Phones, tablets, and desktop.
Update once, everything follows.
Maybe you run a shelf switcher, maybe your basement hosts a monthly op session. Either way, Rail Ops connects your roster, locations, cards, and signage into one system, without asking you to rebuild everything from scratch. Get it connected now and sessions go smoother down the line.
From roster import to layout signage, here's what each screen does.
Road, number, model, DCC address, era. Every locomotive is searchable and filterable. Import a CSV from your existing spreadsheet and you're up and running in a few minutes.
Prototype specs, model details, decoder address, and a photo, all on one page. Print it as a card or pull it up on your phone while you're switching.
Filter cars by type, road, era, or owner. Find that one 40-foot boxcar without scrolling past six hundred others, then generate car cards for whatever you've selected.
Every town, yard, and industry, with the tracks underneath. Set car-type restrictions per track so Rail Ops knows a coal hopper doesn't belong at the lumber spur.
Hit generate and you get a PDF with station signs, industry placards, and locomotive and car cards, already laid out for the printer.
No new workflow to learn. Bring in what you already have, connect it once, and every card, sign, and roster update flows from the same system.
Drop in a CSV from your existing spreadsheet, or add locomotives and cars one at a time. Every road number lives here now.
IMPORTAdd towns, yards, staging leads, and industries. Set which car types each track accepts. Do it once and it stays put.
ORGANIZELocomotive cards, car cards, and layout signs all pull from the same data. Update the roster once and everything downstream follows.
