Is there a way to import my own images into The Advertiser such as a logo for my railroad?

I can't find any way to do it -- and it seems like an important feature that is missing. The only thing that I can think of to do is to make signs in Inkscape and then import them into Model Builder or make signs using Model Builder and either way save as a mb4 in your own library of files.

By going through the main Model Builder program, I was able to import an image that I scanned from a periodical. Still researching other options.

Made great progress today! Here are some workarounds:
You can import in MB by clicking on file, then import.
You can only import jpeg's. To convert an image to jpeg, use microsoft paint, included with most windows programs. Drag your image into microsoft paint. Then click "save as" and choose the format of "jpeg". Save it to your desktop. Then import from your desktop into mb.
A great site for ideas is:

I have been goggling topics and then selecting "images".
Here is a similar one of the tutorial videos:
