<br />Well I did something I thought I never would do. Only a few days ago I sent Bigdaddynz an email saying I would wait a long while before I bought the new CS.
In the mean time, I got an insider offer for the new 39013 01 loco for $679.
I thought, Euromodeltrains has a pre order for the CS2 for $669.
It's ordered (CS2) - I guess I will be one of the people to suffer through debugging this time. I will certainly keep one of my 6021s for backup. I am excited about the new one where as the first one did not get me moving.
We will see.

According to a witness involved in a discussion at the Marklin "road-show"( Stummi forum) : First batchs of CS2 started to be produced in February 2008 to be sent to Beta-Testers... From the beginning It tooks almost 2 years ( a little bit less )to developp it with a team of about 15 people within Marklin walls at Stuttgart street - Goppingen . No Viessmann, no ESU in any way , were involved into the developpment of CS2 . So they took 6 months already to fix bugs ... ( sorry for my poor English )

Untill I have a permanent layout, I think I will stick to my CS1.
But, one day, maybe...... |

Well, I did it. I broke down and ordered a CSII and a booster. May the Lord have mercy on my soul.

Price for CS2 from AJCKIDS is $660. I ordered a few weeks ago without checking the price. Goopd move on my part, nobody has better pricing.
Nobody !

<br />King Flash, you should move to NZ. Here, the NZD has strengthend against the USD, after falling for some time. Most likely we would get slugged 12.5% GST (VAT) on something over $400 coming into the country, but this is not always the case. So, assuming USD30 postage, the CS2 would cost around NZD1020 plus a possible 12.5% making a total of around $1150. The CS1 retailed here for anything between $1100 to $1400.
NZ retail price for the CS2 is NZ$1369 - see www.toottoot.co.nzThe price I state in my previous post was based on bringing in a unit from overseas - the US or maybe Germany. I think the pricing isn't too bad, considering the CS1 was $1100 from the same dealer. For your extra $220 (above bringing a CS2 in from overseas) you get local support and warranty repairs. Not too bad!

It could be between 1000 and 1100 EUR for the Mega starter set (two sound locos). |

I would suggest a mega start set with two sound locos for 1300 euros less whatever the discount dealers can do.
