In future improvments to my New Jersey Map I was thinking of doing a Grf based off varous trollyies/light rail from New Jersey.I need someone to draw/code them for me but I will provide the info.
For example

HB Series(Used on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail)

# Seated Capacity 69
# Peak Commuter Capacity 121
# Maximum Speed 55 mph
Intro date 2000
Running Costs:?

Stadler GTW(Used on the River Line)

First Year of Service 2004
Passenger capacity 70 standard; 20 fold-up seats; 94 standees
Maximum Speed 70 mph (112 km/h)
Approximate cost per unit $3.6 million in 2004(Could make it $36,000)

That is just the starter info I will try to look for more Vehicles.

I could try to draw them but what do I use to draw the sprites and some tutorials on how to draw these things.

Paint Shop Pro and your mouse!

Paint Shop Pro and your mouse!

1.I'm on a budget(Free even though I do have access to Photoshop at my school)
2.Some pointers like What scale do I have to draw these things?

1. Paint.NET is free and would do just fine.
2. Purno's drawing tutorial: http://users.tt-forums.net/purno/PDT/re ... index.html

So using Purno's material and Paint.net
Here is my first sprite ever ( )
It's the side of the Stadler GTW Tram in the photo I posted above

It has so many flaws I can only tell you to improve everything .

I suggest you to look again in Purno's Drawing Tutorial and look at the size of trains in TTD. Here is TTD palette. Use colours from it. Beware of action colours though.

See I told you people I suck at this.

Come on, don't take it personally now.. it sure was rude how he formulated his post, but you can't deny that you'll have to work on it a bit more until it's usable as sprites for a grf.

For example, you made it only half the height, why?
Just look at some sprites from already existing sets, for example this: http://www.tt-forums.net/download/file.php?id=90251 (random find in the japan set thread). Trains should have approximately that size.
