Train of Thought publicity blurb

The Train of Thought is a community-created cosmetic item for the Engineer. It replaces the Engineer's default hard hat with a vintage toy locomotive, complete with a registry code written on each side, a shining headlamp and a smoking chimney. In the cab, a team-colored Engineer doll wearing an Engineer's Cap wobbles with the player's movements.

This item has two styles, named "North Pole" and "Southern". The "North Pole" gives the locomotive a Christmas-themed look and the registry code "J316", while the "Southern" style gives it a more realistic visual and the registry code "E-10".

The Train of Thought was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
