If the CS2 has a Selectrix, S6 Port no need for a green knobbed model, Thanks Lutz for the concise translation.

Why can't the knobs be interchangable so that each unit has a red and green set of knobs?
But in the end the result is the same, turn knob and the speed changes on chosen locomotive. So does it really matter what the colour is, or is it just a matter of choice and preference.

I am excited by the pictures of the new CS. I was totally turned offed by the display of the first version and chose to stick with my 6021. In fact, I will stick with it until the new one is debugged. This is a classic case of not anticipating technology. No color on the first for example, forgetting all the other issues. This is in my opinion an embaressment to Marklin to be introducing a product at this point when they have not solved the problems with their earlier product.
But, I look forward to their new product and hope it will be something that I want. Eric

"For the first time by a Märklin multi train controller integrated track layout control panel, the individual switching elements of magnetic articles and the routes of a Memory as well as the contacts s88 are all considered. This user interface provides an optimum in the clarity and switching comfort for the control of a layout. With the track occupancy signal it can also be detected whether a train is currently in a specific track areas. This is a high safety benefit especially for hidden layout areas."
I'm wondering what it is . More : " how " it is ?

What make you think there will be a TRIX CS2, if you need one go for the Viessmann Commander or the ESU EcoS. Are there anything special you want from the "TRIX CS 2"
/Berndt
Hello Berndt, for example the EcoS has no proper working Sx protocole support. It supports it only through the central, but not through the boosters. This is for example one reason to buy a trix CS. kind regards Stephan

Ehm, Guyz, could "digital" instead of "systems" be an indication of a change in product positioning. A new CS2 with DCC support might get a lot of 2 rail users to buy it ... a true breakthrough for M*. Interchangeable colour knobs is a good idea - interested Dave?  maybe Purellum would be interested too  licence fees apply (contact me for details indicating the colour)  Cem. |

Marklins new CST2 is still an fantastic for members of Marklin.
I wonder if there is Trixmember who now are reacting after information about CST2 from Trix.
Besides is there an Trix forum somewhere...?

Goofy
Too soon There is nothing official about a new Trix CST2 and here in France many people are still on the beach . In this country i'm surrounded with DCC and most of forums are talking about DCC systems only . There are more and more secondary incompatibilities between DCC systems .As said a technician involved in DCC ( working with MOROP too ):each manufacturer has his own interpretation of some features which are not mandatory in NMRA .( very few are Mandatory ) For example : Lenz have their own way to count the Bytes in a CV . Or some decoders programmed with a central don't work with another central , you have to reprogramm it with your own central.. + many other incompatibilities . More & more people recommend to choose items from a unique manufacturer or to act with full knowledge of the facts to avoid bad surprises [}:)]. But all people agree to say that it should be much worse without DCC NMRA specifications ( At least items are communicating with a unique language . But the language is not all..) With DCC it is recommended to avoid cheap bottom range decoders / their single advantage is : to be cheap .( quality of cristal ,instability , no updated programmation way etc...)

You have to think that MArklin is back on the right track if the excitement that CS2 has generated is any indication. If CS2 proves robust, free of glitches (and reasonably priced) then you have to feel that the road back to profitability is somewhat clearer. That plus some of the "little things" that MArklin have done, like the additional siding in starter sets. I like that.  |

I agree Macca. Also Marklin need to ensure that all components outlined in the architecture diagram are available from day 1. We don't want another 60172 booster fiasco. That way people to want / need to expand their control systems can. Documentation needs to be available from day 1 too.

Something is happily buzzing me : they said " 13 integrated route control panels (Memory), each with 32 routes "
Enormous ! It means 400 routes ! Equivalent to 18 "old " Memory ( 24 routes each and we couldn't use more than 3 Memory )! What could be hidden behind such a hugh choice of routes ? Imagine : 400 !!!! If not a typo , I believe there is something.... Just another wild speculation .

There are two card readers built-in into the actual prototype, as u can see their slot-in openings on the picture showing the frontside. Thats why they moved the knobs to the bottom of the CS2.

Ehrm? Why is this so special? As long as you don't activate all routes at the same time the number of routes, or switches, or whatever, is solely limited to the non volatile memory present in the box. Since memory is dirt cheap nowadays it seems logical that they offer way more than in the old memory. Bert

Slightly technical question, maybe. Do you still need an "ugly box" track section for connection of the CS2? Or does the O/B outlet (2 of) on the back of the CS2 do the job? regards Kimball |

You don´t need the "ugly box",because CST2 is the central control which are leaving out digitalpower to the tracks at once. So therefor outlet O/B needs only...! Goofy |

I'm sure Rutger will test it in "Allt om Hobby" and have it on his shows at model train fairs and shops in Sweden... But he seems to be more of a DCC/Intellibox fan the last 5-10 years...
Sweden is a small market since we buy most stuff from German dealers nowadays... Accurate market demographics has never been a strong point in M marketing... |

Yep, it's "safe" to do seminars in your "home market" only... And cheaper... Let foreign dealers take the marketing costs for marketing the product outside Germany... |
