What Locobox does
Six features that matter in a collector's day.
Your whole inventory in one place
Record locomotives, rolling stock and accessories with manufacturer, era, railway company and your own fields. Fast even for large collections thanks to CSV import.
Trains from your own stock
Assemble complete trains from your recorded articles. The consist is visible right away, including the length over buffers. The order can be adjusted by drag and drop.
Decoders in detail
Store address, protocol and linked articles right on the decoder. Function matrix and CV configuration are included for power users.
-
Your own photos
Every article gets a picture: as a small side view, it makes the article recognisable at a glance in lists and trains.
-
At the layout and at the desk
The same interface on phone, tablet and computer. Look things up on your phone, maintain them on the computer.
-
Stored centrally and safely
Your collection lives in the cloud, in a data centre in Zurich. Every device shows the same state automatically, no manual syncing needed.

Common questions about limits and Premium
Are existing entries blocked by limits?
No. The limits only apply to creating new articles, trains, categories and decoders. Existing entries can still be edited as usual.
How do the free 14 Premium days work?
Every account gets 14 days of full Premium once: all extra features are available and the free plan caps do not apply. After that you can book Premium monthly for CHF 2.50 or as a yearly plan for CHF 25 (ten months’ worth, two months free). Premium can be booked in the app under “Usage”.
What is the difference between the monthly and yearly plan?
The feature set is the same. The monthly plan costs CHF 2.50 per month. The yearly plan costs CHF 25 per year: that is ten monthly payments (2.50 × 10), two months are free.
What happens when Premium expires?
After expiry there is a grace period of three days. After that, the Premium status is removed.
Is data deleted when Premium ends?
No. No data is deleted; existing content is kept.
Are features locked afterwards?
Without Locobox Premium, individual Premium features are no longer available. The rest of Locobox remains fully usable.
What happens to data from Premium features?
The data is kept. As soon as Locobox Premium is active again, it is available again.
What are the contributions used for?
The contributions cover, among other things, the costs for servers, database, backups, licences and further development.

A passion project at heart
Locobox is run by one person: Yannik. He collects model railways himself and, next to job and studies, builds the app he always wanted for his own collection.
