Update to My Progress

[overkill650]

Hello everyone, hows it been? I've been busy with both life and trainz.
I am making good progress creating my "Mini Long Island Rail Road (LIRR)" route.

I have a couple of questions though:

1. Can I call my route "LIRR MINI ROUTE" or do I have to get permission for that?

2. I have TS2010 Engineer's Edition. What can I use to paint some trains, and what is the process. like does TS2010 have a paintshed? or do i have to use a program like blender?

3. Please can someone simplify what do do to fix obsolete dependencies. I have these really cool gp38s that were with the LIRR in the 1970s-1990s, yet, they have like 20+ missing dependencies. when i view those dependencies, it says it's the exact KUID, except the last digit is a 2. I've researched both the forums and the web on this, and all it tells me is that that means its an old version of the KUID, but not how to fix it.

4. I want to show you guys screenies of my progress. But i never understood the correct way to puyt it in a post. when posting, what do i click? like, what button, and what do i put in? the link i get when viewing the screenie when on imageshack.us?

thanks

Unless you're going to sell it, you can use the name. I wouldn't make a website about it though.

2. I have TS2010 Engineer's Edition. What can I use to paint some trains, and what is the process. like does TS2010 have a paintshed? or do i have to use a program like blender?

No Paintshed, and Blender is for modeling (making the mesh). Use a simple, free program like Paint.net, or Gimp.

3. Please can someone simplify what do do to fix obsolete dependencies. I have these really cool gp38s that were with the LIRR in the 1970s-1990s, yet, they have like 20+ missing dependencies. when i view those dependencies, it says it's the exact KUID, except the last digit is a 2.

Here's the thing: if CMP is telling you that the object is obsolete, then how does it know that? It knows that because a newer version has been uploaded to the DLS.

4. I want to show you guys screenies of my progress. But i never understood the correct way to puyt it in a post. when posting, what do i click? like, what button, and what do i put in? the link i get when viewing the screenie when on imageshack.us?

The icon up there at the top of the reply window with the yellow sky, mountains and postage stamp. If you mouse over it, it says "Insert Image".

An interesting observation about using names. I have a website that indicates both the real operating company and the Trainz name. As it happens it is the only State Railway operating in GB. There are also sites using the name without any problem elsewhere. I somehow doubt if anyone here will be too much bothered - and it will be freeware when I am done!
