Today I have a engine skinning problem that I want to consult to all of senior RRT3 players.
I have searched this forum with several keywords, but I didn't find the answer...
That's why I post my problems here.
I believe most of you have experiences of using the skinning tool from "Coast to Coast Expansion" or downloading new engine skins or engine models.
My problem is, for most of new engines, both new skinning or new models,
when the in-game "time" becomes night, those models have strange "gold (or light yellow) frames"...

(This is my homemade painting of "Class EF66")
For another two examples, these are two new painting or new models I downloaded from this website.

These photos show the strange "gold frame" phenomenon mainly occurs on the wheel, handrail and pantograph (for ELs ).
It also happens even on new freight coaches! (I saw it happened on the new pulpwood coach last night.)
But for some new models (like N&W SD40)and already-exist engines from original game, this wouldn't happen.
Below is the comparison of normal "Homemade Class EF66" and "Original Class EF66" at night time

I tried to solve this problem, but the only conclusion I got is "this is not texture's fault! "

That means, the texture has nothing to do with this problem (I think).
Because Even I use the same .tga file of original painting to create a "new" skin, this problem still occurs.
Did anybody know how to solve this strange problem?
If anyone is interested in my "homemade Class EF66" skin (which is the original painting of JNR, Japan National Railways) and solve my problem,
I can send this skin data as my appreciation.
