Well, you have to have the loco file on your PC, then use GIMP to browse to the main map, or whatever file(s) in the loco folder represent the textures used to display on the locomotive. You make your changes to those files, save, and the loco is changed.

I assume you mean Loco (lco) and by this do you mean I have to send it to IE for editing from the DLS and then open it with Gimp.
Please excuse my being pedantic but this is all new to me, just wanting to learn more about Tz and hope to be more involved than just making a few routes

Okay, you are working with CMP or CM2, that's great.
1) Browse with CM until you have the loco (or lco, or loc, or loo) in your list on the right side.
2) RMB click and choose "clone". This makes a copy of the loco and places your kuid in it.
3) Find the clone in the list and RMB click and choose "Edit in Explorer", a new window will open. You may have to go up one level to get to the folder containing everything, copy that folder and paste to your desktop.
4) Delete the clone from CM (if you are confident), or leave it be as a backup.
5) Open your graphics program and choose open file, then browse to the folder on your desktop, and find the graphics files there (BMP, TGA, etc...)
6)Make your changes, save.
7)If you are bringing it back to CM, you must give it a kuid # at least one digit higher than the original clone. If your clone has kuid# XXXX:1234, then you need to make this new one XXXX:1235.
8)Use CM (file) and choose import content from the menu. Import your new folder and them (edit) commit.
9)Go look at it in game or in Railyard.
10) Rinse...repeat as needed until you are happy.
