Use other games models?

I don't know much about making Loco graphics, but I've heard you make 3D models to render the 2D sprites.

I know a game, Trainz, where ppl make there own trains too, like TT and Loco. They are using 3D models (very detailed) and I wonder, if those could be used for Loco too?

And there are probably other games too...

Of course. Just make them the right size, angle, lighting. And it'll turn out right.

I know, for example for the NL set, ppl have made the sprinter, the 6400 Dloc, and lots of other things (you can take a look at http://www.trainz.nl).

On the website of Trainz (http://www.virtualtrainz.com) you can see the download section to see what has been made (I don't know if you need to login)

Yes, of course.

But you need to have the original model in order to render it, and also they need quite a lot of work to look good in locomotion (resizing, retexturing, and details removed or exaggerated).
