Greetings from the Backshop!
SBS4DCC is now 100% dedicated to providing the very best DCC products and nearly anything else you might need to complete a locomotive or layout conversion. If you are interested, the very last of the trains and track and such are now available on eBay under seller name little_zip.
DELAYED SHIPPING NOTICE! I will be out of office February 8 through February 13, 2024. The cutoff time for shippable orders is 8pm CST February 7, 2024. The web store will remain open and you may continue to place orders during this period. I will resume regular shipping on or about February 14, 2024. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we head south to cheer on the 2023 State, National, World Champion Athens Alabama High School Cheer Team as they compete for the 2024 titles.
This edition of the Backshop Express reintroduces a great Backshop Solution. I have finally gotten the CAD updated and artwork ready to do a production run of The Original SBS4DCC Wheel & Axle Wipers and the super handy SBS4DCC Ring Terminals. I expect to receive a shipment in May based on current lead-time. I am only re-running a few models of the axle wiper designs to keep it simple. Be sure to preorder a supply for your projects now!
I do have a small selection and quantity of some of the N Scale Wheel Wipers available that I will list on the site soon enough. I don't plan to rerun any of them unless the demand for this run is so compelling I just can't ignore them so get them while you can.
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!
