WHO’S WHO AT PECO PUBLICATIONS

If you would like to contribute an article, or have your layout featured, in the first instance, please send a short synopsis of the proposed article by e-mail to Andrew Burnham, our Contact CM page or by letter to our postal address.

Please include your full name, address and contact details with your enquiry.

EDITOR

Andrew Burnham

01297 20580 andrew.burnham@pecopublications.co.uk

Andrew Burnham took over the editorship of Continental Modeller in 1989 following the untimely death of the first editor David Lloyd. Andrew has a special interest in German and Australian railway and is very knowledgeable on all matters associated with narrow gauge railways, both British and Overseas. When not working on anything to do with railways, he takes some time out to play bass guitar in a band.

WRITER & PHOTOGRAPHER

Craig Tiley

01297 306005 craig.tiley@pecopublications.co.uk

Born in Swindon in 1983, Craig developed an interest in railways (both real and model) from a very young age. He pursued an education in art and design, graduating in 2005 with a degree in Illustration. After working for the next few years as a freelance artist/photographer, which included frequent photographic assignments for the model railway press (including Railway Modeller), Craig took the opportunity to join the PECO Publications team full-time in July 2011.
ART DIRECTOR

Adrian Stickland

01297 20580 railway-modeller@btconnect.com

Originally from South London, Adrian studied at the Plymouth College of Art and began working in graphic design for some of the major publishing houses. Adrian began his employment with PECO in 2002 within the company’s Art Studio, and he was later promoted to Art Director, overseeing editorial design for the two monthly titles, plus many other of the PECO Modellers Library portfolio.
