So does anyone know a good station for the Superliners?

[howard334]

I would like to find passenger enabled stations that look good with the Superliners (i.e. low platform instead of the standard ones). Sing or doub track ok. Thanx

TIA

Off the top of my head, bnsf50's Tehachapi Depot (<kuid2:39134:100039:1>) And the Central Station (<kuid2:63290:28020:1>) and Pitkin Station (<kuid2:63290:28018:3>) by elvenor all have very low loading platforms. I believe Bendorsey has some stations on the DLS that may fit the bill too. Although a few of these also use the custom Western Passengers, so you may need to change them to the default ones unless you want cowboys riding Amtrak.

Another alternative is to use one of the 'track only' station assets (just a track and attachment points for waiting passengers, really) and use a platform spline (the DLS has dozens) and a stand-alone station building.

I appreciate that bit of info - I didn't think to "build" a station from a basic industry asset. Great idea. Other layouts that I explored to try and find a solution used track marks so AI could find the stations but then would just stop at the beginning of the platform (or the middle if that is where the mark was and you couldn't use the "Load" command) - I would rather they stop correctly at the station using that command.

Thanx for the heads-up.

The AJS stations can be used in the way xengeance is suggesting; I've been doing that with a few stations on my CP C&M subdivision route. The only real problem is that you have to change the passenger height for the stations each new session or else you end up with floating people (worse than cowboys on Amtrak: hovercraft on Amtrak!)
