A powerful Booster is integrated to supply the layout with power for running and switching. The Central Station 3 can be used with several units, i.e. with the optional cable (60123) additional Central Station 3 plus units (60216), each with a network connection, can be operated together on one layout. Additional driver's desks, other layouts, and keyboards extend the operation of the layout, whereby shared and separate configurations for the layout areas to be controlled can be held in the Central Station 3 (plus).
