HI .... I think SpriteAttack was offering his considerable assistance in another thread about icons suggesting to look at them in the size they will show in itunes/app store 72x72 or 57x57 (I think he said) anyway I hope you don't mind ... I grabbed your image and quickly resized to those numbers so hopefully we can help you get a great icon for a great looking game ....
in the smaller sizes I think it is difficult to see it as a train (I know its a train so my brain helps out ... but what would someone who doesn't have a clue?). Also perhaps the moon might need a bit more glow around it in small sizes. Also notice you can't make out the wheels or bumpers and the black smoke trail blends into the design ...
@MegapixelIdeas, I made everything, except the train. I purchased it on one of the photo stocks. It is much different now, I changed colors, added lights, etc.
@TheMoonwalls ... glad to help .... also I took a screen shot of a random iTunes app page and placed my icon in the middle of all the others to try and see if it caught my eye or at least was pretty good in the mix ... since first looks at an icon can be critical (I think) to an apps success ... at least that's the way I find myself looking at Apps to consider purchasing ... I think it is worth spending a good bit of time making it the best it can be (which you appear to be doing with this thread) ... like this:
