Comeback idea

A web app for model railroad hobbyists that plans layout train schedules, routes and railcar switching for home and club layouts.

The write-up

TrainMax packs a whole railroad timetable into one friendly name, and it's ready for a second act. Model railroading has a loyal, growing community of hobbyists who love planning realistic operations, and a simple scheduling tool fits right into that passion. The name is up for a fresh start, and here's how you'd relaunch it: a subscription web app with templates for common layouts and club-friendly sharing features, run from gettrainmax.com.
