Model Trains Run On Solar Power?

I got an interesting email from Dan of Arlington in Texas who has built a solar generator in his backyard and is using it to power his model trains. He tells me he got the idea and plans from Michael Harvey who runs a web site about building wind and solar generators to save on electricity bills.

It is a subject I don’t know much about, but it sounds interesting, even if it is just to provide electricity to light up a garden layout. Michael explains how to build the solar generator in his step-by-step videos.
