> Dear Fellow Model Railroad Enthusiast:
>
> For the past several months we have been developing the first
Internet-based model railroad Inventory and Operations system: RailRoster
(www.railroster.com).  RailRoster has two main aspects: Inventory and the
Operations Module. Each is explained briefly below.
>
> RailRoster's Web-Based Inventory gives you instant access to your items.
Of course, with RailRoster you can catalog all of your rolling stock, but
RailRoster gives you the ability to keep an inventory of anything else you'd
like- your tools, paint, structures, anything you want.
>
> RailRoster will be very useful for clubs. Anyone in a club knows how hard
it is to keep track of who owns each item, and where it's currently located.
RailRoster makes it easy with convenient Inventory Reports showing who owns
an item and where it's located.
>
> But Clubs aren't the only ones who'll benefit from RailRoster Inventory.
With RailRoster's Inventory Reports, you can track the value of your
equipment, when it was last repaired, whether it meets specifications, when
it was last inspected, and its location.
>
> But, it's RailRoster's Operations Module that sets us apart. The
Operations Module allows you to create your routes, industries, and goods
that your railroad hauls. Then create train lists and operate your trains on
your layout. When you update your train's location in RailRoster, all of the
cars attached to it are automatically positioned as well.
>
> But we didn't stop there!  What makes RailRoster truly unique is our
RailRoster Partners Program. With the RailRoster Partners Program, you
connect with other RailRoster members and "virtually" transfer your loads to
each other over the Internet, creating operating sessions that literally
stretch around the world!
>
> RailRoster also gives some unique benefits to clubs. Think of RailRoster
as your club's internet meeting place. Besides the benefits of RailRoster
Inventory and Operations, we give clubs the ability to post messages to
their members. That way, anytime a club member logs into RailRoster, they
can see any messages or reminders that have been posted for the club. This
is a great way for clubs to easily communicate with their members between
club meetings.  Also, RailRoster's "Club Depot" gives clubs space to
advertise its meeting times, open house times, club information, directions,
and club news to the public.
>
> Some enhancements that are coming soon include the ability to upload
pictures of your Inventory Items and upload pictures of your Club's layout.
>
> RailRoster is very affordable with individual plans starting at $4.95 per
month, and club plans starting at $9.95 per month. Try it FREE for 60 days!
>

please feel free to contact us at info@railroster.com.
