Product Description

This fabulous new guide introduces the concepts and practice of wiring model railway layouts in an easy and accessible manner. Beginning with the basics the book covers cab control, point control, signalling, train detection and lighting. Starting from the assumption that the reader has no knowledge above connecting up a train set, the book will guide the reader through the various techniques used until they have the knowledge to wire up a complex model railway. Individual chapters will concentrate on separate topics which build in complexity. This gradual approach will allow readers to apply the ideas as their confidence grows. The final chapter offers a trouble-shooting guide to enable modellers to track down and correct electrical faults on their model railway. A glossary of terms is included along with a useful listing of suppliers. This title is a must-have purchase for anyone thinking of including electrics on their model rail layout.

Good but not perfect
A Nice Book for the beginner with some easy to follow electric diagrams, I have found some inaccuracies especially one in the LED section - someone doesn't know their Anode from their Cathode on one of the LED illustrations, though the others seem to be correct, so I would say to the outright beginner tread carefully. Other than that it is worth the money and definitely worth the read for anyone who models Railways of any gauge.
