I found the stations worked in Arctic but were missing in Temperate.
I looked for a common factor and found Glassstation only works in Temperate and not in Arctic, so I turned it off and voilà! Canadian Stations ! :D

Just to keep interests in this sparked, here's a taste of what's to come in v0.2, which OzTrans and I are working hard towards. The release will bring this set to the end of the steam era in Canada (v0.3 will have modern platforms and stations). It will feature a few city stations, including Vancouver Union/Pacific Central Terminal, Hamilton TH&B, Ville Québec, and perhaps Winnipeg's or Calgary's Union Station. Below is a snap of Vancouver Union/Pacific Central, as well as the first generation of roofs.

More to come...

You're signature is correct. We do need the Canadian Station Set.

That's looking bloody marvelous, lifeblood.

Thank you all for the kind words. Twas quite easy to draw actually. Shading is a different story, that's why it appears in black and white for now. The roofs over the buffers are a seperate tiles - do they look OK extending beyond the width of the building?

Just 2 questions:

- what kind of (natural) phenomenon created that artificial pattern on the snowy roofs?
- why are there piles of snow under the roofs? 8)

Great work so far! I think it would also be nice if you had some default Arctic town buildings as station buildings, since they could easily fit into the station graphics.

An artist who wasn't thinking! This shall be fixed by sundown.

Drifting and blowing snow...?

Not sure what you mean here?

>> Nice, but how do peeps get from one platform to the other?
Sub-ways, which are being coded as I type. We, at the Canadian Stations Set, do try to think of everything. :wink:
