Rolf, I understood what you meant. I also agree that the concept is confusing, because Pixel uses different rules for different types of themes and different types of offers. Perhaps I can help remove some of the confusion for you.

When TrainStation was new, some locomotives and wagons had a theme as a prerequisite purchase. Strong player feedback soon convinced the developers to eliminate theme requirements for almost all locomotives and wagons, though a few such items still exist.

For buildings and decorations, different types of items have different rules. In the bullet points below, the word "item" refers to a building or decoration.
 * If an item is available in the Shop for one week or more, the item will appear on the correct tab for its theme. This category includes items available every day, plus items from Limited Offers.
 * If an item is available in the Shop for less than one week, the item will not appear on the tab for its theme. This category includes Special Offers and Vintage Offers.
 * All items are assigned to specific themes, regardless of the amount of time they are available in the Shop.
 * SO/VO items do not appear under their themes in the Shop.
 * All itemsSO/VO items includedappear under their themes in Storage. For example, the screenshot I added above shows the Decorations tab of my Storage, with the Land Down Under theme highlighted in blue. With Land Down Under selected, I will see all decorations that are part of Land Down Under and currently are in Storage. Because Beach Statue appears in this list, we know that Beach Statue is part of the Land Down Under theme, even though the Shop does not show this information.

I hope this makes you less confused. :-)
