Template:LocoInfobox

Universal infobox for individual product pages. Color is automatically determined by the loco_category parameter via #switch. Never set color manually.

Called on every product page alongside

directly

below it. No blank line between the two template calls — MediaWiki renders them as a visual stack: universal infobox on top, tech infobox directly below, both right-aligned.

The road name logo appears at the very top of the infobox. The template automatically constructs the filename from the road_name parameter. If no logo file exists, the road name is displayed as a text label.

Requires: ParserFunctions extension + $wgPFEnableStringFunctions = true (for #replace to construct logo filenames).

Usage

| year               = 
| catalog_season     = 
| product_line       = 
| scale              =
