Greetings and Happy Holidays,

I hope this finds each of you well and with much to be thankful for this year, no matter how unusual the year has been. I am thankful to be safe, symptom free, and to have such a great hobby like Model Railroading. Oddly, I think the current circumstances have been a boon for our hobby. Perhaps it will spawn a new generation of modelers. I am thankful for that too.

This edition of the Backshop Limited features the newest addition to the Digitrax line of Complete Train Control products, the All New UT6 Family of Utility Throttles!

As a reminder, the SBS4DCC website features Real-Time Stock Status. Please remember that orders for out-of-stock products will be delayed and restock information will be limited. The shipping status notice applies to in-stock product only.

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... Model Railroad Operations are a blast and are a great way to get engaged in this great hobby. Operating sessions are surely limited these days so you can use this time to enjoy the OpSIG Publications - A Compendium Of Model Railroad Operations - From Design To Implementation and get to work developing your own operating sessions. You can find out more by visiting the OpSIG webite or by contacting your local NMRA chapter as well.

Stop Running Trains. Start Model Railroading!
