DIY Advanced Model Railroad Signaling Electronics: Sensors, Interactivity, Track Control

摘要

Without a signaling system, railroads could not function, yet signaling is rarely incorporated in model railroads. Functional model signal systems have been avoided in the past because they were complex and fiddly. Given the trend in model railroading, however, toward more prototypical operation, an operating signal system completes the realism. This book illustrates how to design and build a prototypical signaling system without an advanced degree in electronics. With some basic electrical/electronics knowledge, the reader can create a realistic system. Keeping the PC off the layout is the author's stated goal because most people are not proficient in writing software.
