Well I've had more than one 'slip-up' myself. :lol:

Could you please tell us which paint program you are using and which train(s) you are working on?

The last time I saw a message like that concerned the Consolidation and the Eight Wheeler. Any change to the Profile resulted in a crash, even if nothing was changed in the file - just saved under a new name.

First I suggest you check out the threads on skinning both here and at www.gathering.com.

I'm not familiar with gimp or photoshop, unfortunately.

Got it to work with photoshops, howevere the other program saved them, the game did not like. Now i just wish i had a way to look at the train without going in game to look at it, to see if itlook okay, when i am reskinning them. Thanks for the help btw.
