Model train inventory in one place
Many collectors with large collections know the problem: hundreds of items in the house, but no central overview. What do you already own? Which item is duplicated? What were you looking for again? With Yard Tower's core features, you enter each model train inventory item once - including properties, photos, and notes - and always have a reliable, complete picture of your collection.
Manage your model railway collection your way
No two collectors use the same approach. Some sort by brand and scale, others by era or year of purchase. Yard Tower offers customisable views, powerful filters, and configurable properties, so you can always find what you need in the way that suits you best. You also decide which columns and fields to display, so the software adapts to your way of working rather than the other way around.
Track the value of your model train collection
An extensive model railway collection can quickly represent a considerable sum. With the purchase and administration features, you record purchase prices, tracked values, and what is still on your wishlist. That information is useful for insurance, when selling or trading an item, or simply to know what your collection is worth. The maintenance schedule also helps you keep track of when a loco or wagon was last serviced.
Share your model railway collection with other enthusiasts
Model railway collecting is rarely a solitary pursuit. Through the showroom, you can easily share your collection with other enthusiasts and browse their collections for inspiration. The export function lets you transfer your data to PDF or spreadsheet - useful for an insurer or a printed overview. The software works on both desktop and smartphone, so your data is always at hand, whether at home, at a club evening, or at an exhibition.
