Model Railroad Notes.


Disclaimer: I have not built a model railroad yet. This group of pages is raw notes to myself while I do the homework. It may nor even be in complete sentences or have HTML formating. Put here to share (since I'm creating files anyway) and saves trees over papar notebooks. If someone has a suggestion, thinks there is something more to research, or has a question, send an e-mail.

  The objective of the homework is avoid time consuming, possibly expensive mistakes (retired income). Learning about a hoby is fun too!

  If I come up with a program for (i.g. solving geometry of track curves or automated control) it will go in Programming section, and electronics (i.g. throttle) the Circuits section.
