Okay finals are over, and I am barely alive. I needed to get better quick to deal with the graduation and commissioning ceremonies of today. So to heal myself, I purchased several new cars, one from Exactrail! Platinum Series! Ooooo it is pretty. Buuuuut more on that later when I do some reviews. For now we shall suffice it to say I have recovered.
In the meantime, I found a neat product. It is called Yard Office. I found it on Model Railroader Forums, but I cannot remember who had the link but here it is:

Within the program you can select many options on how to organize and view cars, locomotives, and even buildings and scenery products. It is in an Excel Spreadsheet format, with cells representing different values such as roadname, type of car, scale, even maker! I have been having fun with it entering in my HO stuff. By next weekend I should be able to have all of my N scale in it as well. Here is a screenshot of how it looks:
The best part of all: it is free! Yes, you heard me, free! However, this is for a mostly trial thing where not all options are available. I haven't had much of a chance to discover what isn't available. However, I may soon pony up the 30 bucks to get the whole thing as it is so dang fun! So give it a shot, and as always, good luck to all of you.
