A warm hello to old friends and new patrons!
Summer is in full swing but it was like 66 degrees in central Indiana yesterday. WOW! I never thought I would use the word "Burrrrrrrr..." in August in Indianapolis.
I keep adding tons of new stuff to the store so if you haven't had a look around lately, I invite you to grab a hot cup of coffee and have a look around!
This month brings one of the absolute coolest items I have ever stocked. Introducing the Roco smartRail Rolling Track Display Stand. Technically the unit has been around for a few years now but were only offered as sets complete with a European prototype locomotive. This ultra-cool display stand is in stock now at SBS4DCC. You gotta see this DEMO VIDEO...
The featured product this month is also worth a very close look. The new NCE Snubber is not a new idea. The concept has been proven to work and has been touted by DCC professionals for a very long time as a real solution to real DCC issues.
Summer hours here are always the same as the winter hours... my store is open 24-7-365.
I also encourage everyone once again to have a close look at the latest offing from OpSIG Publications - A Compendium Of Model Railroad Operations - From Design To Implementation. I realize realistic operations are not for everyone, however, for me the concept of simulating operations really brings the railroad together and serves as the purpose for building the layout, for all of the trains, and for all of the DCC hardware and decoder installations.
It is the
IT in model railroading.
I encourage you to ask someone in your local
NMRA chapter about local operating sessions and try it out... just once. My only regret is I never have enough time to Op more. You can find out more by visiting the
OpSIG webite as well.
Stop Running Trains. Start Model Railroading!
