You can use the Select tool in Paint.NET to select the area where the gauge is, and then use the Move Selected Pixels tool to move it where you want. You will have to fill in the spot where the gauge previously was though...

That requires some tinkering with the Panel.cfg/Panel2.cfg, there should be the coordinates in that file that say where the centre/top left corner of the gauge/speedometer is located on the panel image.

the announcements are coded into the route , not the train. for my video , i coded in announcements into the route . You can however replace the Horn or Horn 2 with an announcement such as "Stand Clear Of the closing doors"

It is perfectly okay to make any modifications, and re-use any other content you want for just your personal use, as long as you NOT re-distribute it/post videos of it. So technically you can do it, but ONLY for your personal use, just do not re-release it without permission from Mr Railfan.
