Hello Jorge,

Welcome to Juhan's masterpiece, this great forum!

You actually need the old digital units for all your accessories, turnouts etc.

The new Mobil Station will only control locomotives. I see it as a hand throttle for your locomotives.

Thanks for the Uhlenbrock tip. Unfortunately I don't speak german and the manufacture web site don't have another language , but now I find a spanish dealer with some translated material; www.trenes-aguilo.com

Thanks
Jorge

Dear all

In my experience the Daisy is a very good product, but it cannot be used on big layouts. You can only run about two loco's at a time before it starts overheating and cutting out.
I would definitely recommend it for someone staring out in digital with the trraditional 4' x 8' layout.

Hi Jorge,

Welcome to this forum. If you really want to stick to Marklin, You can use the mobile station to control all your loco's and keyboard, control units, memory, ... to control your turn-outs. This is the first scenario.

The second scenario is that you checkout other manifacturers like Uhlen****.

A third future scenario, Wait a couple of years before you start investing. With The M***** - systems being introduced you will be able to invest in a new high tech system. This will take some time before all components are available, but maybe worthwile waiting.

I Currently use only a control unit and am awaiting Marklin developments before i invest. But maybe I might stick with the older system. Reliability, Prices will go down,....

good luck

Hi, Everybody

Thanks for all the advice, come back to marklin hobby is really very exciting, but now i must face some new problems my father could not imagine 25 year ago when he made is last layout for me.


I think we have here 3 main conclusions;
1- The new Marklin Digital system is postponed and will be in the beginning less reliability ( I Think that central station will be not ergonomic, I prefer the old fashion keypad..)
2- If i want to use the new mobil station I must have two separate digital circuit's and it's possible that mobil station it's not powerful enough for a medium size layout
3-If I want a completed integrated system before my daughter marry (she have 10 years old...) i must choose between the classic digital maklin system and one independent manufacture like Uhlenbrock (Intellibox seams to me i very nice option)

Let me know if i take the right conclusions
And may thanks again for the help

My view Jorge would be to do nothing until the new Marklin system is available. The first sets should appear in a few months and no doubt this forum will be the first to have on tested. I know it is frustrating but better to keep your cash until you see how everything works. There are benefits with start sets that if you need a loco you get a mobile station free.

I am in the same crossroad. I was about to go Intellibox from my 6021 but then I heard about the new M system.

I'm going to start my layout this summer, and was eager to start testing the Intellibox now on the floor, but I'll wait. I couldn't resist the 29811's appeal and have one on order from Modellbahnlicht, very nice price for 279€ with a beautiful V200, K-track, 60VA transf. ,wagons that go with some I have already, adding further homogeneous consisting and.... a mobile station!, virtually for free; actually all for the price of one V200.

So, I decide to wait and see what the Central Staion is all about BUT, if it does not support DCC in any way or form, I WILL go Intellibox New Generation: the Uhlenbrock people are for sure up to something, I guess.... I would!

One big screen Intellibox II would be nice. Let's all wait and see!

Wonder who'll have the very first mobile station on his layout ...
