Throughout the history of Trainz, several famous locomotives powered by diesel, steam, or electric have appeared as mascots for the games. The mascot engine is usually depicted on the cover for the game, and other graphics, such as loading screens and launchers.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of the mascot locos of Trainz, in chronological order.

Never really thought of them as mascot loco but an interesting fact all the same, any guesses what might be next or the country of origin. Peter
