Can someone help me?

You can make your own, trace it out and make it and stuff, there are also logos and stuff, but I cant remember what format they are in.

Thanks for the advice but I made the logos on the loco and they don't want to render in trainz but in Photoshop look clean. Trainz is weird.

Although I don't usually get very far on reskins, I agree with bentrain, do the logo's in GIMP.

Okay, here is MY problem...

I try to reskin a caboose. I open the body of the caboose on paint.net, as a tga file. Once I put some paint onto it, it'll just chicken out and give me this "body_texture_failed_to_load" nonsense and it'll white itself out! What pisses me off the most is it has never even happened before! WHAT THE FRIDGE?!??!

Ok, you first have to save as. name it something different. Then you have to export it. here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUbx5vWa3WU&list=PLBCuIgdKzH40ZGza7fBEYfUktAyqhaiak&index=5
also, wannabe AGREEING WITH ME?! WHOA! Your joking right?

I usually use paint.net. It's a lot easier for me. But would you recommend Gimp to be better just as well? How am I supposed to export it?

The default saving is almost certainly compressed .tga when you save the .tga file untick the save compressed box.

yes I would recommend it. Also, in that tutorial it shows ow to export it. I also suggest watching the whole video as that will help also.

Resize your map to the maximum 2048 X 2048 or power of 2 proportionally. apply your logo to that and save it
