    Apologies if this has been covered but does anyone have a (very) idiots guide to doing this, my 9 year old plays this game constantly when he comes to mine on a weekend (& is much better than me at it too), he is desperate to create his own train but we have looked on youtube & its all a bit confusing for us!! Thanks in advance.

    It is not a simple task
    You have to have a photo editor and also download a number of free programs to make it work
    Text files have to edited using a special editor to make things work

    The you tube videos look confusing because it's a complicated process

    Yes, unfortunately reskinning a train is a very complex process. A very respected member of the RWA forums, Buzz456, made a repaint guide on how to create a reskin as well.

    (This one involves the technical coding aspect).

    (and this one is about getting the train texture file from the folder into the paint).
