| Customer Reviews: Easy-to-Build Electronic Projects for Model Railroaders December 9, 2002 Mike Allred (norco, ca United States) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a good primer for electronics in general. The book explains basic electronic parts and their functions. Not much effort is given to schematics because all circuits are drawn as finished assemblies. Concepts on improving locomotive performance are also explained and will give modelers plenty to think about. Improving throttles and switch machines also explained. Other projects like operating signals, walkaround throttles, train detection and sound are given in easy to understand formats. DCC is also covered, although in 1988, DCC was somewhat primitive at the time so only so much could have been written. I recommend this book to any model railroader who wants to add realism to his layout using electronics but does not know how to get started.
