Description Liz requested that I do an animation sheet on the Polar Express engine a while back, but right when I was starting work on it, she turned out her own take, which while not terrible, needed a lot of improvement.

Changes are: Movement frames cut from 12 to 8, valve gear and trailing wheels moving. Enjoy.

And a little piece of advice if you ever want make your own animation sprites, start with engines with simple drive gear, the type that engines like Thomas has.

Polar Express built in 1984 by unknown.

The book was published in 84, not the engine. The engine was built in 1931 or '41, depending if you go with the movie or the real life basis.

It looks nice, but I thought you don't do animation requests.

It wasn't me who made it but I asked Michael (Trainman3985) to help.

You really expect me to believe that when he's deactivated?
