Two Special Announcements From Train Control Systems

TCS is now offering Ready-To-Run Brass Models featuring the new WOW-Diesel Sound Decoder.  The first model is due this month.

I have also received the following notice from TCS.  It's not great news but certainly an understandable situation.  I have personally used this product line for over 10 years and note that I pay the same price for a CN-GP decoder today as I did in 2005.

First, the announcement...



From TCS...

No one likes having to bring this news, but unfortunately, it is time...

With the cost of everything on the rise it has come time for us to raise our prices and end the introductory WOWSound sale. 

This price increase will go into effect July 1st, 2015 and will be approximately 15% across the entire product line. 

The WOWSound introductory sale prices will also be coming to an end. 

The 1516 and 1530 will be at $109.95 MSRP and the Keep-Alive™ equipped version (1517 and 1533) retailing for $129.95. 

Again, we're sorry to have to make this price change, but in order to keep innovating and producing a high quality product our prices need to reflect the value of the parts and labor being put into them.

Thanks for you continued support, and feel free to call or email with any questions you may have!




Streamlined Backshop has the full line of TCS products, including WOW-Steam and the new WOW-Diesel EMD decoders in stock and ready to ship.

I also have many new arrivals from TCS I will highlight in the next edition of the Backshop Flyer.

Order now to take advantage of current pricing.  Orders shipped from the factory on or after July 1 will reflect the new pricing so I can't guarantee any price after that date.

Thanks, Bryan

Use this handy portable tool to keep your servos centered while you mount them under the layout.

The tool consists of a battery box connected to a small circuit board that continuously puts out a centering signal for the servo (1.5 ms pulse).

Keeping your servos properly centered while mounting is the key to making the servos work best.

The battery box has an on/off switch to save your batteries when not in use.

Everyone using servos for turnouts needs one of these.

Requires 3 AA batteries.
