Alan Turner wrote: What happened to the release of TRAX3?Hi Alan, I received this from Noodle Books on the 9th May this year: "I regret we are still waiting the final text of this title from the Author. I understand the delay has been caused by a new computer operating system allowing the programme to work on both Windows and Mac without modification - needless to say this has also been delayed. The book / programme will appear, the intention still for 2011." regards, Martin. |

TRAX 3 is imminent. I am expecting page proofs to arrive tomorrow (Monday) whilst the programme is complete and will taken to the CD duplicated on the same day. Release will be at the start of September ready for Telford. { Gauge 0 Guild event} "TRAX 3' SIGNALLING & LEVER FRAMES THE RENOWNED AND EASY TO USE 'TRAX' computer programme is back. Author JEFF GEARY explores the possibilities of controlling a model railway in prototypical fashion, namely by operating points and signals from a signal-box style lever frame. Making the frame mechanically interlocked, ensures that trains can only be signalled when the correct route is set, and that conflicting routes cannot be set at the same time. This new book also explains the principles of signalling, the different types of signal and their significance, and how a typical track diagram would be signalled. The application of these principles to the model railway is then discussed, showing how the block section method of working can be adapted to control the layout. In easy to follow fashion and with copious illustrations, the construction of signals and lever frames is explained, with details on how to construct a set of mechanical locks and releases so that your lever frame works in exactly the same way as the prototype. Included with the book is a CD containing the third version of the Trax program. Additional facilities available in Trax 3 include new track formations such as scissors crossings and transition curves plus extended drawing facilities. New signal types have been added plus lever frames incorporating full locking facilities. Also included in the programme is a scripting facility to develop and test your timetabling, and a utility programs to make it possible to test the locking on the lever frame. 'WINDOWS' T compatible. 108 pages. COLOUR and B/W ISBN 978-1-906419-61-5 £17.50" Cheers for now John from 33820, St Ciers sur Gironde, France |
