Practical Electronic Projects for Model Railroaders By Peter Thorne Soft Cover Practical Electronic Projects for Model Railroaders By Peter Thorne Soft Cover 1974, SECOND PRINTING 1975 80 pages. Complete instructions, all about componentsIntroductionMOST of us started model railroading with a packaged train set – a locomotive and a few freight or passenger cars, an oval of track, and a power pack. The track snapped together, the wires from the power pack clipped to the track, and the power pack plugged into the wall socket. Nothing was complicated about it. The next step was two-train operation. After a bit of puzzling, we understood the cab control system that divides the layout into electrically separate lengths of track. Then with the track layout in permanent form (but open to revision), we developed our scenicking ability with plaster and colors and added telegraph poles, signs, little people, and kit- and scratch-built architecture.Nobody ever finishes a layout, of course. As time goes by we tend to become experts in certain techniques, such as painting and lettering or metal-working. Only in recent times, though, has interest turned to electronics for increasing the fun and realism of model railroading. Perhaps the ever-increasing standards of precision scale modeling have caused the demand for effective and reliable ancillary equipment, such as operating signals and realistic locomotive sound systems. Or maybe the affluent society has caused the average home layout to become larger and more complex, to the point that, for example, block-in-use detectors are a necessity to prevent a cornfield meet at the far end of the basement.This book contains instructions that will enable you to build a variety of electronic devices to increase the realism of your model railroad. Simplicity and detail of explanation have been maintained so that the average modeler should have little difficulty constructing most of the devices. Even the expert, though, can find material here that will interest and challenge him.
