The second is a 6014 booster connected to the "6017x" connection on the back of the CS2. I think I need a 60125/60145 terminal box if I get a 60174/60175 booster and a 60065 power pack. If I go with another 6017 and power pack I should be able to "daisy chain" it to the existing 6017. Am I going in the right direction here? And what connection on the CS2 would I use to connect the 60125/60145 terminal? Thanks, Craig P.S. I realize I cannot using the mfx recognition feature on the 6017 powered sections of my layout.

I suggest using your existing 6017 for accessories only, and the CS2 and 60174/5(s) for the layout track work. The 60145/45 "Terminal" may be connected to the CS2 using the 9-pin "CAN Bus output" socket. - the terminal comes with a 1.8m cable - Optionally you may introduce 60126 extension (2m each) Each Terminal has 4 device outputs that may also be used to help distribute any (future) Boosters (60174/5) , L88 (60883) and MobileStations [requires small 60124 = 7<>10pin adapter cable]. Terminals may be daisy chained , if you need distance/disbursed locations for devices or more device output sockets.
