This open-source project is to generate code for a website to allow model train enthusiasts to buy, sell, swap, or part exchange models from each other.
The intention is for The Train Exchange to be created by railway/railroad modellers for railway/railroad modellers.
We are actively looking for contributors.
The values of the Train Exchange are below
Born out of conversations with fellow model train enthusiasts, this idea is to provide an online mechanism for model train enthusiasts to buy, sell, swap, or part exchange models from each other, without incurring the increasing fees that eBay imposes. The site will not be responsible for the financial transactions, but it will instead provide a mechanism to allow model trains available for sale or exchange to be searched for and allow initial contact between prospective buyers and sellers to be made.
No project succeeds without contributors. for this project to succeed we will need contributors with the following skills:
Are you a railway modeller with any of these skills, and some spare time? If so then we may need your help.
Feel free to raise issues but please review our Definition Of Ready first.
We will need to host the website and the database and this costs money. We would be looking for model railway-related companies to provide funding for hosting, in return for targeted adverts on the site
