I just posted another YouTube video featuring LocoFi in a Dead Rail/battery operations use.
The New Video is Titled:
Making and Using a Portable Dead Rail Demonstration HO Layout - Part 3
The video is a real world demonstration of how to add a locomotive to LocoFi™, apply some useful settings in the APP and then configure the locomotive so that the scale mph are displayed on the APP’s Dashboard speedometer. The video starts by getting the locomotive and the LocoFi™ APP “talking to each other” and ends with configuring the locomotive to run at the scale speed shown on the speedometer in the APP.
My Webpage titled “A Journey Into HO Scale Model Railroading in the
21st Century” is where I’ve posted a lot more information on my foam board constructed, portable, Dead Rail demonstration layout. It also has information on the conversion of a Walther’s EMD GP15-1 for Dead Rail operation using LocoFi and lots of other useful information and concepts.

Part 4 is in the works now and covers how to add a second locomotive, run both locomotives independently and then as a consist.
Making these videos has helped me learn a lot about this useful product. It is a joy to use and very easy to set up.

Great video as always! A very nice introduction to setting up the LocoFi™ app and locomotive for first use.
