I've not seen one either Goofy. Mine is on a control desk that was a keyboard/P.C. cart. My mouse pad, MS2 also ar on it. The back section which held a monitor is underneath the layout base. The lower shelf holds my power supply, and a lighting/accessory tramsformer. I have 4 feet width between the two layout sides, so my chair pivots around to rwach and see.

What do you mean by 'rack'? A typical English interpretation of this would be a rack cabinet as used for computer equipment in a mainframe environment, or a commercial shelving system (typically metal) as used in a warehouse. At the bottom end the term could be used for ordinary shelving in a home.

The computer desk description given in answer to your post I wouldn't normally regard as a 'rack'. Perhaps you could expand more on what you are thinking of.

My CS3 Plus sits on a desk along with the mouse and S88 and power pack and control for lighting houses etc. Not sure what Goofy is looking for. Maybe something to hold the unit at an angle facing him?
Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

That is what I suspect, rather like the cs1 and ms1 had as accessories, which is why I asked for clarification.

Maybe he hasn't realised the cs3 has adjustable feet to control the tilt of the unit.

What adjustable feet?

There are several words that are synonym:
position
rack
degree
angle

What about a Laptop Stand, they can be angled, are strong, easy to use, lots of images to check out.

I have made an arrangement out of a sort of rolling table with sliding plastic baskets for storing stuff. The tabletop is a piece of wooden shelf wide enough to have the CS3 in the middle, a couple of MS2s on the left side and room on the right side for the pc mouse attached to the CS3 and a few tools or pen and paper when needed. The CS3 is not lying flat on the shelf but rests on a slanted piece of plywood in order to have a better view of the screen. The rolling table makes it eaiser to get to different parts of the layout or to reach under the layout when needed. There are some thin strips of wood at the front of the plywood that the CS3 rests on in order to keep it from sliding off.
