Does anyone know where you can obtain simple electronic projects and circuit diagrams to liven up the model railway a little? I've found a few but am looking for more.

G'day Shamus I guess for a start I was looking for basic LED or lighting circuits. I am hoping to make my scenery a little more animated, instead of being so static. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Chris. *How do you attach photos to what you write here? Posts: 8 | From: melbourne australia | Registered: Jun 2001

Kalmbach carries a couple of books. One of them is for easy electronic projects. I think its called Simple Electronic Projects for Model Railroaders, or something along those lines.HTH.....Mike

Hi Chris, I guess that book would be your best bet. As for adding a photo in here, first, any photo to be uploaded here or any other forum except trainorders, needs to be on a website somewhere. After that it's easy, just put img inside square brackets [ ] and at the end of the webaddress /img in square brackets [ ]. Shamus Posts: 79 | Registered: Mar 2001

Hi Chris'd. Isaw your query on the forum. I live over the ditch in NZ. Iget most of my gear from Dick Smiths. I also got his electronic books on various circuits which I have put to use. I also buy some of the kits they have on sale.I have used his kits to operate grade crossing lights, bells and loco whistles and horns regardless of direction. I hope I am not to late with this info. good luck happy new year. Jimbo

Here's just one link among many that I got by doing a browser search for "model railroad electronics." You might try doing a search for a specific project by it's name. Posts: 249 | From: Downey CA USA | Registered: Jul 2000
