OK I know I said I have a lot in the works, but I am going to try a new modeler where can I find all the links to the tutorials on making a loco that will tell me what to do step by step intell the loco is complete. One more thing what did Microsoft use to make the trains in MSTS? I am only doing this because GMAX has a few more things then TSM.

At the end of their era most steam locomotives were left to rust or worse, cut up for scarp iron and sold to the highest bidder. It is to doun bad that them dawggone diesel's took over. C&O for life love them big Greenbriers and C&O steam locomotive 614 the Phoenix Engine.

A word of warning here. Do all the basic tutorials, whether they are even remotely related to MSTS or not and learn how to use the main building tools first before you even think about starting an engine or wagon.

If you can't work out where to start from all the material I've listed for you and the heaps of tutorials available on many of the freeware sites, then you'll just have to use your initiative !

Heres a word for you.......NO !I can see that recognising sarcasm is not a strong point and you make sure you get permission from the creator of whatever model your re-skinning before you even think about posting a screenshot or uploading it anywhere.
