Category Class

Each Trainz asset config.txt file includes a single category-class tag which helps describe the 'intent' of the Asset in the game, as opposed to the internal structure of the Asset. The classes represent a standardized system for referring to the various types of Locos, Rolling stock, Scenery, Spline and Industry assets.
