Cheers Epo:)

Hey Epo, where did you get those sweet looking abutments on that thing?
 
This is kinda out of place here, but just to ask quick, if I would want to make my own railroad company what should I do to reskin some locomotives or rolling stock? The stuff that the CMP has for the paintshed templates are kind of junky. I would specifically want one for a GP38-2 or a GP40-2.

Thanks,
Kay9:)
 
No problem. Search for something called paint.net, or go out and purchase photoshop(you can get elements pretty cheap at Amazon. Trust me it is worth it.) Once you have one of those programs, go to cmp and right click the asset and clone it. Then go to the clone and right click on that. Go down to edit, then edit in explorer. Change the config(change the names that you want changed(except for assetfilename.). Username is the actual name of the file when it appears in trainz.

Then open the body folder and edit the .tga/.bmp files that you need to edit in there.
 
VERY close.... ;) (the Lehigh Valley tracks --- now NS -- are across the river).

Thats the railroad that currently owns and operates the trains there. But it is neither the town of Reading or Northern (:p).

LOL. For that answer you get the nose picking smiley ---> :wave:
Is it the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad?

It is Tamaqua, PA. It is on Reading trackage, and the train is the R&N.



EDIT: Hey simulator train. How come you are using the cruddy default trucks on the GP30. I know that ALCO trucks aren't proto, but they look better than the default ones. (You can get the Alco trucks at RRmods by downloading the SOO line GP30)

Other than that, nice screen, and it is good to see someone using my reskin.

They weren't default, but I agree they weren't the greatest. Now they're replaced.

I've got it done, but I still don't understand the whole idea of how to get the new paint features onto the actual locomotive. I was never a big computer wiz so I don't know much about this stuff.

Thanks for the help,
Kay9
