Hi, I have an unused Intellibox, a PC, an unused CS1 and an unused 6050. Currently I'm using a 6021 and keyboard to run my trains. My blocks and S88's are all set. All turnouts and signals are attached to K83's and keyboard and work.

What is the simpliest, easiest way to set up digital automatic train operation with four blocks and three trains on one line and four blocks and three trains on another line? I don't mind spending money but prefer not buying a CS3. I'd like to have my grandchildren run the trains.

What are the advantages and disadvantages your method?

Hello,

Your CS1 is the key to your solution.

Your 6021 (with keyboard) connects directly into the CS1 (and note that you must not connect 6021 to your track as well).
Your s88 connects directly into the CS1.

Register your trains and your k83 accessories into your CS1.
You will still be able to activate everything from your 6021+keyboard.

You then use your CS1 to create Routes, and these Routes are activated from the s88.

It is fairly simple to connect.
