This week at SHS…I picked up our latest shipment from Hong Kong last week. We again have our #3 manual switches. We also received a limited number of remote control switches. They finally agreed to retest these before we would accept another shipment. We still have the bulk of remote control switches in Hong Kong and should be getting more in the next few weeks. These can be ordered online at:

Robin will be running the famous scratch & dent sale, Don will be on hand to answer questions, Mike will be manning the barbecue grill. Please make plans to attend one or both days to meet the SHS crew, and find some bargains. It is a free and fun day out! We even erect tents in case of rain. Directions can be found on our home page. 2010 Christmas Car – It is now obvious to both Mike and I that Sanda Kan will not be making our Beth. steel 2 bay open top hoppers. We received the final operating sample for the hoppers with a very cryptic note about the painted samples for all the other roadnames. It was not until after Chinese New Year before they made clear that our next builder would be making these cars for us. We thought this meant that they would release the tooling for this one car as the moldings had been paid in full in December. But, that is not the case. I guess this will be our first project with our new builder (who we have not chosen…). Starter Set Sale… We have had many requests for starter sets over the last year, but have not been able to fill as we have sold out of our 20” radius curved track. Robin felt it was time to offer our sets without track and transformer (this is a first for us…). We are now shipping 4, 5 or 6 car switcher starter sets in our set boxes. These can be purchased without track or transformer. We do have an option to include the ART-5400 AC/DC transformers we have used in the past. These are priced to sell with the 4 car set almost 40% off of the MSRP for individually priced items. Check our sets out at: http://showcaseline.com/track/SwitchesSect.html DCC Upgrades…Bill Moitz is still busy this DCC upgrades of our past products. We can install DCC Tsunami sound decoders in our classic SW9 switchers. We add a 1.1” high base sell baffled speaker. This fits perfectly and it is as loud as our F units. Although installing DCC sound in our SW1s is possible, we are unable to do this because of the time needed to fit the baffle for the speaker. But, we are more than happy to help with information on how we did our own SW1s. 2-8-0 Status Update…We have sold out of code 110 2-8-0 steam engines. We still have a few of the AF comp. with several roadnames and roadnumbers being sold out. We do have the DCC Tsunami sound version back in stock Don ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
