Train in my view is a very narrow group.
There are a very few parts that belong in it. I would refer you to the PNLTC
originated "diagram of train parts" that many train clubs use to discuss how
easy it is to actually get started in trains.
The only parts that belong in Train are the motor, its sideframes, the small
wheels (But not the tiny peg axle plate), the 9V and 12V wheel assemblies
and the coupler/buffer and bogie plates. I would not even put the 6x2X wagon
plates in train and I would not put the rounded corner windows and train
doors in train either. I would call them by their shape.
This is in my view not at all analogous to Technic or Minifig which are
broad and useful distinguishing characterizations.

| (...) Good point. I looked over all the parts in MLCad w/ the Train designator and found that, barring the parts previously mentioned and possibly the track parts, most of them don't even belong in that category (e.g. the doors and windows) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| (...) Yes. And this part has already been used in non-train sets (the Res-Q hoovercraft comes to mind). Couldn't we put "train" in the keyword list instead of in the name? Play well, Jacob (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
