Pedant alert...
One could make the argument that 2585 is mis-categorized. It's a self
propelled vehicle, not a car. Cars are characterised by not having
motive power. Given the current choices (cars, locomotives, buildings,
Train Set (and why the different pluralizations??) ) I would put it with
locomotives. Also, all the sets returned by:
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=Road+N%27+Rail are not cars,
they are self propelled and therefore ALSO belong with locomontives.
But I would stump for a new choice: "Maintenance of Way" (MOW), and put
the handcar, all 4 of the Road N'Rail sets, the 4533 rotary snow plow
and the 4552 crane in it. That last one is very clearly MOW too.
Also 3225 is miscategorised, as it's a complete train, with locomotive,
and therefore should be in Train Sets rather than in with cars.
4532 could be argued as a kind of accessory track rather than a
building. But it's both. I'd say it's more trackish than buildingish,
though. If you look in a Lionel Catalog, you'll find crossings in with
the track, not the buildings.
