Welcome to Signals by Spreadsheet
Signals By Spreadsheet makes it easy for the average model railroader
to implement prototypical signaling on his/her layout.
We realize that implementing an operational signal system can be an intimidating task. The options range from “hardwired” logic to computer-based implementations, requiring a full staff of engineers and programmers - UNTIL NOW. To determine if you or your club can use SBS, take this simple test:
1) Do you have a computer? (Since you’re viewing this on a computer, you probably do.)
a. Is it a PC or MAC running Windows 2000, XP, or VISTA? (Windows 7 not tested)
2) Can you play Solitaire on your computer? (You don’t have to be able to win.)
3) Can you make entries in a spreadsheet (like entering your name in a box)?
4) Do you like FREE software?
5) Can you make an electrical connection to your DCC track bus?
6) Can you make a Cab Bus (or LocoNet®) connection?
If you passed the test, or if you just want to find out more, take a look at the “Overview Tutorial” or jump to the “Tutorials” page.
