Recently published courses include:
– Roco turnouts: installation, wiring, motorisation, and polarity configuration for different ranges.
– Glues and joints: Everything you need to fully understand the characteristics and uses of the most common adhesives in modelling.
– Tunnel construction: A new course in which we go step by step through the complete construction and integration process of railway tunnels.
– Train fact sheets: About the 7200/7500 by Electrotren and the 252 by Arnold.
