All modellers, regardless of their skill levels, need a little help sometimes. One source of help is reference material. This can range from magazine articles, web-sites, modelling forums and in print. And, of course, you can always seek advice from your local model shop. One of the best printed sources of knowledge is the Peco “Shows You How” series of information booklets. Together, these cover many aspects of railway modelling. This one covers the more advanced topics concerned with the potentially daunting task of wiring the turnouts (points) and crossings (diamond crossings, single-slips, double-slips) on your layout.
