Did you ever want to develop a maintenance program for your rolling stock and locomotives so that mishaps don't occur every operating night? Do you need to track DCC information for any of your locomotives? Have you any idea what your railroad is worth? Do you want to store many digital images of your favourite locomotive? Ever want to develop your own modeling standards? Would you like to store images and information for future modeling projects? Railbase Professional can help you do all this and more. Your inventory program can serve as the basis for operation on your layout, because Ship It! can utilize the Railbase Professional database. With Railbase Professional and Ship It! you can operate your layout and track your fleet of cars from a single database. Never will you have to maintain duplicate data.

- Allows an unlimited number of images per
database item.
- Create an Inventory of your Collection
for Insurance Purposes.
- Calculate Weight for Rolling Stock and
Passenger Cars
- Store Prototype Pictures and
Information- you may have many digital images (along with information) of
cars or structures that you want to build or buy. Store this information
in Railbase! Keep in mind
that you can store unlimited pictures of these items. Keep a database of
items that you wish to model. Organize your notes and pictures!
- Preventative Maintenance - enter in your
inspection items and let your computer keep track of your cars adherence.
The database will keep track of when inspection is due, which cars (and
which items on that car) pass or fail, and notify you of "redflagged"
cars (triggered when failures pass a threshold which you set). Print blank
forms to fill out "on the bench".
- Modeling Standards - Develop your own
modeling standards and track which of your cars adhere to them. Keep track
of which cars need the grabs or stirrups replaced, or which ones need new
wheel sets or couplers.
- Custom Queries - Create and save your own custom
queries. Do you want to know which cars in your fleet are colored boxcar
red, are 40 feet long and were placed in service during the 1950's? Do you
want to know which of your type XM boxcars meet all of your modeling
standards?
- Store Prototype Information - Fields for
truck type, car length, car manufacturer, placed in service date, rebuild
date, and more. Store paragraphs of information if you wish.
- Set Modeling Goals and Store Modeling
Information - Track which cars you plan to match exact prototypes and
which cars need only be believable representations. Store paragraphs of
modeling information for future reference, and then have easy access to
this information with custom querying.
- Ideal for clubs and large layouts - you
can track ownership of each car (and even their owner's addresses). The
modeling standards and preventative maintenance features help keep your
fleet up-to-date and problem-free.
- Browse, Sort, and Report! - Multiple sorts on the major
browse screen. Locate any car with ease. Many reports (choose your sort
and perform reports on custom queries).
- Track Car Value, Locomotive DCC Settings
and more!
- Import / Export - via comma-delimited files to
spreadsheet programs and databases.
