Hi folks,

I came across this the other day on the internet, as an animated gif ..   :)

I thought it would look nice as a home-grown animation - so here it is - I like trains ..  ;D
The zip file includes an exe, for those who are sadly missing what Creative can do  ::)

Best wishes, :)

neat - I miss the old steam engines. I grew up just a few blocks from a large Mobil refinery and a bunch of other chemical plants.  I use to here them switching tank cars all the time.  And almost every time we went to downtown we drove along side a steam engine because the tracks ran down the middle of the 2 lane street.  You could almost reach out your car window and touch the train cars.

Graham,

I really like your train. I spent 7 years (one 3-year tour and
one 4-year tour) in England at RAF Chicksands. I would
catch the train in Bedford and go to London.

Thanks,

Bill

GWS

Glad you like it ..  ;D

I was surprised how easy it was to code.

I miss the steam trains too - they were so impressive.  My kids loved them.

Best wishes, :)

Yeah. It was from 65-68 and 75-79, and
they were fun.

Coo Bill ! .. you must qualify as an honorary British citizen with so many years spent over here ..  ;D

All the best, :)

Graham,

You're probably right. Well, my oldest son from my first marriage
was born at our hospital at South Rhislip (spelling?) in '66
and he still has a dual citizenship. He's drives semitrailer
out of Georgia. I believe it would called an articulated lorry
over there. Matter a fact, both from the 1st drive them.

Oh, there's a lot of things I miss.

Hi folks,

I've updated the program to include sound for the locomotive ..  ;D

All the best, :)
