SlotForge Paddock - Your Slotcar Collection digitized! - theDutchmanJames - 31st-Oct-26

SlotForge Paddock - Your virtual slotcar garage. Your detailed workshop. One collection.

SlotForge Paddock is a desktop app for collecting, displaying, building and maintaining slotcars. Add a car and a photograph to start your virtual showroom, or go deeper into parts, setups, maintenance and racing preparation.

Both approaches use the same collection. You decide how much detail to record.

Add a car, upload a photograph, and enjoy your own digital slotcar garage.

You don't need to enter technical specifications or manage spare parts to get started.

Display your collection. Showroom presents your cars in a photo gallery, with a featured spotlight car, favourites, full-screen viewing and a slideshow.
Build a profile for each car. Start with its name and photograph, then optionally add manufacturer, scale, model, livery, racing number and other identifying details.
Keep your collection organised. Search, filter and label cars—for example, Collection / Display, Home racing, Club racing or Competition.
Record ownership details. Keep track of storage locations, condition, packaging, purchases, valuations and loans.
Keep photographs and documents together. Add extra pictures and attach relevant paperwork to each car.
Choose how you browse. Switch between gallery and table views, customise table columns and save frequently used views.
Make it feel like your garage. Choose a colour theme, customise the three-line welcome banner and select which information appears on car overview panels.

You can stop here and have a useful collection app. The workshop features are available whenever you want them.

Do you like tinkering, having everything organized and tidy, experiment with theory etc?
These are the extended features:

Parts inventory — track stock, fitted parts and assemblies. Give AI a template and have it scrape a manufacturers website for a parts list
Build from Scratch — assemble cars through an interactive diagram using the parts you have in your catalogue!
Build calculations — gearing, RPM, speed, torque, force and power curves - Live preview of estimates what your motor and gearing give you.
Setups — save, compare and apply configurations.
Workshop jobs — plan modifications, servicing and maintenance.
Performance history — record test results against setups, link SlotForge Paddock to SlotForge Timing and have your database be displayed in SlotForge Timing, pick your cars and race! Race Results get sent back to SlotForge Paddock!
Digital toolbox — organise tools and workshop supplies.
Catalogue imports — bulk-add manufacturer parts using AI-ready templates.

Looks quite impressive, Dutchman James. Reminds me of the same kind of feature in the SmartRace app, only this app has a lot more options and possibilities. Very interesting indeed.

Yes, I definitely drew inspiration from all major slotracing software :)

It was all rather fragmented and divided over different software, some even behind paywalls. Or even worse, subscription models. I don't like that :))

Thanks!
