Have you tried rotating the station 180 degrees? may have something to do with which direction it is laid in relation to the track. As in, if the track is laid north to south and the platform object is south to north, then it will read the train as if it is traveling in direction that platform is laid, rather than the track and open the doors as such.
Easy way to check is to place a track direction marker on the track both sides, then on the platform object. Another way would be to run a train in the opposite direction, stopping at the platform and see what side the doors open.

Great shots of late everybody; is inspiring me to try and get stuck into trainz a bit more often than i have the last year or so.

Matt.


I have checked the stations, and the track is in fact running the opposite direction to what I am travelling. Is there a way to change the direction. I will have a look myself now. :)
 
Hi Roy
Over the last year or so i have been building Sydney City Circle Stations but due to a set back none are complete at this point and may not be completed for some time to come,
However if Catenary height is a problem then i have an adjustable Catenary that matches my tunnels that you have.
If you could use this asset then let me know and i will setup a link for you to download it.

Hi Steve, Thank you for the kind offer - I would appreciate that.
I had thought of using 'UK 50m tunnel single pylon' which I could set the height from each spline point, and then bring the roof level down to match the stems.

So far, it looks like you've done a good job on the stations and it would be nice to see them finished.

Cheers mate,
Roy

G'day everyone,
It is with great pleasure that I present, the latest Ben Dorsey creation - The Albury Rail Bridge

It inspired me to work on scenery all afternoon. Really great to have it in game, a fantastic effort. Thank you Ben.
Cheers,
Graeme

I've set myself a project. I thought I might create from scratch, the City Circle stations with whatever I can find from the DLS or from some of the great layouts that have built over the years. Unfortunately, most of the subway or metro stations available at present, don't have sufficient height for the NSW 'Electrics'. Roof height-levels are far too low and fixed track is too tight to the platforms and walls making them un-satisfactory. I didn't get a degree in model creation and so my skills are rather limited, but I'll have a go.
Here's the start of St James Station, at present with escalators instead of steps. If something better comes along, then I'll swap.

Using 'UK 50m Tunnel Single Pylon' gives me a catenary and a flat roof (I would like a curved roof so I'll keep looking). This is adjustable which I can move upwards to match the NSW Catenary and all I need to do then is to increase the height of the walls and tunnel portal accordingly.

Some City Circle station logos and smarter wall tiling might make things look better. Anyway, it's a start.

Looks like a good start Roy. Theres not enough Aussie underground routes around. It'd be nice if someone would make a decent Melbourne City Loop though.
cheers,
Graeme
 
Since the Geelong line includes the city loop and I was actually playing around with it last night, I'm very much in favour of what you said Graeme. The assets we have available are lacklustre, and I'm not convinced I can go underground with Roy's excellent custom underground station there.

The Loop has to be underground in trainz because a: it's in the city, and b: in such close proximity to other surface lines.

Ryan is this what you want, it is a simple arched concrete roof.
At the centre it is 1.6 metres higher than the outside edges and is a spline.
It will have to be made to fit your station size or the pitch you would like either way easy fix.
Just let me know what size you want and i'll knock it up for you.
The roof can only be seen from the underside of the roof. The roof you see is 6 meters wide

Hey Steve,
That curved subway roof looks sweet. To cover the average platform width plus one track, the roof would need to be say, 12 meters wide.
Being a spline, it could suit any platform length. Nice work mate. I look forward to seeing it.

By the way, when you made the Sydney Harbour Bridge model, did you happen to make a single track Sydney Tunnel Portal with a single track tunnel spline? I can use the dual track tunnel you provided then insert a separation wall, however from the 'cab view' it looks like a half-tunnel.
Cheers,
Roy
 
Yes Roy i have single tunnel matching the dual tunnel as well i have left and right hand turnouts for the single and the dual tunnels.
With the curved roof the apex height is 1.6 m at 6 m wide if it was 12 m i would raise the height by .500 to 1 m in height so it didn't look to flat, but let me know and i'll knock it up for you guys.

Thanks Steve, I know you are busy but I would appreciate the single tunnel assets whenever you have the time. No rush.

Just a few moments ago, I was looking at some Sydney Museum Station images and there, the curved roof covers two platforms plus the dual track. So in that case, that particular roof would be about 24 meters wide.
It would be handy to have one at 12 meters and one at 24 meters.

Thanks for your help Steve, cheers,

Hi Steve,

These would be very useful for my route.

If possible, can I get two versions, an 8m wide and an 18m wide?

Thanks :)

Rememeber it can only be seen from underside of roof
