This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of vintage articles on the design and construction model trains and railways, with information on using electricity to power signalling systems, engines, ramps, and much more. Profusely illustrated and full of invaluable tips, this volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in model engineering, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: “Locomotive Notes”, “The Gas-Electric”, “A Useful Centring Jig”, “Model L.N.W.R. Locomotive”, “Electricity From Light”, “Some Suggestions for Model Railway Signalling”, “Electric Signals for Single Lines”, “An Electric 'Tell-Tale' for Siding Points”, “Shutting Ramps”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on model building.
Book Synopsis Beginner's Guide to Starting Your Own Model Train Collection (Scenery, Track Plans, and Layouts) by : Debbie J.

This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Model railroading is an activity that captivates people of all ages and genders. There is something endlessly fascinating about trains, and miniature trains are the most fascinating of all. It's a great pastime that provides a creative outlet, a lot of enjoyment, and the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts. Model railroading is a very adult pastime that makes you feel like a kid again. Best of all, it's a hobby that you can enjoy as a family, parents and children together. It really is the world's greatest hobby. Many are attracted to model railroading but don't know where to begin. You may have seen the impressive layouts created by model railroad enthusiasts and worry that you don't have sufficient space or resources to create something similar. Having sufficient know-how to assemble track, build scenes, or keep electronic components in good working order may also seem like a deterrent. Cost can also be a factor. However, you don't have to be an expert to build your first model railway. Model railroading has a very large support community. It's easy to find an answer to virtually any question you may have about building and maintaining a model train collection, both in person and on the Internet. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Scale refers to the relationship between model trains and the real thing. O scale used to be called 1:48, with HO scale at 1:87, but measurements have changed somewhat. For the novice, it's best to not get too mired in scale details. Suffice it to say that O scale is the largest model train, and is not very common as it requires more space than most people can allot. HO scale is the most prevalent and the standard for most model railroaders, having the most product selection availability. N is smaller than HO, and although there is a good selection, many hobbyists prefer HO since N requires a higher degree of detail and ability to work with miniature parts. Much depends on individual preference. If you just want miles and miles of track and lots of trains going around, N is great. If you want to re-create an elaborate scene with buildings, people, and geographical features, HO is better. If you get into model railroad building in a big way, you may eventually want to explore other scales, but most model train hobbyists are happiest with HO or N... Buy a copy to keep reading!
Book Synopsis Diy Advanced Model Railroad Signaling Electronics by : J. Richard Kerr, Ph.d.
Download or read book Diy Advanced Model Railroad Signaling Electronics written by J. Richard Kerr, Ph.d. and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four years in preparation, this book shows the model railroader how to design an automatic signaling and block control system that avoids the usual compromises. It properly responds to single or multiple trains of any length, including stops and reversals, while "remembering" proper status during system power-down. All types of signals are covered, from simple red/green to 3-color units with "approach mode"; and with or without self-latching or built-in aspect (red/amber/green) hierarchies. Road-crossing signal operation is properly asymmetrical in response to train direction, and adapts to stopping/reversing. The text encompasses AC and DC powered signals and trains of all gauges, including toy ("high-rail") layouts, and includes both "common cathode" and "common anode" configurations for DC powered setups. To ensure realism, any substantive dependence on timers is avoided. A wide variety of homebrew and commercial train-sensors is covered, with instructions on DIY alternatives ranging from very simple to ultimate performance. Based on the use of the excellent scale signals that are on the market, the text applies to any combination of DIY and commercial sensor and control hardware. Multiple-block signaling with turnouts, "tumble-down," and cross-tracks are discussed in detail. The use of the same sensors for automatic track (train or "cab") control is described for turnaround loops and wyes, for the prevention of following- and opposing-train collisions, and for non-derailing at improperly positioned turnouts. Also covered is the application of these concepts in a Digital Command Control context. DIY Advanced Model Railroad Signaling Electronics assumes a very modest knowledge of electronics, or alternatively, the ability to interpret a schematic diagram and solder simple, highly economical components on a hobbyist's circuit board. Specific electronic board layouts have been designed for the most important circuits, and commercial sources for the boards - as well as all other components - are provided. The book includes 97 figures and diagrams, and a comprehensive outline of contents.
