I have a Uhlenbrock IB-COM, which really is a Intellibox without any knobs or display, used as a computer interface. I run it with ITrain on a MacBook. One drawback: no MFX on IB-COM available. Best regards, Robert

As for me, I'm not sure what to vote, as I have a 6021, CS1, Ecos and CS2! I currently am using the Ecos on the layout and the CS2 (sometimes with CS1 as an auxiliary controller) on the carpetbahn. So, I cheated and voted for all 4! Edited by user 07 June 2011 07:57:50(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

It does not really matter which CS or MS is used or what they are combined with as this distorts the final picture. Another distortion in any type of poll is that a minority will always vote whereas the majority dont bother. So far we have had 49 votes which is very small compared to the membership. Please dont take my comments the wrong way as it is an interesting poll but with IB and Viessmann added the even smaller minority could have a clear vote. dave
		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.
