I used:
Platforms: "Platform Tarmac Modern with Edging Stones" kuid:179051:1297 or kuid:179051:1324. I cannot remember which it is--oddly they both have the same name on the DLS.
Yellow Fence: "Fence Coaster" (built-in)
Columns: "AJS Subsurface Columns Red" kuid:134105:3260:1
The track ballast ground texture is called "Ballast DGrey" kuid:98193:10646
The overhead sign is called "Subway Hanging Sign New" and is made by Magicland; kuid:58843:37018
But--aside from the fence, ground texture and hanging sign, why not use my platforms to create more intricate stations?I plan on re-doing the 42 St Shuttle stations using my station kit.
Thanks Eric! To be frank, the only thing that separates subpar content from truly excellent content is the dedication/patience of the creator, and really good textures. I've seen so/so content re-skinned to look truly impressive.
Also, why not go for a digital download, and then save the files on a DVD for future use, if needed for a re-install? It's what I used for TS09/10. I suppose it depends on the speed of your internet connection, but I've always felt a digital download is the way to go---quicker since most of us Trainzers are really impatient (yours truly included!)
Also, I'm taking a week or two off from NYCTA content/route building to focus on BART. Plus, I'm awaiting three books worth of single-line signal diagrams for the entire NYCTA subway system to arrive in the mail, so until then, I won't resume the project. I'm not at liberty to say who or where I found these books, but it's the culmination of a two year search and I couldn't be happier!
Also, I read a thread somewhere on the boards that answers the questions for those of you who have been asking about making my 2010 route available in 2009---the scripting and such of 2010 is that so you cannot back-date to 2009. I know they're similar, but most of the aspects of a basic 2010 route are only available for that version of the game. I've tried backdating several times for you guys, and I still get the same "error no map selected" message when trying to load it. So, when I get the signal diagrams, I may consider re-doing the entire layout in TS2009, so that you guys can enjoy it as well. Unfortunately, I do not feel like producing the full route for any version prior to 2009, so if you have TC 1 & 2, you won't be able to play the route. Like I've said prior, ALL of the content I'm creating is for 04 and above--just not the physical route itself. It was a sacrifice I had to make, and since 2006 is buggy and doesn't work on either of my machines, I'm going with 09 and above--I hope you all understand. But, if you have 04/06/TC, use my content and impress me with your creations!
Now, I'm going to eagerly await the mailman and maybe bust out some content! :hehe:
-A :wave:
LOL i do plan on using your stations, but i'm going to follow the words of a wise developer and not over use them. let other people have a chance at using them.
And thanks for telling me the names of the items i asked about. really appreciate it. P.S.
On a smaller note Acelejalde i think you should revise your calculations for the Times Sq Station Shuttle connection. you can actually reach out and touch the uptown local trains when they pass by when there going slow. (well i can reach out and touch
) i mean by looking at the picture i say that you put te uptown tracks a little to far from the steel platform walkway. but that's my opinion

I look forward to seeing your creative mix of station building as well. You're pictures tell me that you're a bit more patient with route building than me :hehe:
