Good move Nev. I was going to order for Christmas but will now wait until Marklin can produce something that works or buy from another source : ECOS maybe but then again no colour screen.
Isnt that Adrian a right smarty pants lol

Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

I had mt 6021 fail, and it was replaced by Marklin (about 1 week shy of the warranty expiration). I also killed my IB, but that was my own stupid fault...I unplugged and replugged a booster while powered up. It has been repaired and returned for a fee, and I had bought another so now I have a spare. No problems with my two MS's. I have had two lok problems...my Superman lok's lights did not work (repaired) and the SDS upgrade to my VT08 burned up (currently in Germany for repair). I guess it does indicate a departure from the old "works first time, every time" we had grown to expect with the old Marklin.

I think it comes down to an acceptable failure rate. If its 1:1000 while still pretty high consider the small number of items it is probably acceptable.
At work we went through 5 HP tape drive in a 2 year period, yet our Australian office had no problems.

Sorry to hear what happened Luis, just when you think that M got it together, it go's up in smoke. Hope you get a new replacement fast [:(]
Hey Nev, I was looking at the great prices of the CS2 last night, but then, I'll thought wait for a bit more feedback. Boy am I glad. [:I]
I'll still going to upgrade the CS1 to V3.0

Hi,
I think I can allow Märklin a small room of error. I'm sure CS2 problems are easy to correct and M* would fix them rapidly. I plan to buy a controller in 2009 and I hope that it would be CS2, else I will have to buy CS1.

Hi all,
@Luis: Sorry to hear about your CS2...
@Goofy: The V 3.0.0 to ECoS (or CS) will NOT bring color - that would require hardware upgrade.
I certainly will not upgrade my CS1 to V 3.0.0 (at least not until it's known whether it'll still work together with the CS2 also in V 3.0.0 mode - which I actually doubt, but we'll see).

Thanks. I'm actually counting on the CS2 and CS1 v3.0 to work together. Why do you think they won't?

Yesterday my 60173 on order arrived (now that I don't have my CS2 [V])
Anyway, I tried it with the CS1, connecting it to a 60125 terminal and it didn't work (locos didn't respond to any command).
So, unless there's an alternative way to connect a 60173 to a 60212, they don't work together.

Your posts are most valuable Luis, i will need much time so as to buy my CS II, i will watch carefully the beta testers reports.
Since you are an experienced MRR person, i wonder why you decided to buy it so early?

Because I loved it. When it is working, it's the best controller available.
It does have issues, but I'm betting those will be solved by Märklin.

Luis Well said. You tell us about the faults but you still like the controller. That is exactly what I and I am sure others want to hear.
Well done and hope all is sorted for you soon.

At the risk of being accused of Märklin advertising
- let me add that I am very happy with my CS2. This, despite the fact that it will be going back to Göppingen for replacement/repair of the right-side controller soon! A small number of early units apparently have been fitted with faulty controllers that will cause an intermittent, but annoying problem where both left and right controller menus pop up on the screen without user input. This only happens when you control (in my case) the right-side lok by turning the controller, screen-based input on the tacho works perfect at all times. For shunting operations I do prefer the manual control, though.
The huge difference for me when comparing CS2 to CS1 is the layout facility, I am already dreading the day when I have to hook up CS1 to my layout while the CS2 is away.
@Luis, shouldn't it be possible to connect the 60173 directly to one of the CAN-bus plugs on the 60212? I'll have a look when I get home.
Cheers,
Søren

Hi Soren Pleased that you like the CS2 but a shame that your also has a fault. (why dont they test these properly)
I will order mine if and when they have sorted out the bugs. Hope your is fully working again soon.

Unfortunately it'll continue like this...! There will always be faulty items as it's not possible for M* (nor anyone else) to test every single item thoroughly. And we are to blame to - as we want to buy the cheapest possible item, therefore those items are produced at the lowest possible cost (I know, I know - the CS2 is not "cheap") in often huge series. Among these there will always be faulty items - may it be a subcomponent, a bad soldering, or anything else.
I bet none of us would pay the price a CS 2 would cost should M* make durability tests with each item...!
It shall cost (almost) nothing, be capable of everything, have no errors - yet I bet the workers at M* like to get paid as well as do I... I think they came up with a remarkable item, unknown to almost everyone - and it works really, really good! It has it's drawbacks, yes, but most (if not all) are software issues. And in case of hardware malfunction there is always the warranty (I bet no one has passed the warranty-time yet... [8)] ). Off-course it's sad to have to send this (and especially THIS) "toy" back for repair.
BUT: As it's now possible to use multiple CS 2:s - why not buy a 2:nd and a 3:rd (Hello M*, I should get commission for this...
) unit
- then if one of them has to be sent away, for some reason, you can play with the other one (you can't have that bad luck that 2 units should be faulty).
Regarding the 60173 booster - I remember reading somewhere (didn't find it again yet) that it will not work as a mfx-Booster together with the CS1. But I think it could be connected via the terminal and then work as a 6015/6017 booster. Although at the product-page of the booster on M*:s homepage it's stated that it's only suited for use with the CS 2.

