I have my CS1 connected to my CS2 and can control both loco’s and turnouts (points) from both CS’s. I was wondering, will the routes work properly (or at all) if I connect the S88’s to the CS1 and not the CS2 and then add the same routes I have on the CS2 to the CS1? Will anything blowup? Any comments would be appreciated. Regards Andreas K

I took a change and connected all my S88’s to my CS1 and earthed them from the CS1 (brown wire). As my CS1 is connected to my CS2 via a crossover cable all routes are triggered and work properly. It seems they also switch bit faster. Regards Andreas K

Besides one incident which was an error on the programming of the routes itself. (One signal that was not suppose to be in a route was accidental added and it started a train on a different route) Everything runs smoothly and all my routes are working properly as it was intended. Currently I am running 23 Loco’s where one stops and the next one starts up. There are 11 Loco’s running at any given time. This excludes the shuttle trains. I am thinking of adding another S88 to the CS2 which then only controls the shuttles. Regards Andreas K

The CS2 may be programed to look for commands from a CS1 before it poles the S88 which seams backwards. Maybe all the years it took ESU to get an s88 Bus connection for the CS1 was worth something. That is a good find Andreas,
