Märklin is getting more ducking acting about digital system. Not quite sure what Goofy means here, but they would certainly be doing themselves disservice. In English we would say 'they are cutting off their nose to spite their face', i.e. doing something stupid.

[...] *** a french dealer who said he received a note from Marklin about it.... As you say: just a rumour until we see a copy of that note. There are nine languages on the selection screen of the new PC version of the CS2 software:  And four of them are actually working (the top row). Since the real CS2 supports more than four languages I thought it would be just a matter of time until the PC version supported more than just four. I don't think they will reduce it to just two languages. Edit: The new, updated version supports 7 languages (Russian still show German text, Japanese only shows black rectangles (font problem), Swedish, Spain, and Italian are now working). So far new feature appear in German even if you select another language. Would be nice to have at least English and German for all new features - English probably is more useful for Märklin fans who do not speak German. There are many Märklin companies. Märklin Netherlands is normally rather quick with their web site. They also supply Dutch PDF files describing the installation of CS2 software &c. Märklin France and Märklin Belgium seem to have fewer resources for such services. |

That will not be appreciated in The Netherlands (Holland  ). Even whe are neighbours with Germany, not all off us talk the language... 'Nur ein bisschen....'  Greetings, Jan
