Since I personally don't know how to make those (nor I ever will) is it possible to download these sets somewhere and then use it in my trains?

Are you looking for shortcuts?

Really, there are none.

All this is work with drawings, squares, oblongs, big round tubular pipes with things attached; solids, rectangles, slots, wheels, mesh and attachment points.

Instead of looking for shortcuts, I recommend you start with some tutorials on how to make engines. There are some good starting tutorials for locomotives around.

Really, you gain nothing in life looking for shortcuts like these. You ought to acquire the skill to make these yourself. That will make you a better person, you know. :D

A carriage or loco consists of two or more parts the big long box thing and the bogeys that go underneath.

Any big long box thing can use any bogey but it may not be appropiate or the correct height.

You do need helper points for Trainz to know where to put the bogeys but you can use some one else's bogeys if that is easier. Do the simple loco tutorial you can find a reference here and that will explain the helper points etc.

These days if you are doing standard gauge bogeys then Paul Hobbs has a GMAX macro set up to build wheels and wheel sets for you. Paul's tutorials are here, the first one on setting up GMAX is highly recommended.

I don't need loco engines or anything complex like that... i am making a subway train.

subway trains only have wheels and rectangular boxes attached on the bottom. i don't know how to make the wheels by myself so I was wondering if i can use someone's premade ones...

Well that's what I do. You just need to add the a.bog0 and a.bog1 points, have a look in the simple loco tutorial. The rest is in the coonfig.txt file.
