Other ways for moving train on your web page.
♦ JavaScript
* If you can write script-code, you don't need Train Kit.
* This sample has very simple code without backward compatibility.
♦ Marquee
* Simple way positioned by CSS.
* Simple way positioned by table tag.
* When using table, you can't set foreground picture on the scene.
* Simple way without background picture.
♦ Animated GIF
* Easy way but you need very many frames to move smoothly.
* This sample has 25 frames. If smooth moving, you need over 250 frames.
* You can use under 256 colors in Animated GIF.
♦ Animated PNG Firefox / Safari / Chrome 59- / Edge (Chromium)
* This sample has 25 frames as same as animated GIF above.
* You can use full colors, but not animated on IE or older browsers.
