Does anybody have a tutorial for the most recent version of Blender? Everything I’m finding seems to be for an older version and things have apparently been drastically switched around since then. I already have the MSTS/ORTS exporter added, and I’ve started with modeling a basic rectangular shape that could be a small platform section. I’d like to learn how to start modeling progressively more complex scenery objects before moving on to locomotives and rolling stock eventually. It seems to be a very user friendly program once you get past the learning curve.. Thanks in advance.

Pete Willard has a notebook of how to do the basics

For the curious...
When you UNWRAP, you can set a margin for islands using the UNWRAP tab that shows up at the bottom. (It will not show up in all situations but you would need to click it to expand it to see additional options.) If you make any changes or steps AFTER this step, you will lose this tab and you can't get it back unless you perform UNDO steps.

After a bunch of pulled hairs and following Pete's guide which I can see is absolutely essential, I have labored to produce my first scenery object which I dont think has turned out quite so bad for a first attempt.

You're a step ahead of me here. So I can see what I am in for. I am currently going through the Blender stuff setting Blender up. Because I want to get better at things. I have a couple of routes I'd like to do such as the Parkersburg branch I would love to do.M. PayneComment

Same here. I've opened Blender a hundred times but usually get frustrated and close down after 20 minutes of it not behaving like Sketchup....

Tried to attempt making a simple 40 foot container in Blender, with Pete's guide, and I am still completely scratching my head at one to do. TSM is old, but still works just fine for me at the moment with simple shapes.
So, I definitely can give credit to those able to jump into Blender.-Shawn K-
