Hello friends of SBS4DCC,

Welcome to my "Dog Days of Summer" edition of the Backshop Flyer.  I hope the sweltering heat of summer hasn't kinked your rails.

By the time many of you read this you will have enjoyed the spectacle that is the NMRA National Convention and National Train Show in Kansas City.  Life just got in the way so I had to miss it again this year.  Hope YOU can make it!

This edition brings some great news and new products for DCC so read on.  The new stuff is always easy to find in the store by simply reviewing the  2018 New Products category.  These categories highlight new products added, not just the new releases, so they are always worth a look.

The sun may may be smokin' hot these days but your AC is chill and this internet store's hours are long... 24-7-365.  Shop at YOUR convenience.

Be sure to check out the Tutorials, Tips and Tricks section of the website.  I continue to add volumes of information about different subjects I think you might find valuable.

And finally...I encourage you to reach out to your local NMRA chapter about local operating sessions and try it out... just once.  Model Railroad Operations are a blast and are a great way to get engaged in this great hobby.  You can find out more by visiting the OpSIG webite as well.

Stop Running Trains.  Start Model Railroading!
