" or "railway modeller" to find me; prefixes such as"professional" and "scale" or suffixes like "builder","maker", "designer" or "manufacturer". Since there aremany ways of combining these words and since leading SEO practitioners suggest suchrepetition will be treated as "spam" unless the phrases can also be found in"the body" of the text, I have repeasted most of these "tags"below. Since such repeptition tells you nothing and makes for boring reading Isuggest you ignore the rest of this page and click on the logo above which will take youto the main body of the site, the photo gallery, info about us etc. etc. Enjoy!indentWe have been in business as professional railway modellers, professionalmodel railway designers, professional model railway builders or professional model railwaymakers, call us what you will, for nearly 25 years. We have acceptedcommissions for scale model railways and gained experience in all types of model railwaysfrom the toy train set to the public exhibition model railway and as professional railwaymodellers we work in a wide variety of scales and gauges. Proprietor Andy McMillantrained at Pendon and worked for the National Model Museum as well as winning over theyears a variety of awards, trophies and medals for his model locomotives and artisticskills. These include, in his pre-professional railway modelling days, a commendedand a bronze medal for trains at International Model Reilway Exhibitions at the AlexandraPalace; the model railway equivalent of an Olympic medal and another appearance in afinal! Mind you, that was 20 odd years ago...indentAs model railway makers, countryside models are good! (Just see ourgallery of completed models if you doubt that!) COUNTRYSIDE MODELS are looked forunder such names as scale model railways constructors, professional model railwaybuilders, scale model railway designers, scale model railway makers and professional modelrailway manufacturers. COUNTRYSIDEMODELS has been spelt with and without gaps, in lowerand upper cases, while people also look for our services under countrysidemodels, modelrailway photographs and as a wierd selection of the following words; railway,professional, scale, railways, trainsets, railroad, trains, pike, designer, builder,builders, designers, model, maker, makers, commissions, fun, constructor and constructors. This is not to mention mis-spelt words such as proffessional model railwaywhatever, modle, reailways, modeling, modelers and other howlers. Others have aparticular gauge in mind but they might call it N gauge, Ngauge, Ngage, 9mmgauge, 9mmgauge or 9milgage, for instance. Then there's HO, H/O, OO, 00, OO gauge or 00gauge, O, 0, 0 gauge or 0gauge, 7scale, 7 scale, 7mm scale, 7mmscale and 7mil scale, notto mention O gauge and O gauge. Then there's EM, EM gauge, 18mm, 18mil, 18mmgauge etc, scale4, scale 4, P 4, P4, 18.83mm gauge, narrow gauge, standard gauge orbroad gauge. They might also look for the words made to order, 2mm, 4mm, 7mm,countrysidemodels.co.uk and of course there must be thousands of other ways that I haven'tmentioned of describing a chap who builds model railways for money!indentWe have been in business accepting commissions for scale model railwayssince 1979 and have gained experience in all types of model railways from the toy trainset (but one you can operate "just like the real thing", unlike mostso-called toy train set plans which are generally designed by the companies which sell thetrain sets to fit as much of their own products as possible into the smallest space!),to the permanent public exhibition model railway, a typical example of which we made forPoole Quay in the 80s and which now has a new lease of life at Compton Acres, just outsideBournemouth. We work in a wide variety of scales and gauges; from Z gauge through N, 3mm,S gauge, O fine, S7, G1 and can work in other scales we've never heard of but one way oranother they are all built to order. As it happens, I've never felt it necessary to put somuch stuff on the front page before but it seems the search engines have changed the waythey search for things and my position on some of them has plummeted of late! However,we'll try this approach in an attempt to help you find us when you want us. Of course, nowyou have found us I trust you haven't wasted lots of your time reading all this! If youhave then my apologies but sometimes you just have to go along with the "BigBoys" and their latest electronic gizmos; after all, they are trying to eliminatespam-merchants to help you find genuine sites and if this is what it takes, so be it! If you have got this far you will be delighted to learn that thenormal part of the site begins here... COUNTRYSIDE MODELS Artists in Miniature Landscape Welcome to COUNTRYSIDE MODELS ; the model railway site where "seeing really is believing"!  Part of Tupdale; a 00 gauge model railway which we completed in 2001. See "Gallery - Tupdale" (click above) for lots more photos with "in-depth" captions. indentOwning a good model railway is a genuine delightfor a surprising number of people. For those who do not have one however, simplylooking at other people's model railways can be almost as much fun and, since most of ournew visitors head straight for our PhotoGallery out of sheer curiosity, we have put it right at the beginning to make iteasy for you! On the other hand, if you want to know more about us, read on... indentMost new visitors also have a lot of questionsabout "Who, What, Where, When and How" - not to mention "How much"! You can find out whatever you want to know on our Home Pages. Besides all the usual info about who we are, what we do and what it costs to haveus make a model railway for you, there is a lot of other, sometimes surprising,information there for you.  Part of a Public Exhibition layout called "Steam Days", originally at Poole Aquarium, Poole Quay, Poole, Dorset. It was built by us in 1981. Techniques have improved since then but it remained an excellent advert for us until a few years ago it was moved to Compton Acres, where it seems it just faded away...

Just click on the link above toopen the page and then return here to continue!indentShould there be anything you want to know that wedo not cover in the many pages here on offer you are welcome to e-mail us and wewill be pleased to reply.

Work on ourcurrent model (shhhhhh- it's a Swiss thing... find out more later!) progresses,interrupted by the odd trip "Oop North", but some track has been laid and it has even beento an exhibition.
