And if all else fails, post your question here.

 Another great place to learn about electronics is this forum right here!

Thanks for the replys!

I check them out as soon as I can.

How about howstuffworks.com ?

Ken, 

Try this site: Basic Electricity 101

Dave Loman put this site together a couple of years ago, with the input (or feedback) of a few folks here on the forum.  Hopefully this will help answer some of your questions.  I found the link again and have it bookmarked.

Take a look at this and see if it meets your need.  The Brits do a lot of this type of basic electronic stuff

Thanks for the response....although I've found WIKI to be rather.....consistantly inconsistant with accuracy when dealing with topics of which I am competent with.

The searches I've done so far have resulted in sites that are very basic or are rocket science material.....I'll keep looking though.

Thanks again....

Yeah,there Mr. Lackey. Look up DCC WIKI and you shall be gratified. Sorry I haven't figured out how to make stuff clickable yet. I had to look it up on my favorites list.

I'm fairly confident with household 110V wiring for lighting and receptacles but almost totally lost when electrical becomes electronics. Is there a fairly well explained web site that explains in laymans terms how resistors/capacitors/etc function so that I can become more confident/competent with these components?

Thanks
