In railway modelling, getting the technical components correct is essential for a realistic-looking layout but, unfortunately, these often present the biggest challenges for the hobbyist. Using his own experience as a railway modeller and electronics engineer, Andrew Duckworth provides a guide suitable for all railway modellers, from beginners to the more experienced. With instructions on how and where to use specialist electronic circuits to enhance your layout, this book will help you to achieve a reasonably sophisticated layout.

It provides:

An overview of the geometry required for building successful model railways

Clear explanations of electronics and electrical components

Comparisons of direct control and digital command control (DCC)

Step-by-step instructions for wiring the track, signals, buildings and lighting

Reviews of electrical systems, power supplies, wires and cable, control panels and switches

Detection, testing and troubleshooting tips

Appendices of terminology, codes and symbols used for both electronics and model railway track plans, together with capacitor conversion tables

443 colour photographs, 50 diagrams

About the Author

Growing up in Africa, Andrew Duckworth received his very first train set (a Hornby) for his twelfth birthday. A gift from his Grandmother in the UK, it had taken months in the post to reach him but sparked a life-long interest in model railways, railway signalling and electronics.
