Hi, you could import your Bitmap (.bmp) or Targa (.tga) files with your textures into TGATools2 which can be found at: http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/index.htm
This program will then take your files and convert them to .ace files.
This is the tool I use to create all of my .ace files and it is wonderful!
You will also want to make sure you are using the updated Makeace which you can get from the Microsoft Train Simulator site: http://www.microsoft.com/games/trainsim/ (It was down when I posted this link, so hopefully it will be back up soon!)
I am currently working on creating some tutorials on how to use TGATools2 to make .ace files and then importing them back into the game. I don't know when I'll have it done, but hopefully it will be soon. Any other questions, feel free to reply to this message or send a private message.
Hope this helps!
