Does anybody know if there is a tutorial covering the reskinning of locos and also changing couplings?. I hope somebody can help.

Hi Harold - welcome to the forums.

I don't think there's a reskin tutorial available on UKTS (though I could be wrong). However, there is one on the BATS site in their file repository - check the reskins downloads section.

The best and easiest way to change couplings is by using Route Riter - available from the Quick Picks menu here. It will also change all your loco, coach and wagon couplings in one go if you want.

cheers
Ashley

There is a re-texturing tutorial on UKTrainSim - see http://www.uktrainsim.com/index2.php?fo ... texturing1

It's pretty simple, just use something like TGATool2 and transfer the texture files from ACE to TGA, then open the TGA in something like Photoshop.

Then simply use that program to cover the old texture sheet with the new one, making sure you don't move anything around as this will affect how it appears on the model.
