Hi all, new to the game and excited about trying out some reskins and have a couple of questions. when I download and install a reskin for the class 87, will it apply to the coaches the loco hauls in quick drive, similarly how do you use reskins in scenarios? Can you choose before a scenario starts or are you bound to the scenario requirements ? Any comments / advice about reskins and how they work is appreciated. Thanks
Reskin will only apply to that locomotive unless you downloaded a repaint for rolling stock too. Depending on where you got the download from, it may or may not come with a quick drive. Regarding scenarios, unless you download scenarios involving that reskin, then you'll have to make your own. All of the above is assuming you downloaded freeware. If you bought an official reskin on Steam then it'll have a quickdrive for sure and will have its own scenarios and may have some rolling stock come with it.
Here is a useful guide to downloading and installing freeware. It might seem complicated at first but you'll soon get the hang of it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=494777559
Career Scenarios can not be edited as the game thinks you might be cheating. Standard Scenarios can be edited so you can use anything you own in that scenario Steam and Diesel can go anywhere but Electrics can only run over an "Electrified" Route which is defined by the track You can run an AC electric on a Third Rail Route and v.v. as the OHLE and Third Rail are just for show.

P749 Career Scenarios can not be edited as the game thinks you might be cheating. Not per se, and not easily - however, they can be edited if you use TS-Tools to change them to standard. All things being equal after the scenario edit - by editing the scenarioproperties.xml file and change all "Standard" entries to "Career" should work?
Unfortunately a lot of users won't have TS Tools to change the Scenario especially if they are new to the game
