I use numbers, apples version of excel. Works perfect on my i-pad, and I can e mail any document to work and print it as required.  I have used a could tabs one for loco's including dcc location.  Another for rolling stock, and the most important one, the wish list.
Numbers is not as in depth as excel but suits my needs, even use it for planning, badge work, personal and financial details for my Cub pack

I don't catalogue my rolling stock but I have kept the invoices for everything I've bought since 1996 in case of burglary.

I do however have a list of my road vehicles (Scale Link/R Parker/Oxford Diecast etc.) to help me match the cars with the rolling stock when I change era (1920s/1930s/1940s).

Best regards,


Joe

Although I did schedule out all my stock into an Excel spreadsheet for insurance purposes when I moved back to the UK from China, I have been using a programme called Yard Office for several years now. Unfortunately the guy who developed it has now passed away so there are no more updates or support. The thing I really liked was the ability to generate different types of report for different criteria but it looks as if the Model Train Catalogue is very similar so I might give it a go.

instead of paying, just use openoffice or libreoffice, both free...

Recently my laptop crashed and with it Railmaster and Model Train Catalogue which lists all my stock, my loco details inc DCC Codes and storage locations. As I have MTC installed on both laptops it was a simple task to access all the details and upload to the new laptop along with Railmaster and all is up and running again.

That intrigues me, George. Do you have items of stock stored at other peoples' houses?

Not exactly NN but if you lent something your mate it would be a good idea to know who and how long ago.    No not an offer to plunder my locos for your own use before I get asked.

Actually I use JB Storage boxes and trying to find a specific item in 25 of them can get tiresome so I number the boxes and list on the MTC catalogue 

You maybe lucky enough to remember but I cannot.
