 THE BACKSHOP EXPRESS 231231

A warm New Years greetings from the Backshop!


2023 was such a busy year filled with so much change and so many new opportunities to share the joy of Model Railroading with each of you. It really proved to be a great year ending with the launch of this Great New Website.


It occurs to me as a I write this issue, the Backshop will celebrate 15 years of serving model railroaders and DCC enthusiasts in 2024. I can vividly remember staring out the window on New Years Eve at the frozen Indiana landscape (well technically, staring at my in-laws frozen dog kennel in my backyard but that's another story!) wondering what I could do to survive those desperate days of the Great Recession and saying to myself... "well, I know how to fix model trains."


Now I can only think to myself, and really only to say to each of you, thank you for your support and patronage of the Backshop for so many years. I just never thought it would be this. We look forward to an amazing 2024 and wish you a joyous and prosperous New Year.


This final edition of the Backshop Express for 2023 highlights some exciting new products from SBS4DCC. These great new products are in stock now!


Chief Backshop Installer Steven Fields is hard at work creating custom DCC experiences in models from Z to G scale. He is ready to quote your next maintenance, repair or decoder installation. Shoot us an email to discuss your next project.


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. As a reminder, you can place a SBS4DCC No-Obligation Backorder to reserve stock and avoid the need to search constantly hoping to catch one on the shelf.


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!
