MI Trains Photo Exchange
Posts 42nd Group of Photos
|
MI Trains Members once again provide photos through the MI Trains
Photo Exchange. Roger Johnson, Thomas Cardinal, Milt Hilbrecht, John Moseley, and Earl Hayes contributed
this 42nd group of 250 photos, expanding the total number of MI Trains photos to over 4,000.
With Member knowledge of MI Trains features, this latest group of Lionel - Post War, MPC, Modern,
MTH, K-Line, and Ready Made Trains shows .jpg photo formats and posts multiple photo views per piece.
As is true with the prior Lionel, MTH, and K-Line photo postings, these all link directly into the most
recent October 2007 MI Trains Version 5.5 update.
Do you have the latest version 5.5 of MI Trains?
Why not review to see what version you have, and what features and functionality you are missing?
Simply use the red tabs at the top - look around!

We have posted photos
from a number of Manufacturers - Lionel, MTH, and K-Line for sure. But you may also
want to look at photos for the other Manufacturers, as well - Arsto-Craft, Atlas, Industrial Rail, Weaver, Williams...
Please remember (as some Members have reported), the thumbnails of
the photos are great, but with the speed of Your modem, it may take longer to download all
the thumbnail images.
That is why we provided a choice... either use the check box to see the
thumbnails before you download the photo or just view the text before you download.
If you are interested, Click Here
and follow this menu path,
| |
1.
You have linked to the MI Trains Picture Download Screen.
Note the two boxes and the thumbnail check box. Use
the pull down menu (little down arrow to the right of the first box) to
highlight to which manufacturer you have interest, and check the Check Box if
you would like to see thumbnail images.
2. Click the Get Pictures button.
Based upon the speed of Your modem, the download of the thumbnail photos may
take some time. Should your browser time out, either click the refresh button on
your browser, or click the Get Pictures button again, until all the thumbnails
for that manufacturer appear. And of course, if you did not check that you wanted
to see the thumbnails... then you will not!
3. Look over the photos available, and choose
the one you want,
by placing your cursor on that picture, and clicking. Note all the Newly added
photos are noted ***New***
4. A new pop-up
window appears, and the photo you chose begins downloading from the MI Trains
Website. Based upon the speed of your modem, the download may take
some seconds or as much as a minute.
5. When the photo appears
in this new pop-up window, follow the directions on the top of the window,
specifically...
6. Place your cursor on the photo and
right click your mouse.
7. A pop-up window appears. Select/Click
on Save Picture as....
8. A second pop-up window appears, asking
where you want to save the photo.
9. Use the buttons at the top of the window
to direct the path to
c:\program files\mitrains\images. This is the default directory for the Images
within MI Trains. If you changed your default directory when you originally
installed MI Trains you need to enter that path in this text box.
10. Click
the Save button.

Roger Johnson makes full use of MI Trains features,
and excels with his knowledge & use of MI Trains functionality. Besides his individual shots of many Lionel, MTH,
and K-Line pieces, have a look at his use of the ability to take multiple views of
each piece - which also serves to make for terrific insurance documentation.
Roger sent in some "knock-your-socks-off" shots of his K-Line Collectors Club Exclusive - 1996
Chesapeake and Ohio F-7 ABA Unit Diesels - 25151. Good looking set!
Again, being very detailed in taking his photos from a number of views - front, back, and ends of a piece,
