Those of you who have those little trains in your signature, where do you get these? These are really cool.
Try a search for "train GIF".
Some are creative enough to do them themselves, too. I've tried, but just don't have the perseverence or the right graphics tools.
Larry Resident Microferroequinologist (at least at my house) Everyone goes home; Safety begins with you My Opinion. Standard Disclaimers Apply. No Expiration Date Come ride the rails with me! There's one thing about humility - the moment you think you've got it, you've lost it...
IMO Frograil is the best for gifs.
Larry, of course you have the right graphics program! It's called MS Paint! I've drawn a few myself, and if anyone needs an MRL F45 or a CGW F3, just ask - They turned out great

OK for simple graphics, but I don't think Paint will handle a GIF with animation.....

That's pretty clever, but how do you make them move like that?

Is that "mostly harmless" as in the description of Earth in "The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy"?

Find a GIF you like. Then click on "image preview". Right-click on the image, click "Properties", then copy the URL and then just put it in your signature like you normally would.

I then flipped one but (and I bet you would have never found out if I didn't tell you) I messed up on the hand rails on the long hood at the cab. There should be a long step. A little crop, cut and paste and slap it on Photobucket and there you have it.
Errrr...at the risk of stirring the whole copyright issue again, you do realize that what you've described is a violation of Atlas' copyright, correct?
