The real application
Everything you need to understand your collection.
The free trial is not a restricted feature preview. Use the normal Personal inventory workflow to catalog locomotives, rolling stock, train sets, structures, electronics, track, scenery, tools, and more.
Catalog every asset
Record maker, model, road name, scale, condition, ownership, purchase details, and notes.
Keep proof together
Organize photos, receipts, manuals, documentation, and supporting collection evidence.
Understand value
Track purchase cost, replacement value, estimates, and the evidence behind each figure.
Find what you own
Document storage locations and keep private collection records in one searchable place.
Manage the workbench
Use projects, maintenance, loans, operations, and DCC details beyond basic cataloging.
Try your workflow
Use reports and imports, then complete one successful evaluation export in an eligible format.
Simple and predictable
How the 60-day trial works.
- 1
Create a Personal account
The trial clock starts immediately when registration completes, so the evaluation window is always clear.
- 2
Catalog your own collection
Add items, photos, documentation, values, storage locations, and care history using full Personal features.
- 3
Try one evaluation export
The allowance is used only after an eligible export completes successfully. A failed attempt does not consume it.
- 4
Choose whether to continue
Join for uninterrupted editing and additional exports, or keep the preserved collection in read-only mode.
Designed for the pace of the hobby
Come back when the workbench calls.
My-Trains is built for collectors who may work on inventory a little at a time. The longer trial gives you room to enter a representative part of the collection, test reports and organization, and return on your own schedule.
The details
Free trial questions.
Is a credit card required?
No. You can start the Personal trial without entering payment-card information.
When does the free trial begin?
The 60-day countdown begins immediately after successful account registration. It does not wait for the first inventory item.
Does the trial include every Personal feature?
Yes. The active trial provides the normal Personal inventory feature set, with one evaluation export included.
What happens after I use the evaluation export?
You can continue browsing, editing, importing, and adding records during the active trial. Further exports require a Personal membership.
What happens when the trial ends?
Your collection is not automatically deleted. It remains available in read-only mode; a Personal membership restores editing, imports, uploads, and exports.
Does the free trial cover Club memberships?
No. The initial free trial is for one collector’s Personal inventory. Club registration and Club memberships follow their separate reviewed workflow.
