The 'Scanners' series of books have been consistent bestsellers,
being the UK's leading guides to receiving equipment employed by
enthusiasts to monitor the short wave and VHF/UHF wavebands used by
airfields, maritime and rescue services, and analogue and digital
two-way private mobile radio systems. This new (seventh) edition
covers the rapidly increasing trend towards digital two-way radio
communications and the latest handheld and mobile/base scanners
with some digital modes fitted. It has been fully re-written and
updated to include the latest UK radio frequency listings and call
signs for airports, maritime and emergency services and other
professional organisations. The book covers the latest shifts in
the hobby towards digital and PC- and tablet-controlled radio
technology and illustrates the very latest commercial radio
scanning equipment and accessories. Included are details of an
increasing number of 'apps' for smartphones specifically for radio
data decoding, including programs for digital scanner
communications decoding for which a smartphone can be linked to an
existing scanner radio to decode. Other innovations include TETRA
as used by police, ambulance, fire and rescue services, and DMR
modes such as Mototrbo. It is predicted that by 2016, fifty per
cent of two-way radio communication in the UK will use digital
modes.

The renowned and easy-to-use TRAX computer program is back. Author
Jeff Geary explores the possibilities of controlling a model
railway in prototypical fashion, using operating points and signals
from a signal-box style lever frame. Mechanically interlocked
frames ensure that trains can only be signaled 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 signaling, the
different types of signals and their significance, and how a
typical track diagram would be signaled. The application of these
principles to the model railway is then discussed. 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. Also included in the program is a
scripting facility to develop and test timetabling, and utility
programs to make it possible to test locking on the lever frame.

Gundam is a metaseries of Japanese anime, created by Sunrise
studios which got started in 1979 as a serial TV show called Mobile
Suit Gundam. That first TV series has since spawned a franchise
that has come to include models and toys in the world marketplace.
Bandai is the primary licensee of the Gundam trademark that makes a
variety of hobby products for the Gundam fan. Gundam Models are
those plastic and non-plastic model kits depicting the mechas,
vehicles and characters of the fictional Mobile Suit Gundam
universe. These kits have become highly popular in many Asian
countries since the early 80s. Through this book we'll talk about
everything on the topic of Gundam modeling, from market
intelligence to the many different facets of practical modeling
know-how. So, are you ready to enter the world of Gundam Modeling?
These instructions, including 67 full color pictures, will show you
how to build a basic junker model car with an out of the box
plastic kit. This booklet concentrates on the essentials of
junkyard modeling.
This book primarily covers EP offroad truck and truggy RTR R/C
cars. Information presented is intended for beginners and
intermediate users who want to upgrade their R/C cars cost
effectively for the purposes of enjoyment and elementary-level
racing.

Designed specifically for modellers of the modern scene, this new
book provides a comprehensive reference to all the livieries that
have come and gone on the network since the wholesale privatisation
of the mid 1990s.It is now more than 70 years since the first DMUs
made their first appearance on the British railway system and more
than 50 years since DMUs were introduced onto the BR network in
large numbers. From the late 1950s onwards several thousand DMU
vehicles were brought into service as replacement for steam
services over branches and secondary routes and from the mid-1980s
onwards this first generation of DMU was gradually replaced by a
second-generation of DMU although the final elimination of the
first-generation units did not occur until the first years of the
21st century. On the privatised railway of the 21st century,
virtually all non-electrified passenger services are now operated
by DMUs of one design or another and, on the preserved railways,
many examples of the first generation of stock continue to earn
their living. Although initially ill-favoured, as the years passed,
so the humble DMU has attracted an ever-growing army of enthusiast
fans and this is reflected in the number of web-sites devoted to
the subject, to the increasing number of models that are emerging -
a reflection of the fact that virtually no model railway covering
the BR scene post 1955 can avoid operating DMUs. Fully illustrated
throughout, this is the perfect volume for all serious modellers!