Hi Fredrick. Sounds good : buy two to make sure one of them will work.
The number of faults are too high for any firms goods. No firm tests every item sold as most do not need to do this as their manufacture is of a high standard. The CS2 has been put out to the market too soon and now unitis are being returned and sales lost.
However there are lots of good things being said about the unit and I want one but I aint buying two and I want one that works. It is not that we want a cheap item as we are paying a lot for these toys it is that M want to make it as cheaply as possible and sell for a high price. Its the only way they think they can survive but my view is that quality comes first and if we get it then we will pay for it, at least I will.

What's the number of faulty units? I think I've read about 4 - and mine has serial# 3996 which makes 0.1 % - certainly there will be more out there never heard of.
But I'll give you right - it was rushed to the market due to it's discovery on the net...! That's why there probably still are software-issues (like the English keyboard).
I don't want a cheap item either - then I'd bought something else - I wanted the best (for me!)!
But even at M* the economists rule - and they want as much money as possible, but that's just the world of today, no difference in other business - guess we'll have to live with it.
Neither will I buy another one just for the reason of having one of them working - only when I need 2 the 2:nd one is coming. (but off-course i NEED 2!!!!
)

Hi Fredrik. I think we ahave about 8 buyers on the forum of which three or four have faults. Some more than one fault. I am not even including the one that Luis looked at his dealers which did not work out of the box. We are probably around 30 - 50% failure rate on the forum. Hopefully this is not throughout but we will never know. I will have a look on some of the other forums to see how they are going.
The businesses which will survive the present problems are those providing good quality goods at a reasonable price.

Or Lucas, the Prince of Darkness, John.
I guess this whole thing with failing CS2 is, don't be an early adopter. In the IT world we have a saying that it is best to wait for SP2 or SP3 of an operating system, rather than doing Microsoft's bug testing for them. Let someone else do that. I'm too busy as it is without getting inundated with support calls.
I guess the same thing applies here. It's a shame it happened to a good bloke like Luis.

But if everyone should let "someone else" do the testing then there's no one to take on the testing there will probably be no SP2/3...
I see my early investment in the CS2 as a support to it's further development, and at the same time I'm allowed to be part of the same development. I'm truly sad for those who have gotten faulty units (be it from start or something that happened), but I do expect them to have new/repaired* units a.s.a.p. as I do expect myself to get a new/repaired* unit should mine crash.
I also read something about early serial# having faulty knob-controllers. Sad off-course but they are being exchanged (in this case glad I have a fairly high serial#).
*= repaired within a month of reception of it in Göppingen, else replacement with a new one.

Fredrik,
Like you, I don't mind being an early adopter - and of course we
will
now and then suffer various inconveniences as a result. I am indeed a victim of the "faulty knob-controllers" syndrome with serial# 1900, but that is being dealt with by Göppingen as we speak.
Cheers,

It's back! New unit S/N 3571. Hardware version is the same, 3.1, software is 1.02(1) and I haven't been able to update it yet, for some reason.

Exactly 10 days! Not bad. Was the speedy solution thanks to your dealer or to Märklin, or maybe to them both? ;-)

My dealer has full credit. He simply took one out of the second batch (6 units out of 20 on order) he received and gave it to me.
No response has been received from Märklin regarding my unit yet.

Luis:
I am glad that your dealer took care of you. This is why, if you are lucky enough have a local dealer, you should support them. I wish that we had more dealers here in the US!

Strange thing happened.
Have been repeatedly trying to update my CS2 to 1.05(3) but just can't, despite the fact that the CS2 is responding to pings and has acquired an IP with no problems.
However, today the progress bar in the update screen went green all the way to the end and when I shut down, the screen went green for the first time, just like in 1.05(2). The version still reports itself as 1.02(1), though.
Weird...

Goofy: At some level where the CS2 is made is not that much of an issue. Apple makes most of its hardware in China now, and it is of very high quality. If you choose to manufacture something under your name, you have the responsibility to ultimately control the quality of the product.--MM
