It's pretty simple:
1) Open up the R68 folder you want to modify.
2) Go to the "Exterior" folder and look for the file "FrontD"
3) Open the file and paste the bullet for the route.
- If the bullet you have is smaller than the one there, go to the bottom right of the picture and drag the marker all the way to the top. Then paste the image.
- If the bullet you have is bigger, you're free to just paste the image
4) Save the file
5) Run  OpenBVE

I've tried that already. When I open the "frontD" file,the windows picture and fax veiwer opens that file for me. I can't modifiy or change the file from there. what do I do? Now if you want me to open the file for editing (paint) then thats cool. Which i've done already so now what do I do?

You could have also just re-typed one of the other bullets to frontD while changing the original frontD to something random. That's how I changed it since the train was coded to dispaly whatever bullet lies under frontD.

No problem

That's another option that will work also. You can also go into the coding and change the name of the file also. I just listed one option

Then I would recommend you to try this option first then:

the train you have like r68
Let me reexplain this:
- Using a bullet from the internet
1) Find an image of the route bullet you're looking for.
2) Right click the picture if you're looking at the pic in a browser and click Copy Image.
3) Open up the following file in paint: Your R68 Folder\Exterior\FrontD.bmp
4) Click "Resize" and replace the 2 "100" values with 1
5) Paste the image by clicking the paste icon OR Pressing CTRL and V at the same time on your keyboard
6) Save the file (DO NOT CHANGE THE FILE NAME)

-Using a picture saved already on your computer
1) Open up Your R68 Folder\Exterior\ and look for the FrontD File
2) Rename that file to anything
3) Locate your image and Right click it
4) Select Copy
5) Go back to the R68 folder\Exterior and paste the file
6) Rename the file to FrontD. (Make sure its a .BMP File otherwise it won't work)
