Why LocoLink
See how LocoLink compares to traditional model train software on the things that matter most.
Other software charges per layout or per PC. LocoLink gives you unlimited projects across all your devices — even in the free version. No extra fees, no restrictions.
Connect multiple Z21s, ECoS, CS3, or DCC-EX stations at once. Other apps charge per extra station — LocoLink Pro includes unlimited connections, no add-on fees.
Select your country and signal type — LocoLink auto-configures all DCC addresses and aspect mappings. Dutch NS 3-address signals, German Ks, Swiss SBB — all pre-configured in one tap.
Running G-scale or large layouts? LocoLink auto-adjusts booster limits for your scale — up to 10A / 24V for G-scale. Real-time voltage, current, and temperature monitoring per booster.
Not a Java app, not a web wrapper. LocoLink is a 100% native SwiftUI app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — with iCloud sync, Siri, game controller support, and instant performance.
One subscription works across all your Apple devices via iCloud. Use it on your iPhone at the layout, your iPad for the switchboard, and your Mac for programming — no extra licenses needed.
