Creating a train / string of images within a GT Title that is data driven

Hi All, The setupI've got a set of graphics for a live railway show I'm doing. They are entirely driven from a google sheet via data sources. An example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaKb-qPO9nM&t=12499sThe data includes: - Logo and background colour
- Information Text
- Filename of the flying in train graphic.
This all works well for me, but I would like to be able to customise the actual train graphic better. The QuestionAs it stands I need to compile a new, single, PNG image for each type of train I will be seeing. For most things, this is easy enough as they are set formations. However, sometimes there is a different colour locomotive on the front or the train, which usually has 10 wagons, only has 7 wagons. If it were a web page it would just be a line of <img src="loco66745.png"><img src="wagon 1.png"><img src="wagon 1.png"><img src="wagon 1.png"><img src="wagon 2.png"><img src="wagon 3.png"><img src="wagon 1.png"> to butt each graphic one next to the other. As long as the graphics are the same height the width won't matter, as long as they form a train. But I can't find a way to do this in GT Title. The graphic in the above example is called from a single file and 'fly' in and out. Can the same be applied somehow to a string of images? Suggestions, please? Many thanks in advance, Marcus

Just an idea have a row of image placeholders forming the "train" fill these with the images pulled from a datasource or other means Animate this layer (fly in and out ) page selection train.jpg (300kb) downloaded 1 time(s).

Thanks Dogggy,
I'll look into that. Not sure how it will deal with variable width images though, nor how it would close up any gaps.
Is there a placeholder function in GT Titles? Or do you just insert a random image?
Cheers,
Marcus
