What it is
LocoLink is model train, model railroad and model railway control software for operating a physical digital layout. It is not track-planning CAD or a collection-inventory app.

LocoLink press kit
Product facts, a high-resolution logo and real LocoLink screenshots for factual editorial coverage, reviews, tutorials and software directories. The package clearly separates publisher-created material from independent test evidence.

Describe LocoLink accurately
Versions can change. Recheck the linked download and App Store pages on publication day and name the exact build and command station used in a review.
Platforms
Windows 10/11 64-bit, macOS 14.6+, iOS 17+ and iPadOS 17+. Android and Linux editions are not currently released.
Current public builds
Windows 1.7.10 and Apple 1.4.24 on the checked date. Use the official download page and App Store listing as the live sources.
Control workflow
Locomotive throttles, functions, turnouts, signals, an interactive track plan, DCC decoder programming, feedback, blocks, routes, shuttles, timetables and staged automation.
Command stations
Supported routes include Z21, ECoS, DCC-EX, NCE and Märklin CS3. The compatibility adviser documents the exact direct, interface or gateway route.
Product identity
LocoLink is always the app name. Third-party system names describe compatibility. LocoLink is independently developed and is not an official app of a command-station manufacturer.
Logo and real product screens
Each file is available separately and in the complete ZIP. Captions state exactly what the image shows, so publisher material is never mistaken for an independent test.
