Automation in the garden series

Automating trains in your garden railroad can be fun, but getting started can be overwhelming. Author Kevin Strong, in his "Garden railway basics" column, addresses automation in a six-part series. Topics covered include auto-reverse systems, the station stop, reverse loops, alternating trains in and out of sidings, and combining features. Many illustrations are included throughout the series, as well as resources for products mentioned. (August 2012, October 2012, December 2012, February 2013, April 2013, and June 2013 issues)
