This reference work on model railway electronics introduces the novice to the subject through simple projects before going on to more advanced applications. The projects cover everything from basic train control and detection of trains by means of signalling systems, through to the automatic operation of the layout. The book includes information on: the use of electronics in model railways; controllers and their accessories, train detection, automatic signalling and point control; train lighting and sound effects; the tools required; how to make effective soldered joints; and fault finding.

It also includes appendices which explain current, voltage, resistance and power, transistors and operational amplifiers.
