We can now speculate what else might be available
via the web user-interface
May be a semi-ergonomic means to manage the layout signals and turnouts ...
That is something I had considered - will the current cs2 PC program connect to the wifi box?
Also does this then introduce a way to update a standard ms2 without using a cs2/3?

In response to a query re Lococards
The 60667 MS2 WLAN no longer has a card reader integrated in the device.
The space in the unit was needed for the additional technology.

Well that is a shame given how prone to loosing its mind and needing a reset the MS2 design is.
So every time one must pull all the locos back to programming track to relearn them?
Double bad for DCC only locos that you need to manually set up in the MS to get all the functions.
Can it at least slave off of a normal MS2 to enable getting the data that way?
Toys of tin and wood rule!

I am on the fence on the conveyed meaning, and whether it is the MS2 WLAN that has the "web user interface" or if it is in the 60117.
it seems to me to be rather overkill to factor this into the MS2 WLAN itself when it (for operation) must connect to
either
a CS (home network) or the 60117 anyway!
The stability (hardwired to power through the 60113/6) of the 60117 would appear to be a more logical coordination point, and maybe beter able to provide the file space for firmware images to ALL
- MS2 legacy
- MS2 WLAN
- Trackbox

I do have an outstandin query on the subject of " who is Master".
If, (and I am not yet assuming it is possible until I get handon) the MS2 WLAN + 60117 can work with a 60116(3)
WITHOUT
another legacy MS2 6053/7,then it needs to be able to be the master, but even then - is it the MS2 WLAN
OR
the 60117 that holds the Roster details.

I concur, and would be inclined to cancel my order if not for my technical curiosity.

About the non existence of the card reader/writer it is not time yet to blame. Maybe it can save and read configuration to an external device. That would be much better than the cards solution.
Let's wait and see...

you are refering to one aspect of transferring data.
I am more interested in the operational selection of trains. I.e aleviating the non-ergonomic and time consuming need to change glasses and pick through 40 meaningless dots having to read the screen as you go.
I would rather look at the trains

I understand your point of view, although I think the Mobile Station, even it can have up to 40 locs "pre-configured", it is not intended
to be used with such a number.
As a you say, the card is a fast way to select the desired locomotive.
