I use Sketchup and TSM to create MSTS/OR models. Sketchup I find more intuitive and simplest, but is not really suitable for animation. I find that applyinf a texture is easy and flexible. Both...

I would not access ET until Dave gives the all clear.

Dave is aware of the issue(s). If you log out, you will not be able to log back in. So do not log out. There also appears to be other issues such as adding new messages to forums.

I just ran the installer..then the usual where to put it. It is on my drive f:\.

I use TSM on a Windows 10 computer.

Sketchup has a updated exporter for MSTS's .S format available at ET.
