Dunno, but it's nice to see that cow again (I don't think 
even Paul Kistner actually made it, just modified it a bit).

Does anyone have any good ascii-trains?
With locomotive, wagons, smoke and everything?

Preferably in the size so that it kan be used in an signature.

I dont find any good ones on the net, and i make poor trains myself. Thanks
in advance.

Thanks, everyone. Lots of nice trains to see....I ended up with Saras
suggestion,though, because I'm trying to portrait a Norwegian train type
called "signature" (!) This is meant to be pretty modern and fast and stuff.

So, fanfare for Sara! ;-) (I allowed myself to change it a iddy widdly bit,
hope it's okay)

btw: it now seems to fit in arial. Does it look okay (as a train) in other
fonts as well?
