The pieces area all there. You need to assemble them to make the terminal. This may mean downloading the parts from the DLS and putting them together.

Check out the station parts and buildings by the "bridge king" Bendorsey. His New Haven is a good building to use as the station head house. I've used that a couple of times. He has also made some interactive platforms to go with it as well. I've used them seperately on my route with different station buildings to mix up and vary the content.

Regarding multiple layers. There's a way to do this by using your built-in and downloadable assets. I did this for my main passenger terminal. It was a pain in the butt, but it worked out okay. I simply placed invisible platforms below some bridges that support the tracks above. This gave me 8 tracks above and 4 more below. I just renamed the lower station tracks as Eastport Termainl Lower Level instead of being the main termainal so I can send trains to the platforms. To cover over the tracks, I used grass and concrete surface splines.

The important thing to remember is once you get the station in place down below, test it first before you cover it over. I found out the hard way and had to redo stuff a few times before it came out exactly how I wanted it.

I hope this helps to at least give you some suggestions on where to get to where you want to be.

You might like to have a look at Andi Smiths stuff - website here:

You can make pretty much any station you want by combining the various bits.

There are tutorials on Andi's site and you can get his content from the DLS.
