The Train is a vehicle found in the Game Station of the Playtime Co. factory. It debuted in Chapter 2: Fly in a Web of Poppy Playtime. It is used by The Player and Poppy Playtime to escape from the factory at the end of Chapter 2, but later derailed and crashed near Playcare.
Appearance[]
The Train has 8 rows of 32 round gold-colored wheels, which support the multi-colored locomotive, a tender, passenger cars, and caboose; these features gave the Train a noticeable appearance to children in the Game Station. It has two eyes sticking out of either side of the locomotive front, held up by curly metal coils and fitted into metal eye sockets, which give them a sad and droopy appearance. The Train doors are unlocked by using the Green GrabPack Hand.
Chapter 2: Fly in a Web[]
The Train serves as The Player's main escape route from the abandoned factory, but in order to start the train, they need all 3 pieces of the Train Code, which are found and obtained throughout the natural course of the game. Towards the chapter's conclusion, The Player enters the Train Code correctly and boards the Train. As it starts to move, Poppy monologues about how she "can't let [them] leave", seemingly "betraying" The Player by changing the Train's direction, but is abruptly cut off before the Train starts to accelerate alarmingly, gaining speed that it can no longer handle. This causes the Train to later crash and derail, and fall on its side, right near Playcare.
Chapter 3: Deep Sleep[]
The train can be seen again after The Player escapes the Trash Compactor, with it now being caught on fire after the crash.
Project: Playtime[]
After depositing all toy parts, the Specialists will be able to escape through the train.
Basis[]
The Train most likely has freelance basis, or maybe being based on Canadian or American steam locomotive trains, like southern 1102. The train itself also maybe based on steam locomotive trains operating in Europe, with such examples in France and Britain.
Trivia[]
- In Chapter 2: Fly in a Web, the Train locomotive is a 6-2-0 model.[1]
- However, in Project: Playtime and Chapter 3: "Deep Sleep", the Train locomotive is a 4-6-0 steam model.[2]
- Despite the Train being a 6-2-0 model, the churning rods are on the pilot bogie rather than the driving-axle.
- In Project: Playtime, the engine has a lack of radius rods, combination lever, or union links, presumably because the valves were powered by the inside cylinders.
- In the Chapter 2 Official Trailer, the Train had no green hand door, and there was no platform to get up to the train.
- This is probably due to most of the trailer being in BETA.
- The chugging sound made by the Train is reused from the 2004 Christmas movie The Polar Express.
- When the Train starts speeding, it itself is not moving, but the entire tunnel is constantly generating more parts to accommodate the speed.
- This causes a large model to move around through the map, invading on space and may cause lags and crashes.
- It is presumed to have crashed at or near Playcare.
- The scene where the train crashes is possibly inspired on the Malbone Street Wreck.
