Marklin Mobile Station explanation needed

I have a Marklin 55033 digital starter set back from 2006 which came with the original Mobile Station (MS1) controller. Since I have a few Marklin engines with sound decoders that I don't want to change, I thought I upgrade to the new Mobile Station (MS2) which can control both old Marklin engines with the Motorola protocol and DCC as well.

So I figured that the part number for the new controller is 60653, and it needs a small wall plug power supply and a 60112 control box. This control box looks suspiciously same as the one I got for my MS1.

Does anyone know if there is a difference? Can I just get the MS2 controller and plug it into the old box?
Can I use MS2 and MS1 (as a slave) at the same time?
Also, I don't understand what the difference is between the 60112 control box for Scale 1 and 60113 for H0. I am asking this because there is a load more auctions on eBay for MS2 with 60113 (and also cheaper). 1.9A is not enough anyway, and I will get a booster to beef it up. So again, can I get away with MS2+60113 and a booster?

Any insights are appreciated.
 
A few fast questions there. I can't answer them myself. I am not aware of many people on this forum using the Marklin system so I think answers may be few and far between.
As all your questions regard Marklin equipment I would suggest you pose your questions straight to them. Do they have a users forum?
 
Actual I was not sure to post this here, but the top two topics were Marklin related, so I thought I give it a shoot. I guess Marklin + Scale 1 is particularly rare anyway. I also ask the same question in marklin-users.net.
 
Your most welcome to ask the questions. And many of us would be interested in the answers. Just trying to give you a route to find those answers.
And you never know - some one with a CS1 and 2 may be along in a minute. :D
