Fleischmanns new PROFI-BOX cost about 150 euro. So i wonder if this will become in the same pricelist as Fleischmanns...? Goofy I don't think it will be more expensive than Mobile Station (1,9A). It is basically the same hardware include, and the manufacturing cost should be the same or lower. However, I doubt that the MS2 will be available in the same volumes on Ebay for a nickle and a dime. The positioning of this product is a bit higher and it will probably not be available in the cheapest starter sets. They will be delivered with the simple IR remote instead. Wrong...! It´s an new shape of model and besides there is now an booster outside of MobilStation. The power of 1,9 Amps is not inside of MS anymore time...! In fact,it will cost more...! Its´totally new shape and therefore more jobs by fixed it...! Goofy

I can't see why the new MS should be more expensive than the old MS (after the first hype is over).

Never mind about startsets,for God´s sake...! Besides,i see forward to shop an MS2 60653. Never ever startset,because they are always worse condition while to shop in pieces has better quality. In my opion,i see MS2 itemnr:60653 in better quality instead of startset. There has been in complaintment about startset,which are too often in bad condition. Many customer has become dissapointed about startset. Goofy

Mama, weer all crazee now! I told you once and I told you twice. Now for the last time: if the starter sets are sold at the same price then MS2 from split starter sets are gonna sell at the same price as MS1 (as soon as the hype is over). I don't know the RRP of 60653. But 60652 is as expensive as a starter set with MS1. The same can be said about the transformer 6647 and will probably be the same about 60653. We're writing about MS2 and how to get it cheaply.

And what´s happening...? somebody are saying,that i´m wrong... Really...? Impossible,when the truth are saying that is an complete new MS2 which also costs more to created than MS1. It´s has become more advanced digitalcomponent too,which has become more expensive to producing. I don´t take care of the startsets,because there is smaller quality in the cars and locomotivs.So does even MS in the startsets too...! It´s better quality material by shopping seperat things,like locomotivs,cars,digitalsystem...etc Goofy

Joined: 17/09/2006(UTC) Posts: 18,778 Location: New Zealand		I'm with you Tom! Goofy, Tom is referring to MS2's coming out of broken up starter sets. If the new starter sets with MS2 are no more expensive than the old sets with MS1, why should the MS2 out of those sets sell for any more than the MS1's do now? How do you know the MS2 is more expensive to produce than the old MS1? Do you have the production cost breakdowns from Marklin? The biggest cost in any new product is Research and Development and bringing it to market. Once there, it will be relatively cheap to manufacture. The Chinese or Taiwanese can probably mass produce them for $10 each!

Also different in cost between MS1 and MS2 with own itemnr. When an new digitalcomponents relaesed,it will always cost more than the old one...! Just take look at CS2...! It´s has become more expensive than CS1. Why...? Because it´s has become a new digitalcomponent...! So simple and easy to understand...!!! Goofy [:(!]

Am I on the right track Goofy? Cheers..... Mike.

The RRP for MS1 is 149,95 Euro. We will see what the RRP for MS2 is. MS2 could be more expensive coz it now has a loco card reader. OTOH it should be cheaper coz they don't have to pay ESU anymore. The booster transistors have been moved from the MS to the connection box. This should have no effect on the total production cost (and it always was like that with the Trix MS). Fleischmann now have the Profi-Boss, so M* need a starter set controller that handles solenoids.

It´s better quality material by shopping seperat things,like locomotivs,cars,digitalsystem...etc There are MS with 1.2 A (old H0 starter sets) and 1.9 A (new H0 starter sets, gauge 1 starter sets, sold separately). I bet that all 1.9 A MS have the same quality. I also bet that all Delta Controls, CU 6021, and CS1 have the same quality (starter set or not). Many starter set locos and cars have the same quality as items sold separately. It didn't pay for M* to have two different versions of the MS1, so they gave up. Therefore I bet there'll be only one version of the MS2. And I hope the throttles have good quality (coz they had the CS2 guinea pigs to fix the toothing problems).

Joined: 12/11/2004(UTC) Posts: 548 Location: Maryland, USA		Hi Roland, My interpretation is that Tom is defining the CS2 guinea pigs as those early purchasers of the CS2. A guinea pig is a phrase used for people who buy something early and they get to experience the first version of a new product, which often times can have unexpected (and expected) issues/bugs/problems/failures/flaws/features. And as for teething, when new teeth come in or are introduced to the mouth it can be painful. So I think Tom is referring to humans who bought the first CS2 (guinea pigs) and experienced the joys of working with new technology specifically a throttle issue (teething). Then again it could be that the guinea pigs that power the CS2 were gnawing through the electronics causing the throttle problems! John

So hopefully the hardware is beyond teethings problems now, but the software still evolves. Like bananas: it's delivered when it's green and ripens at the user's place. MS2 can be updated through a CS2. I hope the MS2 hardware will be ripe right from the start (now that the throttles have been tested).

It's "parent" control station CS2 does and allows you to have mutiple protocls on a track at the same time. If this is the case and the new MS does NOT support multiple protocols then there could be some serious control issues! anyone know the status of multiple protocol support? Thanks John

No, but a slave MS doesn't need to know the protocols. It only talks to the parent via CAN bus. My CU 6021 can control DCC locos (coz it's connected to my IB). It doesn't need to know about DCC or 28 speed steps, IB handles that.
