+=====Description=====
+The idea behind the LocoDB is to be able to access all locomotives on all computers with access to the same NAS/Cloud storage.\\
+Even with an offline Rocview it will be able to access the locomotives and check their properties.\\
+====R/W Access====
+Without read and write access of the LocoDB this concept will not work.\\
  \\
 =====Structure=====
+The LocoDB path points to a directory which can be read and write by all users running Rocrail.\\
+Every loco has its own directory named by its ID. Blanks are replaced with underscores; __Blanks in IDs are discouraged and not supported.__\\
+====Example====
+This is an example of a LocoDB on a NAS:\\
