I hope thats not considered off-topic, but here`s a heads up for creators using Blender:
The Cycles renderer now supports baking to texture. That means AO, shadows and caustics can be baked there, since Cycles looks much better than the default blender render (in my opinion)

In Blender, I use the normal blender render function since the Blender exporter doesn't export textures applied in Cycles. I only use Cycles for photo renders.

Really nice work there Tiger. If you do release it, itll have a nice place in a nearby railyard. 
I wasnt aware of that, thanks!

what's a normal map?
I am sure if you saved the image and applied it normally then you could use Cycles with no problem.

I still have the under carriage to work on. The flanges were scaled to the diagram but I hate how they look so ya, those will be scaled down. These are the diagrams Im using.

I couldn't use it. I applied the TGA with the standard appropriate Nodes and UV coordinate mapping. After this still no textures displayed in game. The textures only showed up when I reapplied it using the blender render.
And I say it looks mighty fine Mick! Sorry the job has kept you away! At least you got time lol, could be me with none!Haven't had much time for Trainz as a new job has me all over the country side and i'm surprised i actually remembered any of this Content Creation stuff but here is a small item i made last night
This belongs or used to belong up on Soldier Summit Utah.
Cheers Mick.
