Can anyone give me the basic procedure for replacing the existing trees for a route with some of the many alternates available. Here's my basic scenario:I've got the ProTrain 1 Rhine River, which is a great route in many repects, but it's got AWFUL trees. I'd love to replace them with either default MSTS trees, or even better, some of the beautiful trees available in the library, like Judd Spittler's Marias Pass trees, which are GREAT!There is no REF file with ProTrain 1 (a subject that I've complained about here in the past), so I really need to know the bare-bones process, i.e. I'm going to have to figure out which files are the trees, and replace them with re-named tree files that I want.Could anyone explain the basic "tree appearance" process, so I can figure out how to replace those awful trees. The Rhine River could be a really beautiful place.A real thanks for anyone who can assist.Jeff
