Great idea, Terry. If anyone is prepared to do this, I am willing to work with them. We really do need some sort of 'Starter Pages' for electronics.

The MERG ( Model Electronic Railway Group) have published for members several articles on basic electronics,
e.g. Technical bulletins for:
Transistors, CMOS, preferred values for resistors and capacitors amongst others.
These are listed on the public website but only downloadable for members.
Also the newsletter has had several articles on basic electronics, notably a 10 part series in 2004-2008
In the interests of not reinventing the wheel may I suggest that the S4 committee approach Merg committee and request permission to publish for S4 members?
While most of Merg's work should rightly remain for members only it seems reasonable that these introductory articles should reach a wider audience.
I have copied this suggestion to Merg bosses.
