Getting Started
Welcome to ModelTrackr — your personal catalogue for model trains, buses, trams and other collections.
Use the tabs at the top to navigate: Home shows your dashboard, Stock is where you add and manage items, Reports gives you summaries and valuations, and Settings lets you customise lists and collection types.
Managing Items
Adding an item: Go to the Stock tab, select the correct collection type at the top (Trains, Buses etc.), then click ➕ New Item in the bottom bar. Fill in the fields and click 💾 Save.
Editing an item: Click any item in the list on the left, make your changes in the form, then click 💾 Save.
Duplicating: Select an item and click ⧉ Duplicate — useful for similar items in a set.
Deleting: Select an item and click 🗑 Delete. You will be asked to confirm.
Searching & Filtering
Use the search box at the top of the item list to find items by name, make, or other details.
Use the filter dropdowns (Make, Gauge, Type, Location) to narrow down the list. Click ✕ Clear Filters to reset.
The Show: All / Runs / Used buttons let you quickly filter by working condition.
Dropdowns & Lists
Click any dropdown field and start typing to filter the options. If a value isn't in the list yet, type it and click ➕ Add to save it permanently.
To manage the dropdown lists (add, remove or rename values), go to Settings → Manage Lists.
Collection Types
Collection types (Trains, Buses, Trams etc.) control which fields are shown for each item. Go to Settings → Collection Types to add, edit or remove types. Each type can have its own name, icon and set of fields.
Backups — Important!
Your collection is saved in your browser. To protect it, export a backup regularly using Settings → Backup & Export → Export Full Backup (.json). Copy the file to a USB drive or external hard drive.
To restore from a backup, use Import Backup (.json) on the same page. This will replace all current data with the backup.
Reports
The Reports tab shows a full summary of your collection — total items, total value, breakdown by collection type and top items by value. Scroll down for the Insurance Summary.
Use the 🖨 Print button to print a report, or 📋 CSV to export to a spreadsheet.
