@Mayastatic I should have mentioned this before but I'm actually not telling any kind of story although I have to say it's very enticing. This train animation is actually for a competition. I didn't say anything because it wouldn't be appropriate for me to mention where the comp is in case anyone wanted to know.

It's just a simple competition to animate a train approaching a bridge that gets destroyed somehow. After the comp is over though, perhaps I will make a short story out of it especially since I'm finding animation to be as fun if not more fun than modeling...never thought I'd hear myself say that. In fact it's soooooo much fun working on the animation that I might start doing more and more animation.
