Where can I get the TS2009 3d importers?

Hi,
I saw on the TS2009 website FAQ the following information:

We have developed a number of new exporters and also an XML importer (Trainz Mesh Importer) which allows easy exporting/importing from various 3D packages.

Since I saw TS2009 was out, I figured that since I wanted to model some trains, and since they're saying it will import from various (I like that word, makes a nice change from programs that only support 3ds) packages that I'd go ahead and purchase the program (especially with its normal map support etc etc).

Sort of hit a snag however in the fact I can't find these importers anywhere in the installed directory, so I'm wondering where you find them?

I did try the import content functions in CM2, but they didn't recognise any standard 3d formats (obj for example), and one of the import options in it seemed to be after what I *think* was the standard file format for trainz itself.

Thanks,
Chief.

I believe you have to go to TrainzDev to find it.

Only XML exporters are for 3D max and Blender.

Well I knew there were exporters for blender etc on TrainzDev site, but from what I gathered they'd been around since TS2006 (and previous?) while their FAQ makes it sound like some new tool that runs seperately from your 3d app (i.e., isn't a plugin for the program).

I'd actually tried registering there about a week or so ago to look at the blender plugin, before I'd seen this FAQ which as I said suggests something different to that, and I'm still waiting on the account to be verified/accepted, dunno how long the process usually takes.
