"Lionel Trains: On Track" for Nintendo DS

DSI Games will be releasing Lionel Trains: On-Track in Q4 of 2006 for the Nintendo DS game system.  The game is supposedly like Railroad Tycoon and will feature 20 different Lionel trains. The game lists for $19.95 and has a release date of 10/17/06.  This is an interesting branding play by Lionel to attract the attention of the video gaming crowd (or is it a play by DSI for kids interested in Lionel Trains?).

Train Collection Inventory Software

After reading an article about a train collector's house that caught fire and destroyed, among other things, an extensive train collection, one of my thoughts was "I hope the collection was insured".  Insuring a collection requires placing a value on all the items in the collection.  Accurately estimating the value of your collection is easier if you have detailed, up to date records and values of each item in the collection.  Maintaining such lists can be cumbersome and time consuming unless you use a software program specifically designed for the task.  In today's post, I list several train inventory programs and a quick overview of each designed to help you track and value every item in your collection.
