Can I test run items in Single Player for Team Fortress 2?

While playing TF2 I decided to go to the Mann co. store to look around and browse. Well I quickly found out I can use items for free for a week.
I decided to test the Heavy's Natasha Minigun . I went on a Payload Race server and tried out the gun. I know I am able to use this new toy on multiplayer servers, but can I use them on the offline training mode as well?
Best Answer
Yes you can.
The Training (offline) bot mode will use any loadouts you have setup beforehand. Even-though the mode itself is offline (as in, your PC is the server) the game itself is still online to keep your items and loadouts sync with Valve's servers.
If there's ever a point where you do get disconnected from the internet while playing, all characters will be defaulted to their normal loadouts until you're reconnected.
Note: There are training maps you can go out and download/install as well. Walkway being one of the most popular ones for testing and practicing without having to deal with objectives. They're particularly useful when new weapons are released and players want to test out numbers and scenarios.
