 The Backshop Limited 221105

Greetings to the Friends of the Backshop,


I hope this finds you well and ready to get back to your Christmas tree, coffee table, book shelf, basement, spare room, garage, "train room", back yard, garden, clubhouse, gymnasium, outlet mall, fairground, exhibition hall, local zoo... or really just wherever you make the magic of model railroading happen. Think about that for a minute! We surely are a determined group of enthusiasts!


I will have limited availability from November 11 through November 17, 2022. The cutoff date for shippable orders is November 9, 2022. The web store will remain open and you may continue to place orders. I will resume regular shipping on or about November 18, 2022. Thanks for your patience and understanding as I tend to some life events that require my attention.


This edition of The Backshop Limited features the latest news and product announcements from Digitrax, ESU and SoundTraxx among others.


Chief Backshop Installer Steven Fields has had a minute of rest and is ready to tackle any install projects you might be considering; lead times are short, he is focused and sharp as a tack. Shoot us an email to get a quote to turn that shelf queen into the pride of your fleet!


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!

The All-New ESU 58751 LokSound 5

Micro Direct NMRA DCC Sound Decoder

for Atlas Legacy Type Models


ESU 58751 LokSound 5 Micro Direct NMRA DCC Sound Decoder - Atlas Legacy Type

Introducing the all new ESU 58751 LokSound 5 Micro Direct NMRA DCC Sound Decoder - Atlas Legacy Type.


The ESU 58751 LokSound 5 Micro - Atlas Legacy Type has been specially developed for installation in N gauge locomotives of the Atlas and Intermountain brands: it can be inserted directly instead of the analog board installed there as standard. However, the decoder can also be used for similar models from other manufacturers at your own discretion.


The LokSound 5 micro DCC Atlas Legacy is also a “direct style decoder developed for early (before 2016) Atlas, Intermountain (and others). The decoder was made for locos produced before sound was added during production. This replaces the popular ESU 73100 Select Direct Micro.
