Initial costume ideas included not stereotypical train costumes but logos specific to each engine type with safety gear visible. Diesel engines like Greaseball would have leather outfits, helmets and black and silver colors. Electric engines like Electra would have smart, neon accented purple and green costumes. Steam engines like Rusty would have basic, worn grey and white outfits. Costumes for female engines Pearl, Dinah, Buffy and Duvay were inspired by Cyndi Lauper and Madonna with lace, bows, pastels and floral designs in lemon or mint green. Roller skates from Oli's Skate Shop were also considered with color options pending.
