I'm also totally new, but here's my take on it: 1) Download the content creation pack from the Auran website 2) install GMAX (http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax) 3) For texturing you will need a decent raster image program (eg, Photoshop) GMAX is a specialized subset of 3Dstudio Max. I (as yet) haven't used it, but I'm hoping it can import .3ds models so that I can use my favourite 3D app Metasequoia. No doubt I've missed something, but I hope someone will fill in the blanks.
 
You're in luck, I've just written seven tutorials, all available from my site (including building a loco, but do the GMax Basics first...)

My advice is - Before you consider building a route consider the availability of DEM data and Gradients and the orientation of your route (North/South) before you build it. Back up/Save at every opportunity and save your Route to a DVD whenever possible.
