TIM uses simple annual memberships for real personal and club inventories. The existing interactive demo remains free and separate; it is not a membership tier and does not store your real inventory.
Personal Membership #
The Personal Membership is $24 per year. It includes the complete TIM inventory application, editing, uploads, imports, protected photos and documents, reports, QR tools, storage, operations, JMRI, RailModeller Pro, and exports.
Club Membership #
The Club Membership is $99 per year and covers a shared club inventory for up to 10 people, including the Primary Club Manager. Assigned members and unexpired pending invitations count toward the limit. The club billing contact manages the membership while Club Managers continue to administer member access separately.
Personal free trial #
When the production Start Free Trial offer is active, an eligible new Personal collector receives 60 days of full Personal inventory access without a credit card plus one successful evaluation export. The clock begins when registration completes. Club requests, Club registrations, existing paid or complimentary members, administrators, and disposable demo sessions are not Personal trials.
My-Trains AI #
The My-Trains AI workspace is part of the TIM experience. Normal Product Catalog search, barcode entry, manual entry, imports, exports, and collection management never require AI. Each AI identification uses one explicitly selected provider-billing method: prepaid My-Trains hosted credits, the member's OpenAI API account, or the member's Anthropic API account. Hosted credits and direct provider API charges are separate from the annual Personal or Club membership price.
Founding price #
Selected founding collectors may receive a $19.99 first-year introductory price. The regular Personal renewal price is $24 per year and must be shown before renewal.
Lifetime Complimentary access #
Some early contributors, testers, and supported organizations may receive administrator-assigned Lifetime Complimentary access. It is not a public offer and never requires payment or renewal.
The interactive demo remains a separate disposable evaluation environment. Demo activity does not create a production trial or store a real collection.
