Dodie.com has added more photos to its FTP Download

Exchange. To download these photos
Click Here and select the photos you like. These photos can be used in the MI Trains
Application, the MI Trains Photo Viewer or any other software that supports .bmp or .jpg
files.
This Twenty-Second Group, containing 100 images, is ready to download into your MI Trains
System. It offers a blend of Lionel Pre-War, Lionel Post War, Lionel Modern, MTH, and K-Line.
And this group brings the total to 940 posted to the
Dodie and MI Trains website, and when coupled with the 160 on the MI Trains CD-ROM, we
are over
1,100 pre-loaded photos.
As is true with the prior photo postings, these all link directly into the
MI Trains January 2002 update release.
We have gotten many compliments on the new (now somewhat old) MI Trains Picture
Download Screen which provides handy
thumbnail viewing of all photos available on the MI Trains website. It is
now easier to identify what you would like to download, by providing a method to see photos
for each specific Manufacturer, as well as highlighting those photos which are newly added.
And 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 the following simple 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.
