Talking relative merits of various paint programs...I have both Adobe CS2 PaintShop, Paint.NET, and Jasc Paintshop Pro. I have tryed following several re-paint tutorials but I alway get hung up trying to convert a full color DDS to a mono-chrome B/W to make the mask to use for swapping out the body colors. Would you mind explaining your technique to me how you accomplish that in Paint.net?

I would be very, very thankful. Really I would **!!bow!!**

I am taking a page out of your book...the only way that I have successfully loaded various 3rd-Party content, like old routes, is using the Manual Method. After unpacking a .RWP or .RAR or .Z file to a spare directory, I usually get the uncompressed \Railworks\ folder that I can paruse for \assets\ of rolling stock or scenery or \contents\ of routes or scenarios. Then it is a simple matter of copy/paste to the proper Railworks subfolders. Easy Peasy.
!!*ok*!!

Doyle,
I'll PM you later in case we get in a serious back and forth. It's not that hard but I want to be in front of my computer with the stuff so I don't send you off in the wrong direction.
