Getting Started with Märklin Central Station 3 (CS3 Episode 1)

Thank you so much for putting this together. So very helpful!

Does it work with all Märklin locomotives?

Getting Started with Märklin Central Station 3 (CS3 Episode 1)Very good

HELLOOOO ! DANES SHOULD CHOOSE DANISH.

Bedankt

First the videos are excellent! I have been using an MS2 w a dozen trains (1 at a time lol) and Half dozen switches. So it was time to change. The CS3 and supply for my trains came today. All mfx gear. Can I simply attach the CS3 instead of the MS2 to discover my components? Meaning leave everything on the track where it is??? I’m sure a bit will be needed to tell it what switches are where. Thank you again!!!!

do you no the difference between the central station 60226 and 60216?

very good

why they put that LINE in my comment/// ///???? COMMIES

like you videos just about to buy this system the cheaper one i dont need the outher one only have a 5-9 foot latout and only 26- marklin locos some also ROCO lited passenger cars also thanks for the help -right now i have the ESU controller - not happy with it

I would like to see if a modern digital locomotive can run on an analog layout with the older transformers.

Hvor stor/ stærk ( watt ) er strøm forsyningen på Central Stationen 3+ vis det er rigtig forstået, at der er en ?

Díky!

Hi Bo and thx for ur great videos, I have learned alot (after beeing away from modelrailroading for over 30 years)watching ur videos. I recently bought me the CS3+ w 60041 powersupply. I have used the MS2 after starting up ca 1,5 yrs ago. Its all MFx, all locos and all turnout decoders.w the MS2 all works just fine,but after starting w the CS3+ strange things happens. No loc on the track and all works fine,but when starting a loc w sound and etc the turnouts start blinking ( the lanterns) and the signal blinks. I have to shut it all down and start it up again to get control of the items,but same thing happens again. it works fine ( it seems) with no locos on the track. I have tried to give items new adresses in mfx before putting locs ontrack,I have tried to remove everything from the layout and the setup.I even but some tracks on the table in my living room with 1 turnout and 1 loc. still flashing when I start the loc. but it all went fine w the MS2.. how can this be? I dont understand what to do anymore.What can be wrong? pls help :)

Finally! It is on it's way! :)

How much $$$?

As always, you are clear and precise. I appreciate that you do not assume that the user knows the jargon. Therefore your videos are truly helpful to the learner who is entering this field for the first time. Thank you.

Do you have a bloopers video? It’s so exciting watching these? It would be cool if Marklin would have a automatic take over program to help the engineer avoid any accidents.🚂

Hello, I am forced to change DCC systems and would like to know if the Marklin CS3 will support Viessmann decoders and if the CS3 is a viable of option for N scale. I am running new Trix and Fleischmann locomotives. Thank you

I haven’t got time just yet to watch this, but am I able to connect a basic start up locomotive? I want to be able to buy a starter set with R2 curves and have double track and operations

Please note that in the brief manual that comes with the CS3+, it says that "You can force the Central Station to turn off by pressing the STOP button for a long time (up to 10 seconds). Pressing the STOP button again leads back to starting the Central Station again".

the best train tutorials channel on the web. Thank you.

Amazing presentation! 👍👍👍
Can you please tell us how long the track feeding wire is and do you know if there is an extension for the track feeding wire? Thank you.

I have just started watching the video and paused it to read the code number of the power supply needed for the CS3+. However, I noticed that you are using 60126 twice as the code for CS3+. Shouldn't it be 60216? Will you please look into it? Thank you.

Hello, may I please ask an opinion question. I am new to HO trains. My son has the Mobile Station 2 and accidentally put a crack in the display. How would you recommend getting a repair, considering the shipping cost back to Maerklin in Goeppingen?

Excelente explicación para iniciarse en el conocimiento de las funciones de la CS3+

God video, du fik mig overbevist om at gå efter Central Station 3. Håber du har en video om hvordan man indlægger layout i Central Stationen.

Thank you very much. Obviously you went to a lot of trouble. I found it extremely useful and helpful.

If you have a hard time remembering which cable goes where, just remember this “B is not brown”, or “Bread” (B red).

You are great at breaking things down. Just got my CS3 up and running because of you. Thank you!

My compliments really explained very well as always on all your videos, thank you very much for what you do. Lorenzo from Italy city of Ancona.

I'm doing an internship at an modeltrainshop and you really helped me so I can help the customers! Thank you very much!

Hello from Costa Rica, will like to see a video on how to connect the CS3 to a PC.
Also your videos are very helpful.
Best Regards

Thank you for your very useful and informative introduction to this (I have just bought one!)

How does the CS3 know the layout and identify all the turnouts and signals? Does CS3 read the tracks in any way?

If i buy an modeltrain from an other brand will it then be compatible with an märklin train controler?

I find your videos very helpful as I add a CS3 and digital decoders to the turnouts on my layout. Thank you for taking the time and the effort to create these videos. In a future video, please introduce yourself, your name, your home country, and your model train interests so that your viewers can get to know you better. Again, thank you for taking the time to create these helpful videos.

Good video, I already ordered a CS3, but at the moment there are probably delivery problems. So I have to wait but fortunately there are videos like yours! Thank you very much!

Ved du hvad forskellen på cs2 og cs3 er?

gracias por vuestra pronta respuesta y ayuda
mi maqueta von 60 ml de vías C, tiene las siguientes señales analógicas que funcionan muy bien con botoneras 72720 y vías de contacto 24994:
- 2 señales 7039
- 1 señal 7040
- 4 señales 7042
- 2 señales de aviso 7038
Funcionan hasta 6 trenes en los circuitos.....

hola, soy JAIME GUTIERREZ DE CHILE, Recientemente adquirí para mi maqueta que se inició hace 35 años, una CS3+. AGRADECERIA PUEDAS INDICARME SI LAS ANTGUAS SEÑALES MARKLIN ELECTROMAGNETICAS, PUEDO INCORPORARLAS POR MEDIO DE UN ADAPTADOR A LA CS3+??????????

JAIME GUTIERREZ DE CHILE:
MUY INTERESANTE Y DIDACTICO LOS EPISODIOS. RECIEN COMPRE UNA CS3+ Y NECESITO SABER SI EXISTE ALGUNA FORMA DE INCORPORAR MIS SEÑALES ANALOGICAS (ELECTROMAGNETICAS) A LA CS3???

BTW, can you run a loco on DCC, a loco on mfx and a loco on MM at the same time using CS3?

You make me want to buy a CS 3 before a Digitalset 🤣

very good - thanks! I bought a CS3, and it is a whole new world! Are you planning to do a video on using CS3 to set up the track?

I always thought Marklin was too expensive and complex for me, but now I see how beautiful it is and easy to set up and control. I also watch 3rdrail.

Glad i found your channel, if you have time can you also post how to do automatic shuttle, automatic routes stuff like that, and additional equipment needed and how to do the wiring. Thank you.

Er du dansker?

mój cs3 plus nie łączy się z modelami ani dcc ani mfx . wszystko dobrze podłączone i ustawione . czy miał ktoś podobny problem z cs3? i co może być uszkodzone. Czy prosta naprawa i czy warto wysyłać do serwisu. nie łączy ani na torze programowania ani na torze głównym.

Outstanding! 👍
