Is there any way to transfer information from a CS2 to a CS3? And if not would transferring it to a CS3+ and then from the CS3+ to the CS3 be possible?

I also recently upgraded from a CS2 to a CS3+. It was not as easy as I thought it would be. When I restored the CS2 backup to the CS3+, none of the loco images were transferred over, so I needed to add all the loco images. I have almost 150 locos, all digital, so it took some time.

As issue I am having is with ESU decoders. I don't have many, but when trying to change the configuration of the decoder I get the message "The decoder has a changed firmware and is re-registered for security reasons". If I try again, I get the same message. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I can do? I don't have any problems with MM or MFX decoders.

Another question I have is, can I use my 6017 booster if I hook it up to my CS2 and make the CS2 a slave to the CS3+? I use the booster to power several 6083 decoders for some of my switches.

My guess about the problems with the loco pictures, is that the backup only contains a reference to a file name which contains the picture, and the names and picture sizes has changed for CS3.

Regarding old 6017 boosters, then I have decided to skip the old booster's. We have made the same decision in my club.

Both home and in the club, we have a separate bus for switch decoders and signal decoders, connected to it's own 60174 booster, and this is a very good decision, now we have started using the new m83 (60832) mfx decoders. You can not use mfx with old 6017 booster's.

I have never tried to connect a 6017 booster to a CS2 slave, but I think that there is a good chance for it is working.

Thanks. I already have the 60123 cable on order and hopefully will receive it soon. Does anybody have an idea about the issue with ESU decoders?

I was having problems configuring it. It is working OK now, so it was probably user error.
