I connected it as instructed and plugged my older 60653 into the second plug in the box. For the past 4 hours, the new MS has displayed "Auxiliary MS" and "Data transfer Activ" with a bar going from left to right. The old one just keeps displaying the loco that is listed. When I first connected the new MS to the box it asked if I wanted to upgrade the box. I said yes and it did. How long does this process usually take? Regards Mike C

If the progress bar freezes for more than 5 minutes, I usually get impatient and disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet for 10+ seconds and try again. Märklin software shows the same level of quality assurance as all Märklin products and software crashes during updates are to be expected.

I ended up getting a CS3+ as well. Now I only had tested it with a floor temporary large oval and a siding, so some track joints may have been loose.

With a CS3 and a 100 W power supply (Märklin 60101) my mid-size layout and its 26 locos and 50 power turnouts with lanterns works with 30% reserve power. No booster needed. The 29000 Kit loop MUST work without any issues with only one power point especially when it is brand new. Agreed, on permanent layouts (no plug in plug out or rails) it is better to have power feed points every 2 m maximum. Cheers Jean
