Some model railways are operated somewhat chaotically and are
characterized by frequent derailments and locomotives that stop
arbitrarily. If you wish to move away from this kind of layout
and construct a model railway that operates realistically and
reflects more closely the way that railways actually work, then
this is the book for you. Whilst constantly emphasizing
realistic operation, the book covers layout planning and
construction, controllers, point motors, power supply, cables
and connectors, ways of operating traffic flows, signalling,
track droppers, control panels and wiring, control and
interlocking, lighting, sequence and block bells, the use of
closed circuit television, and much more.
