What do you mean by having failed stock wise? Are the trains you wants not showing up in the scenario editor?

I don't understand all the technical set up for it all I get is a big orange like train front in a square and the route in the background

Sounds like you could use a decent tutorial, there are several out there. My personal favourite came from Marleyman.

Although the description says it's for TS2013, the information is still good for TS15/16. It helps if you have London Brighton as his tutorial gives you a walkthrough creating a scenario for that route, he does several more tutorials going into more depth in creating passenger and freight scenarios. I prefer "activity" scenarios rather than free roam and will often do my own scenarios to reach those hitherto unexplored parts of a route.

If you don't have London Brighton have a read through anyhow as it may point you in the right direction to get started, although I'm sure others may suggest alternative tutorials that they prefer. I should mention that Marleymans comes as a pdf file and also includes a copy of the scenario that he walks you through creating.
