MI Trains has added more photos to its
Download section, through the Member Photo
Exchange. To download these photos
Click Here and select the photos you like. These photos can be used within MI Trains
Software, the MI Trains Photo Viewer or any other software that supports .bmp or .jpg
files.
This 32nd group expands the total number of MI Trains photos to 2,200 and contains Lionel - Pre-War,
Post War, Modern, and more Catalogs/Flyers, MTH, K-Line, and Atlas.
We continue to take advantage of the latest features of MI Trains, posting .jpg photo formats,
and posting 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 MI Trains Version 4.2 update release.
Do you have the latest version 4.2 of MI Trains?
Why not review to see what version you have, and what features and functionality you may be missing?
New postings are identified as ***New***
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 - 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.
