Transparent Mast-Only Crossing, Anyone?

I recently got GIMP in order to make better MSTS / Openrails reskins, but found out it has the ability to create GIFs. As an experiment I used this function to take one of my older crossing sprites, apply a transparency, and animate it.

The ‘prototype’ for the sprite itself was the Irvine Industrial Complex’s Armstrong Avenue crossing, which is equipped with RACO mechanical bells and 8×20 flashers, but with some artistic license I chose to add a Southern Pacific style “Split Crossbuck”.

Much like TrainGifs, feel free to use them in signatures, website design, and whatnot…just be sure to credit my blog. Also, I have more sprites on the way, so stay tuned!
