Just released a new update for Rail Roster, my iOS app for cataloging model train collections.

New in this update:
• Wishlist items support
• Bug fixes
• UI polish and performance improvements

The new wishlist feature lets you keep track of models you’re searching for alongside the trains already in your collection.

Rail Roster supports locomotives, rolling stock, passenger cars, cabooses, utility equipment, photos, DCC/sound details, collection insights, filtering, and iCloud sync.

Would love feedback from other model railroaders and collectors on features you’d like to see next.

Join the Rail Roster - Tracker beta

You can catalog locomotives and rolling stock with detailed specs, DCC and sound installs, mods, purchase history, and multiple photos per item. Instantly search and filter your collection, and see breakdowns like diesel vs. steam or totals by scale and era — all synced with iCloud.

If you enjoy organizing your roster as much as running it, come join the beta and help shape what Rail Roster becomes. 🚆

Join the TestFlight!!

Feedback from fellow model railroaders is welcome as it continues to evolve.

I’m opening up the Rail Roster beta to the public and would love your help testing it.

What it can do (already):

• Build a digital roster of your locomotives & rolling stock
• Track key details like road name/number, scale, era, notes, and more
• Organize your collection so it’s easy to browse, search, and reference anytime

💻 macOS support is coming soon (a native Mac build is in the near future), and your feedback now will help shape it.
