Terminus station + switches?

[Veristek]

Hey all.

I was wondering if any of you guys know where I can get the following:

1. Functional slip switches

2. Animated switches that can accept and use Auran 2009 track

3. 12 platform terminus station with 5m US track spacing so I can use the NEC catenary seamlessly with it instead of AJS invisible stations which use 3.5m spacing

I'm trying to set up a big terminus station with 12 tracks and I want it to look like a real terminus with slip switches and catenary and everything. Does anyone have any good suggestions for track junctions and stuff for an effective terminus station?

For 1 and 2 check out the Murchison 2 add-on for TS2009.

They are not as good as andi06's 2009 beta junctions.

How do you get the points to move, there aren't any levers?

I tried looking for "Junctions" and "Switches" on the DLS and haven't found anything that I'm looking for. Where do I find Andi's stuff?

I'm using TRS 2009, by the way.

Right now, I'm trying to create not only a terminus station yard where trains can be shifted to 12 different platform tracks (track 1, 2, 3....) but also a train maintainence + storage yard nearby where the passenger trains are cleaned, maintained, stored, etc. I'm taking Boston's South Station, NYC's Penn Station, and the Amtrak Sunnyside yard as inspiration. Although looking at the Sunnyside Yard's map, I'm like "No way I can understand or model like 200+ tracks jumbled together".

This is a fictional route loosely based off the Boston + NYC areas, with some mountains, countryside, etc. outside of the urban area.

In my station building and yard building, I'm using a lot of diamond crossovers and 3-way switches. I've been having a hell of a time trying to create proper yard shunts, because when I try to do that, the tracks get bent out of shape. I'll post a few screenshots later on of what I'm referring to.
