New Web App "Model Rail Inventory" Revolutionises How Enthusiasts Manage Their Model Railroad Collections

1 September 2024 - London, United Kingdom

A new web-based application, Model Rail Inventory (https://modelrail.app), has launched to offer model railroad enthusiasts a smarter, simpler way to manage, track, and enjoy their collections. Designed specifically for the needs of railroad modellers, the platform brings modern convenience to a hobby often burdened by spreadsheets, scattered notebooks, or outdated desktop software.

Whether you're a seasoned collector with hundreds of items or a newcomer starting your first layout, Model Rail Inventory makes it easy to catalogue locomotives, rolling stock, buildings, accessories, and more - with the added benefit of being able to access your entire collection from any device, at any time.

Built for Modellers, by Modellers

Model Rail Inventory was created in response to a growing demand within the model railroad community for a more efficient, user-friendly tool to manage collections. The platform allows users to:

• Add detailed information for each item, including brand, scale, type, condition, and notes
• Upload photos, receipts, documents, and manuals
• Tag and sort items with powerful filters
• Track duplicate purchases and avoid buying what they already own
• View collection statistics and export data
• Securely store and back up data in the cloud
• Access their collection from anywhere - whether at home, at a show, or browsing the shops

"Traditional methods of keeping track of collections just don't cut it anymore. Our goal is to make this part of the hobby more enjoyable, more accessible, and ultimately more useful - especially for those with extensive collections or plans to exhibit, insure, or resell."

Why Now?

The model railroad hobby continues to grow across all age groups, with more modellers sharing layouts online, attending shows, and connecting digitally. As collections become more valuable - both financially and personally - there is an increasing need to document them properly.

With Model Rail Inventory, users can avoid accidental duplicates, monitor collection growth, and ensure their efforts are preserved digitally and always within reach.

Free to Try

Model Rail Inventory is available now at https://modelrail.app. The platform offers a free 90 day trial to get started, with an affordable annual subscription thereafter.
