You may ask but I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a reply. It helps if you have both plans and photos and as content creators tend to specialise in certain regions and time periods. There one or two creators who will take commissions by the way.

That one might be difficult. Ideally you'd need front and side photos ideally ones you've taken yourself so they can be uploaded to the DLS if used as a texture, and a plan showing the length, width and height. It's based on a tram made in Italy so there might be an Italian tram floating around that could be used as a base. Then you get into the level of detail you'd like. It basically looks like two units sharing a central bogey. Animated bogies are a pain in the neck to create so normally they get recycled. If you can point to an acceptable bogey that would be nice.

https://www.cs.rhul.ac.uk/~adrian/steam/RCHWagons/images/rch1002.PDF is an example of a plan.

There is one for Transport Fever 2, on the Steam workshop.

You can try to contact the maker on Steam, propose sharing the mesh and texture files with a Trainzer who would be willing to go through the conversion process to a format Trainz will accept.
Then that trainzer would have to be skilled in Loco creation. This is a long process. Months at least.
