I disagree that reskinning would be almost as simple - I think it's a lot more to that. Then again one needs new challanges all the time, so practice makes perfect.

Have you tried it?

Paintshed is a bit limited as it uses .bmp graphic files. What I suggest is find something you like the shape of then in cmp manage content right click the item and clone it.
Then right click the cloned item edit, edit in explorer, this will give you access to the items folders. Look for the folder that includes body in the file name, open that and look for the largest graphics file probably .tga possibly .bmp file you can see and open that in something like PaintShop Pro.
Edit the graphics file, and commit the item <Ctrl>m, load into Trainz. You have just made your first reskin.
There is a bit more to it than that. To upload to the DLS you need permission of the original content creator, you need to modify the name in the config.txt file and working through a couple of the reskin tutorials might help as well.
Not much more difficult than Paintshed but a lot more flexible.

The .texture files are Auran Trainz unique graphics formatted files. To convert .texture files to .tga, go to http://fly.to/mwgfx/ and select Train Simulator from the list along the left margin then select TGATool2 and download the self installing exe file.
