# Model Train Tracker

> Model Train Tracker is a SaaS web app that helps model railroad collectors
> catalog, value, and protect their collections. Add any locomotive, car, or set
> by taking a photo of the box — the app identifies it, fills in the details,
> and tracks its market value automatically. Tagline: "Love it. Collect it. Track it."

## What it is
- A purpose-built collection manager for model train collectors (N, HO, O, S, G, and more scales).
- Replaces spreadsheets with photo-based cataloging, live valuations, and insurance-ready exports.
- The app runs at https://app.modeltraintracker.com. This site is the marketing website.

## Who it's for

  and want something purpose-built. They value their collection as both a passion and an asset.
