Been absent (off and on) from the game for a couple of years but back in it for the moment.
Trying asset-building for the first time as well which is a whole new experience!

Below is an initial attempt at a 'mid-century modern' station (based on no station building in particular) :)

Early afternoon service - note the lack of passengers!

I thought I'd have a go creating a smaller building as well - as not every town had a large station building!

This one is based loosly on the building in Pahiatua (though also still a work in progress).

Seems fitting posing an 88-seater by the station building - this may happen again sooner rather than later...

Still some things to finish off (such as the correct windows along the platform) but it's getting there...
 
Well done itsmrb - always good to see more NZ content in the scene. What modeling program do you use?

Using Blender at this point in time. (Didn't want to invest to much until I had an idea if I could actually produce something.)
 
Finally got back to this after a few distractions and created a third, small station based on the mid-1960s building formerly located at Ōwhango in the central North Island. There are a few other similar structures (such as Henley, Waikanae and Kai Iwi) that were very similar but this was the only one I'd noticed built with a brick veneer, which matched the rest of the set.

Still a few details to include such as spouting, and nightlight effects.

Also considering if a sink the windows into the building slightly to match the actual building. I haven't for the rest but as this one is a smaller building it might be worth while.

If anyone else is thinking of making assets, buildings are a great low-risk way to slowly get to terms with how everything works :)
