They are prominently used by both [[Anna Kaboom]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' and [[Allen KozukiAlan]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]''.
==Design==
Each card of this series is based on either trains or railway infrastructure. The only exception is [[Number 27: Dreadnought Dreadnoid]], which is instead based on a ship. The "Train" series is linked to the "[[Ancient Gear]]" archetype through "[[Special Schedule]]".

* First effect offers comeback probability in prolonged grind game.
* Second effect can be used to either copy Level 10 Train extender's level or reduce their Level for [[Rank 4 Monster Cards|Rank 4]] plays.
** This effect can be applied on ''any'' monster, not just [[EARTH]] [[Machine]]s. As such you can use it in a combination with "[[Astral Kuriboh]]" or other non-theme extender for other Xyz options.

Can be Xyz summoned over a Rank 10 Machinemonsters.
* (Detach 1 mat) Gains 2000 ATK, but you can only attack with this monster this turn.
* Can attack monsters each battle phase, equal to number of materials +1.
Rank 10 monsters of note include:
* "[[Number C9: Chaos Dyson Sphere]]"; provides non-target, non-destruction removal by attaching any monster it battled, preventing any floating effects on removal and denying Graveyard resources in the process. It can also deal a considerable effect damage every turn.
* "[[Varudras, the Final Bringer of the End Times]]"; provides omninegate interruption and multiple non-target destruction effects. This card's optional non-target destruction effect can be either combined with "Derricrane" to destroy two cards during either player's turn, or destroy your own cards (such as a "Ruffian Railcar" summoned through "Urgent Schudle" or a "Clockwork Night" on the field) to use their GY effects.
* "[[Number 35: Ravenous Tarantula]]", which can bridge into "[[Number 84: Pain Gainer]]" and "[[Number 77: The Seven Sins]]", thus allow the summon of "[[Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder]]" with at least 5 materials.
* "[[Skypalace Gangaridai]]", an alternate choice for "Gustav Max" in case the player needed to destroy at least one card the opponent controls, or up to two when combined with "Derricrane". It is also a Machine monster that can bridge into "Juggernaut Liebe".
The series' [[Link Monster]], "[[Double Headed Anger Knuckle]]", can be used to Special Summon Level 10 monsters and provide materials for the Xyz Summons, as well as a long-term investment due to its ability to revive itself, providing a slot for an Xyz Summon. It can use "Ruffian Railcar" or "Bullet LinerTrain" as cost for its effects, setting up their effects on the [[End Phase]].
Casual supportive cards that can be combined with this [[Deck]] include:
* Cards that can boost the battle damage potential, such as "[[Limiter Removal]]", "[[Train Connection]]", or "[[Pentestag]]".
* An easy-to-Summon Level 10 monsters, such as "[[Malefic Cyber End DragonFinis Terrae, Tower of the Necroworld]]", "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]", "[[Metal Reflect SlimeCarnot the Eternal Machine]]", etc.
* An "[[Infinitrack]]" [[engine]] involving multiple copies of "[[Infinitrack Anchor Drill]]" and "[[Heavy Forward]]" to enhance swarming capabilities as well as an additional option for Rank 8 Xyz summon using Level 4 Trains. In addition, it can also help facilitate the summoning of "[[Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus]]" with full protection via the effect of "Dreadnought Dreadnoid".
