your portal to more fun in scale model railroading
The NMRA Partnership Program is a member benefit that truly has a tangible payback. We've partnered with model railroad manufacturers of all sizes, giving them exposure on our website in return for receiving generous discounts for NMRA members all year long. Some provide members with special codes, others prefer a phone or email order, but all appreciate the additional business from our members. And of course, our members appreciate the extra savings...savings that can actually pay the cost of NMRA membership!
To join the Partnership Program as a manufacturer or vendor, please contact us at marketing [at] nmra.org

Pioneers in bringing WiFi and onboard sound together in HO scale, we manufacture LocoFi decoders. Coupled with the LocoFi controller smartphone app, you get multi-user multi-train wireless control of your DC locomotives. The DC (9V - 24V) / DCC track-compatible decoders are easily installed in your locomotive following NMRA wire color coding. The high current rating decoders are perfect for old DC locomotives like the blue box Athearn, Tyco, Life-Like, etc. There is no additional wiring, equipment, or throttles involved. Regular free upgrades (including locomotive firmware) to the app ensure that your hardware is never out of date. The decoders feature powerful dual microcontrollers with pluggable microSD cards that can be loaded with custom non-proprietary format sounds to bring prototypical realism to the operation of a locomotive. We are the gateway to the future of model railroading. Simplify. WiFi. LocoFi.
