While trying to enter some videogames into the database, I noticed that the current list of themes is missing the "Trains" theme.
Please add this theme so that the titles that I am trying to enter into the database can be more accurately described.

There is a "Public Transport" theme, which we tend to use in these circumstances.

Public Transport is a good generic (secondary) classification. But Trains really needs to be added to the list so that it is available as the primary theme. Just as Flight is available for the Flight Simulator titles.

I notice that there is not just a single generic War theme but rather themes covering specific wars.
And of course it would be more consistent with BGG to add trains since it has both Transportation and Trains as categories.

To be fair there are probably a lot more train games than, for example, bus games. I second the idea that they should probably have their own category rather than being lumped into a 'public transportation' category.
