I will have to downsize my layout as a result of a house move. Given that the space available to me in the new house is only about two thirds what I currently enjoy I have decided to switch to TT guage. Can I use my CS3 with DCC models in this guage?

Yes, no problem. I've no experience with it but the CS3 is independent of the scale. The only thing to take into account is the output voltage. Sometimes smaller scales like N uses a little bit lower output voltage. Don't know if you can set that somewhere in the CS3

Consider getting the 60041 power supply that can be switched between 19 V and 15 V.
While the decoders should be able to handle 19 V, the 15 V setting will reduce the wear on the motors.

It is independent of the scale but not of the decoder program in the loco.

Some say so, some say so.

The are different power supplies for LGB, I, H0, and N with different voltages. High voltages are bad for small motors. Larger scales work better with higher voltages.
But the CS3 is the same.
