The tutorials you're using are for buildings, not vehicles like a tram. You may need certain dummies, and you'll definitely need a tram dummy for the very centre at position 0,0,0.

 

So though you're having trouble getting a dff to appear, your method won't work anyway. Try importing the original tram.dff into Max so you can view it. The problem with SketchUp is the lack of any technical detail in making a simple user interface means it's terrible for designing for a game. At least, you're gonna need more than 2 programs and it's going to be lengthy and complex.
