	This will be a step-by-step guide that teaches how to make new graphics sets, from the first simple train engine to the most sophisticated train sets with liveries that change in time and special effects such as wagon backlights.

	While the tutorial will be mostly covering train vehicles, all the steps apply to other vehicle types as well, although with slight (but obvious) changes.

	Some pages may have sections labelled "advanced concepts", in which the more advanced uses of certain features are explained. You should perhaps not try to understand these at the first reading, but keep them in mind and come back later if you're ready for a little more sophisticated graphics.