* A "[[Shaddoll]]" engine with the aim of [[Fusion Summon]]ing "[[El Shaddoll Shekhinaga]]" using materials from the Deck with "[[Shaddoll Fusion]]", especially when using "Ruffian Railcar" or "Bullet Train" as [[Fusion Material]]s.* A "[[Kaiju]]" package with "[[Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju]]", "[[Interrupted Kaiju Slumber]]", and other "Kaiju" monsters, to either tribute the opponent's monster as a removal, or to destroy all monsters on the field and summon "Jizukiru" as a Level 10 material.* "[[Astral Kuriboh]]"; useful for summoning various "[[Number]]" Xyz monsters, such as "Dreadnought Dreadnoid", "Super Dora", "Chaos Dyson Sphere", etc., and grant them extra protection. * Notably, "[[Goldilocks the Battle LandscaperFlying Pegasus Railroad Stampede]]" and "[[Machina Citadel]]", as both were Level 10 EARTH Machine that can be searched with various Train-related cards and special summoned from copy the hand with declared Level of this card, thus allowing an access to the effect entire pool of generic "Anchor DrillNumber" to provide mass removal effectmonsters.
* "[[Gizmek Okami, the Dreaded Deluge Dragon]]", which can be easily summoned if opponent has several monsters summoned from the [[Extra Deck]] and provides a non-[[Once per turn]] boardwipe against these monsters.
* "[[Goldilocks the Battle Landscaper]]" and "[[Machina Citadel]]", as both were Level 10 EARTH Machine that can be searched with various Train-related cards and special summoned from the hand with the effect of "Anchor Drill" or "Psychic Processor" to provide mass removal effect.* "[[Psychic Processor]]"; very useful for "unbrick" your hand by using its effect to special summon up to two Machine monsters (regardless of [[Attribute]]s, thus works with "Jizukiru" and "Gizmek Okami") from your hand and grants a bonus effect that allows them to [[Direct attack|attack directly]]. It can also recover itself during the next turn to provide a consistent means of summoning high-level Machines.* "[[Therion "King" Regulus]]" to provide negation effect and protect other "Train" monsters from interruptions. It also synergize well with "[[Super Express Bullet Train]]", which can add "Regulus" back to the hand after using negation effect every turn.* A The card can also be searched by "[[Shaddoll]]Gigantic " engine with the aim of [[Fusion Summon]]ing Champion"[[El Shaddoll ShekhinagaSargas]]" using materials from the Deck with which can be summoned over either "[[Shaddoll FusionSpringans Merrymaker]]", especially when using "Ruffian Railcar" or "Bullet Liner" as [[Fusion MaterialSpringans Ship - Exblowrer]]s.* A "[[Kaiju]](via " package with Infinitrack"[[Jizukiruengine), though the Star Destroying Kaiju]]", "[[Interrupted Kaiju Slumber]]", and other "Kaiju" monsters, latter is prefered due to either tribute the opponent's monster as a removal, or to destroy all monsters on the field and summon "Jizukiru" as a Level 10 materialits useful non-target destruction effect.
Variations of the Deck also include "[[Skill Drain]]", which negates the negative effects of the Level 10 monsters, turning them into easily summonable beatsticks.

===Weakness===
* As with other [[Machine]] decks, the "Train" deck is susceptible to a variety of counter cards, such as "[[System Down]]" and "[[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]]".
* Since the deck is heavily geared towards going second, the Deck's gameplan can be often derailed when going first due to the limited interactions the Deck can put up against the opponent, with the typical "end board" consists only of a single "Super Dora". This is somewhat remedied with the addition of "[[Varudras, the Final Bringer of the End Times]]" that offers omninegate option for the Deck.
* Because of the lack of protection on most monsters, the deck is prone to mass removals and negation effects. Without proper backup plans to special summon new monsters to refill the board (i.e "[[Urgent Schedule]]"), this will render the player nearly defenseless from opponent's counterattacks.
* Like all of the special summon reliant decks, the deck is vulnerable to cards that prevent special summoning, such as "[[Vanity's Ruler]]" and "[[The Last Warrior from Another Planet]]".
** In addition, the deck is heavily reliant on [[Type]] synergy. As such, cards such as "[[There Can Be Only One]]" and "[[Zombie World]]" can shut down any play instantlystop most of their plays in its tracks.
* Since the "Train" deck features a large number of high-level monsters, it is also prone to dead draws or [[brick]]ed hands that can hinders the deck's consistency.
