Software controller using an old PC No updating - for newest version please read the German Text! Concept The first step to take was to thoroughly understand the old Motorola format and the working principle and circuit of the transmission-IC - the Motorola-chip MC145026, on which the original Märklin Control-Unit and the majority of third party and do-it-yourself products is based. Thereafter the design of an simple controller seemed relatively easy and cost-effective to accomplis ...

Electrical Circuits you can build! One thing I have tried to do is not show a schematic drawing. I feel that this scares many people away from electronic projects. For those who know how to read a schematic, please do not feel insulted. Please note that the color codes on the resistors in any of these drawings are not accurate - the written descriptions are, but the color codes in the pictures are not. If you have a favorite circuit, send me a copy and I'll try to include it here. Many of ...

Scenery - 97-07-30 To me, scenery is as important as the motive power, rolling stock, and rails as a part of a model railroad. The basic techniques are not hard, can be mastered by most everyone, and bring a model railroad to life. When I was first starting out in the hobby after a 30 year hiatus, I needed to get reacquainted with the way things were currently being done. In the 1960s, scenery was built up over 1/4" square metal mesh or 'chicken wire'. Since that time, the 'ha ...

The Dustball Express Building an N-scale model railroad under your bed Most people who build model railroads are lucky enough to live in places that have lots and lots of space. A few of us are crazy enough to live in Manhattan shoebox apartments and have to improvise if we want to build anything more than the simplest circle of track. I started with that circle of track, but it got dull after a while so the rails grew and grew and the space under my bed got more and more crowded. Thankfully ...

FROM THE TURN OF THE CENTURY UNTIL 1945, it was possible to take a wonderful train ride from Merced in the San Joaquin Valley to El Portal, California to visit Yosemite National Park.
