<p>[quote user="BigDaddy"]NJ International. I use AVG and it gives me a hard warning. It could be a false alarm but having been infected once this year, I'm not taking any chances.[/quote]</p> <p>Kaspersky also blocks it.</p> <p>On the signaling bit, my personal preference is to start with a prototype system and rules and cut back from there to achieve a modelable system. This way I have a system where my future operators will be able to easily learn my signaling system, because it is based on a prototype (if they already know the rules, I can just tell them what is omitted, instead of teaching the whole thing because I made up my own system). I understand that I may have to teach some people signaling rules from the ground up. </p> <p>I have found Bruce Chubb's current multipart series in RMC Jan-June, Aug-? to be somewhat helpful in learning (he gets into the weeds about the prototype very quickly (also it seems like a long winded multipart C/MRI advertisement...). </p> <p>Chapter 8 of Realistic Model Railroad Operation by Tony Koester has good, basic signaling info in it as well. Also Railroad Signaling by Brian Solomon is also an excellent source of information about signaling (Tony Koester recommends this resource in his book as well). </p> <p> </p>
