  2. Digital model railway control systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_model_railway...

    Some digital control systems provide the ability to independently control all aspects of operating a model railway using a minimum of wiring, the rails themselves can be the only wiring required. Other systems are wireless. Control is achieved by sending a digital signal as well as power down the rails or wirelessly.

  3. Ring circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_circuit

    Spur circuits attached to the ring can overheat if not fused at the spur-point (i.e., if a BS 5733 or similar fused spur is not used) This is almost certainly a breach of the appropriate electrical standards (e.g. BS 7671 in the UK): the maximum load on any unfused spur is a single fitting.
