Post by superbike2 »

Hello all.

I was toying with the idea of creating a loco. Now as a beginner i have no idea which utilities i need or where i can find them. Basically all i know is that i need bmp images and that is it!. No idea how i use them but if anyone could put me "on the right track" I would be most greatfull

Thanx

Hi James,

Go to Yuri's site at
http://www.railpage.org.au/steam4me/tra ... tml#models

There are dozens of tutorials on that site for making models, plus every other tutorial you should ever need.

Good luck.

Be sure to do a bit of searching and reading on the forum first though, as your not the first person to have asked thing kind of thing. ALL your questions im pretty sure will ahve been answered already. So rather than create new topics...have a look around :)
