Just messing about this evening and wanted to produce a steam train with limited colours for a 16 col gif. Here's the result.

Cool, I dig old trains.
I counted 6 colours.

Love visting the steam railways.

All you need to do now Eric is to animate the wheels and add some smoke.

Nice drawing! I love the detail. The old steam engines have so much character..

Reminds me of one of my favourite computer games: Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon. It used to have drawings like this as a primitive form of copy protection â€” the game would present you with a side view of locomotive and you had to identify it from the manual before you could play.

Any other Sid Meier fans out there?

I wish I could mess about like that, Egg. Very impressive.

Just chugging away...

and you did this design justice!!

SamTrans, where I live, uses 3 colors for it's trains. Red, Silver gray and Black for the wheels and lettering, that's IT!!

So 6 colors would almost be pushing it but works very well for this design!!

Where's the Kaboose??
