Your work stays safe and becomes read-only if the trial ends.
Simple annual memberships
Choose the workspace that fits your railroad.
One private inventory for an individual collector, or one shared inventory for a club. Every paid membership includes the complete Train Inventory Manager application, and you can explore the fully functional public demo first.
Two clear choices
Full access for one collector or a whole club.
Annual pricing keeps a hobbyist tool affordable without cutting the application into feature tiers.

$24 / year
