templates but not a model railroad inventory. I just edited
the home inventory app to the fields I wanted, and it is very
easy to learn even without reading the documentation. I like
the fact that I can capture an image as I make a new record
(using my iPad). A major disadvantage is that FileMaker
doesn't have a PC version of their software to which you
can sync, but you can output and email an Excel spread-
sheet. Unfortunately, those spreadsheets do not contain any
images, so I email them (from the app) separately to my PC.
There are some other great inventory programs available
including Easy Model Railroad Inventory – here's a link:

On my previous Richlawn Railroad layout I found myself running
a very small subset of my cars because it wasn't easy to find or
switch out cars. Now
I'll be able to quickly
locate any car.
