This is a place where I can place down all of the train gifs I make for y'all to enjoy. If you do use them, please credit me. All of them are made in PNG format for absolute crispness and clarity and, in any proper gif animator, can be made to move and such.
Note: These are all saved under a solid-color background. If you are looking to use these gifs and desire transparency, click on the "Transparent Selection" option in Microsoft Paint or GIMP (or your preferred image manipulation or gif-making software) and right click on the background color to select it and make it transparent.
