Train "smilies"
Posted by SMassey on Thursday, January 19, 2006 6:49 PM
Can some one here tell me where to get all the little train graphics that I see in some of the sigs here? I have tried to make some but I am not that good at doing stuff like that so I gave up.

Thanks[8D]

[:(] no not those smilies I know where to get them. The ones I am looking for are not funny little circles doing strange things like the head into wall that you put there Bud. What I am looking for is the little train pictures that look like they were done in MS Paint. some ppl have them in their sigs. Just the little graphics like that. I see them in alot of places but was wondering if there was one site or a few that had them.

He doesn't mean the normal smiles.

I don't think there is one special place to get them. You will find them on various other train sites. I believe several people have made their own. There are some railroad "fonts" that also contain various silouettes.

Try searching for things like "train icon" "train image".

those are pre-animated .gif images (essentially mini movies), either found online, or made by the owner of the sig.
