That's right, nowadays thanks to Or addons are similar, graphically and technically. I don't know about American/British locos. Here in Italy I can tell you that we have some mediocre models that need some tweaks, FS freight cars for RW are better made with more detailed textures and models

My interest in Railways has always been "International" and obviously being British I was interested in our own Railways. When a massive percentage of UK modelers dropped MSTS (and OR) in favour of RW it left only a few good UK modelers still producing new stuff. Sadly many of the really good ones just dropped MSTS/OR and went over to RW/TS20XX and sadly many of them seem to have given up on modelling altogether :unsure: . It was an easy choice for me to focus my Hobby on North America purely because there is new content and even new payware content.
I had some great European Routes in the past but sadly all lost in a HDD "melt down" :(
It's a shame that some cannot be persuaded to look back at where we're at with OR?
I occasionally look at new TS20XX content and especially routes and think they aren't even up to some of the best new MSTS/OR routes. ....and stock (however good) without decent routes to run on..... is pretty pointless?

Of course, in my case, I have the master files. (Though I mentioned that it's probably easier to just start over as my modeling tools are better now as well)

Can you please explain? Are you referring to the Open Rails Demo route? If so, then it is only a section of the route and a small selection of stock. Unfortunately, the original route and its extensions are no longer "legitimately" available.

Just of of technical interest i looked a bit into this and it seams like you can use TS-Tools to do a lot.
But since I don't have RW installed anymore, I could only view and convert a RW TgPcDx texture file into a png.
(I don't know anything about modding RW, it seams like the rwp file it just a zip, winrar open up when clicking on it)
Anyway with NinjaRipper 2 you can extract any DirectX game mesh and texture.
And as a test I ripped a submarine from a Subsim and imported into Blender 3.5.1,
and after 30 minutes of removing unwanted meshes(sky dome, watersplash, smokeeffect)
it looks pretty good, still much mesh/texture work ahead, but it much better that starting from scratch.
So assuming that you got RW-TS and Ninja works with that, Reshade (hooks) seams to conflict, you could rip the hole scene, import into blender remove all the RW proprietary mesh/texture and only keep the train you have permission for and export that to Open Rails.
