When trying to add locomotives I began to have serious difficulties. The decoder was not read or even started reading.
At this point a booster 60174 was connected to CS3.
I tried turning it off and after that I added the locomotives without problem.
I have read some post in this forum about possible incompatibility between CS3 and 60174.
I leave the alert here ... and hope Marklin is aware of these feedbacks.

Regards.

Please do not shout.

If you wish to be helpful may I suggest you address your concerns directly to Marklin at service@maerklin.de

I further suggest you actually provide some substance to your description and problem analysis

- What decoder or decoders
- What firmware version of the decoder(s)
- What CS3
- What software version of the CS3
- What firmware version of the 60174.

- what power supplies (and what CS3 power supply setting)
- whether you were using the main or programming track
- whether there are other devices also connected to the same track output

- what you last did , before you expected the read to occur
- whether the loco/decoder actual is known to work
- have you cleaned the track

- whether you tried manual discovery

and best of all
- is the situation repeatable.

The CS3 and 60174 booster are compatible with each other, but there were some issues with boosters caused by the application of one of the CS3 updates.
