Turn a shelf of models into a roster in one evening.

Photograph what's on the shelf. Railyard drafts each car card — maker, scale, road name and number, era. Confirm or correct with a tap, and nothing is rejected for being incomplete.

From a shelf to a roster

Shoot one item, or a whole shelf in a single frame. Railyard drafts a car card for each one — maker, type, scale, road name and number, era. A draft is never rejected for being incomplete: confirm what's right, correct what's wrong, finish the rest later. Everything confirmed slides into your roster, with a running count and total estimated value.

Do I already own this?

At the show, search a road number and get a plain answer in seconds — you own two, in storage, or it's not in your roster yet. Add the purchase before you leave the table.

The waybill

Print a waybill — every item, its value, its purchase date — for an insurer, a club or an estate. Export to CSV or a printable PDF, on the free tier and the paid one, always.

What never happens

Your data

Never deleted, on any plan.

A half-finished draft

Never refused — it saves and waits for the rest.

Export

Never behind a paywall, on the free tier or the paid one.

A trial

There isn’t one that takes your roster away when it ends.

Railyard Plus

Railyard is free for up to 50 items — manual entry, search, wishlist, full export. Railyard Plus is $4 a month: unlimited items, bulk capture and 300 drafts. Cancel any month. Your export stays free either way.

Built for the aisle, not the desk

Railyard is for HO, N and O scale hobbyists with a hundred to a thousand or more locomotives, cars and track pieces, and for the clubs that keep a shared roster today in a spreadsheet.
