How carriages shape a run
Train length changes the space you occupy and the parts you must protect. Carriage order affects firing arcs, exposure, and collision possibilities. Upgrades can unlock more cards, while a destroyed or removed carriage can take its related options out of the deck.
Documented carriage roster

Why the table is intentionally incomplete
The official community wiki still contains unfinished fields. Fogline labels that gap instead of inventing stats, card counts, or unlock requirements.
Positioning questions before departure
- Which carriage must survive for the deck to function?
- Does a weapon need distance or a clear firing arc?
- Can a defensive carriage cover the component most likely to be focused?
- Does the train have a way to move enemies as well as damage them?
- Will adding length make tight battlefields harder to navigate?
Repairs and upgrades
The official wiki currently documents safe-area repairs at 30 Scrap per HP and central-station upgrades at 100 Scrap. Recheck after patches. A repair protects the current deck engine; an upgrade trades current resources for stronger future options.
