Field notes
The feature list names track systems by scale and maker, including Kato Unitrack, Märklin C-Track, Hornby, Lionel, and handlaid NMRA track. Its example Inglenook puzzle specifies both the car count and the short headshunt, while the room tool is described as checking aisles under the board. The homepage says the service is free with no subscription; its two AI helpers start with $5 of credit, with additional credit optional.
