LocoFi™ Forum

LocoFi is claimed to be an "open standard": So where can I find this standard - i.e. communcation protocol, so that one can write custom app to control multiple locomotives, or implement custom decoders that can communicate in the LocoFi protocol?

I am new to model trains and I think this is the way to go, so would like to go this way instead of DCC, Since I don't have any control system yet for my trains, I thought I would just invest in this technology instead of others since I am starting with nothing. .Most of the locomotives that I have collected so far are steam locos. I was wondering if there was a release date for the module with Steam locomotive sound decoders? I am especially interested in British Steam engines such as the Flying Scotsman or the Mallard but any steam sounds will work. I was also interested to know if the diesel module be used for a steam loco by simply changing the sounds? Thank you for any help. Mike B.
