Take a picture of the box
Photograph the end of the box and we fill in the maker, catalog number and road name for you to check. A whole shelf of boxes works too.
That's it
Find any piece in seconds, see what it's worth, and share it with the family. Add more whenever you like.
- Just ask Casey. Type or say it in your own words, like "I bought a Santa Fe F3 at the show for $300", and Casey, the site's AI helper, gets it ready for you to OK.
- Made for real collectors, not computer people. A simple view with big, clear buttons. Larger text if you want it.
- Already have a spreadsheet? Bring it in all at once.
- Works on your phone. Photos go up in small pieces, so a weak signal in the basement is fine.
- Family can help. Invite them to look or to add trains, at no extra cost.
This Christmas
New trains under the tree?
The holidays are when the boxes come out: new arrivals, gifts, and old favorites coming down from the attic for the layout around the tree. Snap the box as you open it and it's in your collection before the wrapping paper is picked up: what it is, what it cost, and which shelf or tote it goes back into in January.
Then make a Christmas movie of the year's new arrivals, set to music with a holiday frame, and send the link to the whole family.
Find any train in seconds
- Know where everything is. Note the shelf, drawer or tote for every piece and find it again with a search.
- Your list at train shows. Your collection and want list on your phone, even with no signal, so you never buy a second one by mistake.
- See what it's worth. AI value estimates with links to the sales behind them, and the total for your whole collection.
- Sets, and what's missing. Link the pieces of a set and see which ones you're still hunting for.
Kept safe for the next generation
A collection is a lifetime of stories. Most families only find out what it was, and what it was worth, when it's too late to ask.
- The story behind each piece, recorded in your own voice. We keep the recording and type it up.
- An insurance report in one click: a dated PDF with a photo, the details and the value of every piece.
- Receipts and appraisals kept with each item.
- A family contact, so the record is never lost, and a download of everything, any time.

Questions
Do I have to pay this year to get the 50 extra trains?
No. It goes by when your collection starts. Start the free trial on or before December 31, 2026, subscribe whenever you're ready, and the extra room stays with that collection for good.
I already signed up. Am I a founding member?
Yes. Every collection started this year counts. You'll see "Founding member" on your Subscription page.
Does it cost more?
No. Founding members pay the same price as everyone else. The 50 trains are on us.
What happens when the free trial ends?
Nothing is charged unless you subscribe: no card is needed to start. Your collection turns read-only and is kept for a while, so you can pick a plan or download everything. A trial that is never paid for is deleted after that, and we email you first.
Can it tell me what my trains are worth?
Yes, on every plan: an educated estimate with links to the recent sales and listings it found. It isn't an appraisal, so check the sources.
What if I need help?
Ask Casey on any page, read the step-by-step help, or email us. Help is written for collectors, not computer people.
