Hi Matt,
I think you may get more response from the Building Rolling Stock or 3Dmodelling SubForums.

Good luck

With all due respect guys you need the information you are after has been asked a thousand times. Just above this thread there is one named "A brief guide to 3D Modelling in MSTS". To me that suffice as a starting point if you are planning a 3D Model.

I will warn you now, its not as easy task, it takes time, patience and A LOT of reading. Take the time to try out tutorials first. Don't start by just jumping in a building a train, its not going to work. Try a simple square building and see if you create it, texture it and export it correctly. If you can do that, then you're off to a good start. If you can't then I wouldn't bother trying to create a train.

Best of luck... :)
