Hi Alex, welcome to Trainz !

Use content manager to find your route, right click and choose 'Edit in explorer'. Find the config file of the route and double click it to open it in notepad then copy this into it and save

thumbnails
{
0 {
image "screenshot.jpg"
width 512
height 512
}
}

Take your chosen picture and resize it to 512x512 pixels and call it 'screenshot'. When you have your route open in explorer copy the picture to the same location as the config file. Then exit from the open window to return to Content Manager and commit your route by right clicking on it and from the menu present go down to 'Edit' and from the sub menu 'Commit'

G'Day Andy, will this also work for other files like rolling stock and locos?

Hi Barrie,

Yes it will, but for assets the screenshot size has to be 240x180 pixels, so you need to slightly change the entry in the config file to this

thumbnails
{
0 {
image "screenshot.jpg"
width 240
height 180
}
}

G'Day Andy, thanks for this useful tip I have been wondering about it but was not ready to do anything at the moment as I am to busy fixing and acquiring assets prior to September.
