Paint Shed

How does one go about installing content into paint shed? What I would like to do is add engines to the shed so I can paint them for a layout I am building. These would only be used by me and not uploaded to the station. What I am looking for is to add some variety to my engine roster. eg SD-40's, SW 7's, EMD's. etc.
Thanks

ok what trainz version are you using we must know that before we can progress.
an for any matter you may only use the skins that are installed you can not use any others. if you want to skin something other than a paintshed skin you will have to do a different procedure.

Trainz version is irrelevant, Paint Shed hasn't changed for some time.

It is possible to make variations of existing skins, I've done it. It is even possible for someone to make a new model for it but that has to be planned by the creator and no one has done it really in a long time.

As to the original question, you could make variations of existing items, such as other SW and maybe NW switchers from the SW7. Depending on what you want to do, you may have to suspend belief, I once had an F3 skin using the F7 but it still had a bump where the F7's Dynamic Fan was.

Realistically you would be further ahead to find the locos you want and reskin them. If you have a copy of PaintShop Pro or similar such as photoshop cloning in TRS2006 then editting the .tga files is fairly simple.
