Greetings and salutations from the Backshop,

Wow it's hot out there...  You better stay in the train room and enjoy some model railroading action or tackle a new DCC Decoder installation.

This edition of the Backshop Limited features the latest product announcements from SBS4DCC , home of the Original Sugar Cube Speaker.

My installer Steven Fields says now is a great time to tackle any install projects you might be considering; lead times are short and he is ready.  Shoot me an email to get a quote to turn that shelf queen into a DCC powerhouse!

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!
