Custom Painting Locomotives

[Chessiethecat]

I am not sure if this belongs here, but, I don't know where else to put it.
I am building my own route and am thinking about painting stuff for my own road. What do I need to have to be able to paint or make my own stuff?
Since I am busy working on my layout is there any forum members who do repaints for other people?

Depends on what you would like reskinned and into what.
As for what you need, basics woulds be Paint Shed for default content. Other's content requires checking that you could with the item's creator plus a paint program. You can use a free program like MS Paint though some things cannot be done with that or GIMP. Or buy Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop (or similar).
Search for other similar topics using "GIMP" or "learn reskin" as keywords.

What about building locomotives? Where would I go for something like that. I searched for them on the download site and didn't find the engines I was looking for. Specifially I am looking for AC4400s. I am gonna look for some SD40-2s and SD40-2Ts as well.
If these engines have not been built yet, I would like to try building them
Thanks again
Sean.
Big mountains need big engines!

There's a series of tutorials on my web site http://www.44090digitalmodels.co.uk which cover most things you'll need to know about content creation.
