compatability MTS MFX DCC

[PhilP]

You do not need a booster to deliver the 5 amps . The figures quoted in your previous post relate to the use of the 60061, 3 amp power supply. The use of the dedicated 5 amp switched power pack, 60101, increases the power output to a maximum of 5 amps.. This information comes from the instructions supplied with the CS2. The shop in Hamburg that I purchased the CS2 from had a demonstration circuit and where happy to show the CS2 controlling 2 twin motor LGB diesels running at the sametime.

Thank you for the clarification.

Thank you for the clarification.

Thanks Philip. I hope to be able to do a full report on the CS 2 as soon as the builders have completed their work here. The CS 2 is a much more complex piece of equipment compared with the MTS 2. One feature I am looking forward to using is a tablet or smartphone to control the trains, signals and points etc.

I can see that controlling switches and multiple locos by touching a tablet screen would be fast and efficient compared to menus and buttons...that is one advantage all these kind of wifi-controllable central stations. Looking forward to reading your report...

I contacted LGB to see if the new decoders used in LGB locomotives are compatibility with MTS 1 and MTS 2 "Serial" Central Stations and received this reply:

"we are sorry but this combination doesn't function.
