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?

Sometimes smaller scales like N uses a little bit lower output voltage. Don't know if you can set that somewhere in the CS3

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.
