"SilkTrain"

The standard image, easy to modify to taste.
Standard Image

Leaning forward, good for an aggressive look.

Leaning back, good for a speedy look.
Leaning Back

A couple throw-togethers:

This one skewed forward.
1

This one with a logo on each element, skewed back, and squashed vertically to 'square it up' some.
When skewed the elements look a bit taller than they do otherwise. It all comes down to taste.
2

A long train made vertically narrow enough might make for an interesting "pinstripe" from nose to tail.

Notes
Details
Commissioned as decoration for the side of a "tuner" car.

It got this far, and no further - decisions on specifics never came down.
Created on paper then imported to Adobe Photoshop
to facilitate adjustments, some of which are outlined above.

The Silk Train, by virtue of carrying such a valuable cargo (in its day), had priority over pretty much any other train on the rails -- such that it even had the ability to supersede royalty, if and when such an occasion should arise.

When you have to be somewhere in a hurry -- Silk Train.
