My version of the glow_red.png

At often times, I use the current glow_red.png from one generally added in most if not all rolling stocks, or very rarely a couple of them from the openBVE's own signals subfolder in $[AssemblyFolder]/Data/Compatibility/Signals/Graphics.

I started off with a simple large blob of anything but the too obvious red colour. Then I picked the Gaussian Blur effect, but I also wanted to draw the circumference appropriately by "reducing noise". This is to prevent too much of the effect, otherwise, it's rather pointless had it would have been barely visible in the game. Below is my result: (Released into Public Domain)

A similar for the front has been created, also released into public domain.

They look very good!
