Shawn,

You might look at Visual Train Caboodle at:

http://www.alpinesoft.com/asvtc.html

It may well fit your needs and then some. I use this company's products
and found them to be user friendly and stable, as well as inexpensive for
the benefit provided. If "VTC" is more that you need, may I suggest
Trainventory at:

If you decide to check these programs out, tell Dean the Old Sourdough said
"Hello."

Have fun.
