1. 250+ Members Joined

We’ve officially passed the 250-member mark! This is just the beginning, but it’s already so inspiring to see so many model train fans come together. Thank you to everyone who has signed up and become part of this growing community.

2. Launch of the AI Model Train Helpdesk

One of our biggest early achievements is launching our very first AI tool: the AI Model Train Helpdesk. With this tool, you can ask questions about anything from wiring issues to locomotives that won’t run properly. It’s like having a 24/7 assistant that’s always ready to help you with your hobby.

3. Giveaway for the First 500 Members

As a thank you for the amazing start, we’re hosting a giveaway. Among the first 500 users, 25 prizes will be raffled off. This is our way of giving something back to the community and celebrating the fact that so many of you are already on board.

4. Creating More Content & Community Fun

Next, we want to bring more life and fun to Model Train Media. That means adding blog posts, hosting photo contests, and highlighting some of your accounts on our social media. We’re also considering starting a YouTube channel to share updates, tutorials, and fun behind-the-scenes content from the platform.

5. Community Groups for Ideas & Bug Reports

We also have dedicated social groups on the platform where you can share feedback and suggestions.

• In our Ideas & Suggestions Group, you can post any ideas you have for new features or improvements. I personally read everything posted there and will always consider whether these ideas can be added to the platform.
• In our Bug Reports Group, you can share any issues or annoying glitches you encounter. Reporting them there really helps me keep track and work on fixing them.

Since I’m building and maintaining everything on my own, I can’t always fix every bug within a week. Sometimes it might take a little longer, but please know that I’m working on the platform every single day to make it better step by step.

6. Growing Towards 5,000 Members & Launching Our Own App

A major milestone ahead is reaching 5,000 members. Once we hit that point, we plan to launch a dedicated app for Model Train Media. This will make it even easier and more enjoyable to use the platform on mobile. We believe this will not only improve the experience but also help the community grow even faster.

7. Ongoing Giveaways to Give Back

Besides the big 500-member giveaway, we also plan to host smaller giveaways from time to time. These will be a fun way to keep giving back to all of you for your enthusiasm and contributions.

8. Future Advertising (Done the Right Way)

At some point in the future, you may see ads on the platform. But don’t worry—we’ll make sure they’re done in a way that never hurts the user experience. User-friendliness will always be our top priority, and advertising will only be introduced in a balanced and thoughtful way.

A Final Word of Thanks

For now, I’m doing everything myself. My name is Oscar, I’m 20 years old, and I started Model Train Media to create a place where hobbyists decide what they see—not an algorithm.

I want to thank each and every one of you for joining. If you’d like to know a little more about me, feel free to check out our About Us page.

And one last thing: if you know other model train fans—whether from your club, your friends, or anywhere else—please invite them to join Model Train Media. The more we grow together, the stronger and more fun this community will become!
