Trains Cranes And Automobiles- Radio Control For Model Railways

In this book Giles Favell details his journey into the world of applying miniaturised radio control to small scale working models for his model railways. After explaining the rationale behind the idea, Giles describes the three layouts that he has built and the how and why of each design. He then covers the general principles and details of the methods, components and suppliers he uses for each aspect of the systems, before going on to describe individual projects in a 'step by step' way, supported by numerous illustrations. He also details his experiences with radio controlled locomotives and rounds the book off with a summary of recent developments, including reconfiguring gearmotors and a very neat idea for a point motor.
