Reskinning Questions

I am fairly new to the reskinning game for Trainz and am curious if someone could help me solve this issue. I've noticed that JR's newest locomotive releases have different map_1 and map1-bump files than previous releases. The bump file behaves as before but the map_1 file no longer has the actual colored map of the skins that I can edit. If anyone can help point me in the right direction on how to reskin these newer releases.

If you mean the map1.tga looks almost completely transparent, I believe that can be fixed by going to 'channels' in your image editor and turning off the alpha channel. For a while I couldn't figure out why the textures were visible in Photoshop and strangely transparent in Gimp, until I fiddled with the channels in Gimp and solved it.

Well, I removed the alpha channel and I can see the beginning of the map but there aren't any colors.

I'm having the same problem as you.

Is anybody able to help, please?
