It can be done, but you basically need to know how to create something for Trainz to be able to do it.....

Also, this is worth a read...

Is there a pretty efficient way of converting .ace .s .sd and .wag files to .cdp without completely destroying the file? that confused me for the longest of time.

No.

There are lots of differences in MSTS the bogey is part of the loco in Trainz it is separate and that's just to start. If you have access to the source files then sometimes you can do a conversion but it isn't simple, I gave up after messing around for a month or two and that's with the source being available. The other thing is the old MSTS models don't hold up nicely against the newer TS2009 and later assets.

Chris has been the only one that I know of that has had much success, but he also spends much additional time and effort past the basic conversion as well.

And he also has the permission of the original creator to do so.
