Re: Frt Car Model Database
Ralph W. Brown
Hi Bill,
I use an alpha-numeric (by manufacturer and manufacturer’s item/part
number) inventory list, with columns for descriptive info, status and/or notes
(planed project id, needs paint, lettering, weathering, repairs, etc.) and
location. I did mine with WordPerfect, but it could just as easily be done
with Word or any other such program with which one is familiar.
I also started using DataCrow (http://datacrow.net/) a number of years ago to
keep track of my library after having inadvertently acquired more than one
duplicate volume. The program is set up in modules designed to manage
books, images, music, movies, and other things. The user can also create
additional modules for other items as well. I haven’t tried to do that,
but I imagine one could create a custom module for freight cars and other
models.
It will be interesting to see what other folks are using for that
purpose.
Pax,
Ralph

Subject: [RealSTMFC] Frt Car Model Database Does
anyone use a true database program to keep track of freight car models? As
opposed to a spreadsheet program. Thanks, Bill
