google wypluło podpowiedź do ESU, może pomoże.
So how do you add icons to an ECoS? Do you have to submit them to ESU for adding to a central library? If so, and having done so, how do they get onto your ECoS, as part of a regular firmware update or what? Or can you transfer your own icons locally?
You create a bitmap (BMP) file of the image on your computer that matches the file spec as published in the ECoS manual - there are different specs for the files for the colour screen ECoS 2 to those for the B&W screen ECoS 1. You can then upload your newly created loco icon to your ECoS yourself direct from your computer without any assistance from ESU. If you want to share it with other ECoS users you can upload it to a part of the ESU web site called the Loco Icon Bazaar, that is the central library. That part of the web site is only available to ECoS owners.
Or if you can't manage to create icons yourself, you can download as many icons as you want, one at a time, to your computer from the Loco Icon Bazaar, and once it is on your computer you then upload it to the ECoS just as if you had created it yourself.
The majority of the icons that I've created started life as real photos taken with a digital camera. I then crop and resize them so that they match the required file spec.Here's an example of the icons available for the EM1/Class 76, most of which I've created from my Trix and Heljan models.

[DOUBLEPOST=1503382720][/DOUBLEPOST]edit: dalej jest poprawka:
Is it possible to import pictures of your own loco's into the memory on this DCC system?
I'm not sure.
I stand to be corrected, but I don't think that's available at the present time.
There's an on-board library of pre-loaded loco images, but that will be limited to a certain number of (German) prototypes.
The ESU Mobile Control 2, on which the SmartControl handset is based, has both a pre-loaded images and the ability to select user defined images (your own pictures).
These user defined images are installed via the main ECoS Command Station and subsequently uploaded automatically to the Mobile Control 2 handset.
They will be selectable under the "other" category in the loco icons menu.
This method of importing images isn't an option available to the SmartControl, as there is no ECoS equivalent in the systems set-up.
However, the "other" option for selecting loco icons is already available on the SmartControl handset, so it may be that there is passive provision for uploading images in some way, at some point in the future.

Should I stop digging?

From what I can glean, you don't need to access any of those databases to install your own images on an ECoS.
Suitably sized icons can be uploaded directly from your own computer.

Yes, it is easy to upload your own images to ECoS from your computer Windows, Apple, Chromebook or Linux, it doesn't matter, which, that's why so many users like myself have created our own, often from our own pictures taken with digital cameras of our models, or even in the case of one of my loco images, of the actual 1:1 loco itself (LT/Metropolitan Railway MetroVic No. 12 - "Sarah Siddons"). We've been able to upload our own images since the August 2010 release of ECoS firmware 3.3.0, previously we were restricted to the images built in to the ECoS firmware..
However, you need to be able to turn a photo into an image in the required format (190 x 40 pixels). Not every ECoS owner has the software and/or the time, and/or patience and/or skill to, do that when nowadays 8 megapixels seems to be the "minimum resolution" for digital cameras and smartphones which means starting with an image that could be as large as 3,000 x 2,250 pixels, if not larger still. Hence the importance of the icons created by users and shared with other ECoS users via the "Loco Icon Bazar" on ESU's website which holds all the images that us ECoS owners have uploaded to the ESU website.
The Loco Icon Bazaar is only accessible to ECoS owners.
