All the data in LocoTrack can be modified, e.g. if a number changes or new stock is added. Tables of updated TOPS data are issued approx twice yearly and are available by email for £5.

If you prefer, the data can be viewed as a spreadsheet in the Datasheet View by clicking an icon on the menu bar. This view is often useful when changing and adding data.

A range of standard reports are available. You can also arrange data and print out using the Datasheet view, where columns can be added and deleted to suit the report required.

Here’s an example of the Overview Form

One of the many useful fields is “Picture”. Here you can add a link to any of your photo’s on your PC or online. When you click the link the photo will open in a new window. Each entry can have it’s own photo. The link is easily added by clicking the icon on the Menu bar

All data can be Filtered, for example; • you can view just one class of loco • you can view all loco’s seen on a particular day • you can view all loco’s seen at a particular location • you can view all class 66’s seen on a particular day at a particular location • you can view any combination of any of the fields in a Form or Table
