Rutger Friberg has been the Model Railroad and Electronics editor at Allt om Hobby for more than 20 years. He is the author of a series of books in the area of MR technology as well as co-author of hobby and technology books in Scandinavia.
Since 1988 Rutger has also, on a regular basis, given seminars and workshops for broader audiences on MR and technology topics.
He has been a member of the DCC working group within the NMRA technical committee since 1991, and has been instrumental in bringing the Digital control system to the level of a National Standard in the US.
He has given a number of clinics at each National Convention since 1992.
Rutger is working hard to get new kids into model railroading, he developed the Junior College Programme and introduced it at the NMRA convention in Kansas City in 1998. This programme has since been very popular and held in Asia and Europe as well as annually at the NMRA convention.
The comprehensive guide to Digital Command Control
... by Stan Ames, Rutger Friberg & Ed Loizeaux - was published in July 1998 and updated one year later. This book is a a must for all model railroaders, written by the three leading experts in this field.

I just received the book "Model Railroad Electronics", part #2 by Rutger Friberg which I ordered through the US Marklin Club. (English text, 144 pages, $16). To my surprise, this book really exceeded my expectations. It is an excellent reference book on Marklin's digital system. The book is basically divided into 2 main areas:
The first half covers every Marklin digital component in its fullest detail. The component descriptions are complemented by lots of handy drawings as well as full blown schematics with all the component values. Electrical waveforms are also included.
The second half of the book details several do-it-yourself projects compatible with the Marklin system for adding additional features to your layout.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning the internal workings of the Marklin digital system. Rutger Friberg has done an excellent job explaining how the system really works. I feel its the best $16 I've ever spent!
