How many Power Supplies do i need for a EX-CSB1 with a stacked EX-Motorshield8874?

In this case you need two Power supplies that both have the same output Voltage.

​

How can i expand my EX-CSB1?

The EX-CSB1 can accept a stacked shield. Only DCC-EX Shields are supported, and only one at the same time.

Currently only the EX-Motorshield8874 is available, it expands the Command Station to four full featured Track Outputs.

​

Will a DCC-EX Command Station work with my digital Märklin trains?

It depends on the specific train, some work and many don't work. What you need to look for is DCC support, those that have decoders that only support MFX won't work.
