Greetings from the Backshop,

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there. The may not always say it... They may not always show it... But... well... you know...

Happy Fathers Day!

This edition of the Backshop Limited features the latest product announcements from SBS4DCC! That's right, today I am showcasing the latest additions to the Original Sugar Cube Speaker series.

My installer Steven Fields asked me for a thinner version of the sweetest speaker available to make installs in tight projects a little easier so here they are...

In other news, I have recently completed a full pricing review of the ZIMO DCC products. ZIMO DCC is a challenging line. I import the product directly from the factory in Austria so I am subject to all of the affects of currency exchange, tariffs, duties and transportation costs associated with offering the products for sale. ZIMO DCC also announced a significant price increase this year which only compounds the challenges.

I am happy to announce that I have been able to make a modest price reduction to all ZIMO DCC products in spite of it all thanks to a strong exchange rate and favorable long-term forecast.

Happy Fathers Day!

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.

I am frequently asked for help and information about the manufacturers warranty when a project doesn't work out the way we expected. CLICK HERE to access the Consolidated DCC Manufacturers Warranty Information page. Of course this information is subject to change and the manufacturers information is always the primary resource.

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!

Introducing...

New Sugar Cubes Options From SBS4DCC

SBS4DCC "Half Deep" Sugar Cube Speakers
Introducing the New SBS4DCC Half Deep series baffles for our exclusive Original Sugar Cube Speakers.

The Half Deep series features 3 models for each of the basic speaker sizes. You guessed it... the Half Deep series are half the height of the Original series speakers and one fourth the height of the Double Deep series speakers.
SBS4DCC 10x20mm Sugar Cube Speakers

The 10x20mm Sugar Cube Speakers feature great volume and great bass. It took a minute to work through the best use of this model sugar cube for model trains. The secret, it turns out, is that this version really needs to mounted in the sound chamber with the cone facing out (solder tabs are inside the sound chamber). They are also very much affected by sound chamber size... more so than the other models... so only the best configuration options are available for this size.
