I download them but they still dont show up? Did I do something wrong? HELP!!! 
this is not a technical issue as such, it is more a branch of map-making, with a possibly steep learning curve. You need to have an basic understanding of how to modify the XML of the "RRT_trains_mapname.xml" file and how to add the required assets (ie trainname.nif, .kf, .kfm, .dds files), provided by the engine-maker, to the usermaps file.
Best to analyse a custom map such as Rodea's Borneo (or my German East Africa map, using Rodea's EMD SD40-2 Soo engine), to understand how it is done, and then experiment with your own simple test map with, say, two standard trains of the same period as the new one you want to use. Try replacing one standard train with the new train. Learning by doing, trial and error, until it works. Then it is a simple cut and paste issue.
