First - have you created a file for the engine you want to end up with e.g. "Steelworks"? If not pick one of those in the S2 folder - in mine I have 86 to choose from. Pick one that has some semblance to what you want to achieve such as color of the handrails (just to save you some work no point painting what is painted) then copy the whole file (copy and paste). Change the name to what you want to end up with. Open the folder and then click on the .bin file (RS Tools) Change the name of the engine to the name of your folder (e.g. Steelworks) using Ctrl C, Ctrl F and Ctrl V then hit Replace all. Save (top left box or Ctrl S). If you want a ND version do similar. Then load up the game and check that the Assets box has Alco S2 Steelworks showing and that it loads (still in the original colors and number scheme). If that works then go to Textures and repaint as the tutorial. Changing the number system is a little more complicated but not too bad.
Good luck and persevere. Make sure you backup what you are dabbling with when you start and as you go.
Alternatively send me the texture and the name you want to use and I'll do it for you, have a go if you can though, it is frustrating to start and satisfying when it works.

I've a good memory for whatever I can remember!
If you wait for perfection you will never do anything but it doesn’t stop you wanting it.
Age doesn’t stop you, it just slows you down.
If you only learn one thing in life - learn to think how your actions and words affect others BEFORE doing or saying.
