We are quite capable of installing a replacement, the question is how to get hold of a replacement screen. Has anybody done this ? Please tell how you were able to get hold of the replacement part.

You may check with Marklin, sometimes they offer discount for a new unit like a CS3 but this may be limited due to shipment charges to Australia I have mine repaired on 2 occasions and had to wait 3 month minimum. I checked eBay.de (Germany) and a few are available for 200 to 300 EUR. They seem to be still very sought after (because the CS3 does not have all the CS2's functionalities yet- I think. Be sure to pick a harware version 4.33 or later to avoid S88 link problems, galvanic insulation, larger power output, etc. Cheers Jean

Reading the forum here I see others in the capability of the track diagram (invoking itineraries). I may be wrong of course as I know the CS2 (I have 2 of them since 5 years) but not having a CS3 yet. I have focused on what it will bring me additional. Frankly discussion in this forum and the German Stummi forum seem not very convincing yet. Eventually the CS3 will offer more possibilities but so far I am not convinced (but would be glad to change my opinion). Remember that on the CS2 Marklin fixed critical issues on S88 and on Galvanic insulation 3 to 4 years after its first market introduction. Cheers Jean

Cheers Jean ok I understand The way you wrote it suggested that the cs3 was lower than the cs2 ... but from what I read and what Mike my dealer told me this is not the case. The cs2 that I have since 2012 serves as an interface since I use Itrain in 2013... no need even less than a cs3
