Please excuse my ignorance but how do I access this?
I am following Dick Cowen's pdf about renaming loco tender and have hit the stop!
In the Blueprint editor I can't find a Preview button either.
Maybe I need new glasses ....

Are you repainting or making a new tender?
You need to have IGS file to view it in Blueprint Editor.

I want to change the name on an existing tender by changing one of Dick's "road names" .

Should have said, I have produced the .ace file but the next step is the problem. How to get the .ace file into the editor and then into the system! I appreciate any help as this is my first attempt at anything other than routes and scenarios.

Please check out repainting tutorials on Railworks America Website learning section.

He's trying to say you're doing this project the hard way. Use RSBin Tool to convert the TgPcDx file to DDS. Use DXTBMP to convert the DDS to BMP. DXTBMP will send the texture to your graphics editor to reskin the color of your roadname. It will also send the alpha texture to your editor to edit the roadname itself. You reverse the process to get the converted texture back into the game.

There are lots of posts here regarding editing Britkits roadnames.

After a number of false starts, dead ends and frustrating hours, (very annoying when a step is either missed or done out of turn) and due to interference with the RWA website from .... not being able to consult the learning centre properly, I have succeeded with my first repaint. Once again, gentlemen, thank you.
