To anybody out there with a smartphone, you should really look into downloading the app Model Inventory by Woodland Scenics. It allows you too take inventory of all your Diesels, Steam and Rolling Stock by name, quantity, brand, size, road name etc. It makes it easy to organize everything to see what you have and what you want. You can organize everything by pictures also which makes things easier to find. Just a fun little app you should look into. It's also free!

No problem.
Didn't realize you could make custom categories, awesome.
App looks good, but is there a way to set default values? Example it defaults to G scale, any was to default to O?

Not sure, I think it's just default because it's the first thing on the list, don't think it's really an option thing.
From reading the reviews of the app, it sounds like a very basic app geared to someone just starting to build a collection of model railroad items.
One review said you could import your current inventory and another review said you cannot. Does anybody know?
Also, there were comments about only being able to use the app on-line...you have to login to enter items.
I maintain an Excel spreadsheet with 4 sheets: O gauge, HO, G and N. I have about 1300 items in my collection. I think I'll stick with maintaining my Excel spreadsheet on my PC and exporting it as a PDF file to view on an Android phone or iPad.
It looks like an interesting app. I'll follow this topic and see what others think of it before deciding if I want it or not. Thanks for posting.

It doesn't take up too much room, I would download it and see if you like it. If you don't just delete it. I think there are a few others too you should check out. Let me know what you think 
Catalog page for my O scale collection
I maintain a full color illustrated catalog page for every O scale item in my collection. See PDF samples.
I can also make the catalog page (or pages) interactive to allow moving from page to page by clicking on a tab or photo to move to another catalog page. This entire catalog can be placed on a CD or DVD and then anyone can open the CD on a computer just like an ordinary web page.
I can also add a supplement that lists the price paid and date as well as comments about the condition of the item and box. This supplement page can be opened by clicking on another icon on the catalog page. I can also have an overall index of models.
