Have you any plans to make some waypoints with graphics that match the station tiles so it'll all blend together neatly?

Most if not all stations in Finland have a fence between the tracks.

I advise you to read the set name, then read it again, and a third time to make sure.

Now this is a good idea that should be investigated.

Could you re-use some of the sprites from the UK waypoints set by Born Acorn and Peter Nelson?

note if you provide waypoints, that they cannot use information about adjacent tiles that are not part of the same waypoint/station in openttd, so the "blending in" part might not be as trivial...

personally, i hate that, but the devs pretty much made up their mind about this design decision... [the alternatives would be to consider adjacency information even with competitor's stations, which might be unwanted as well, or for graphics to change if a competitor is bought]

I did some signal boxes - did I send them to anyone? I can dig them out if you need them.

Just because I used Finnish stations as an example doesn't mean I was ignoring the title. Since I'm not British, I wouldn't know what British stations looked like, so I used the only example I knew. You don't have to get so uppity about it, I only made a constructive suggestion to solve a problem. If it doesn't fancy you a simple "no" will suffice.

Very astute reply!

But seriously could we have some kind of pre-alpha of the test get that mph created? I know it would be buggy etc, but it must be usable (even to only a very small extent).

Is there somewhere one can see what needs to be done for this set? And are you planning on drawing some station buildings to match aswell?

I want to learn to draw but I dont really have to patience to sit down and practice, any tips on learning?

Just to show you British stations can have large empty gaps between the platforms :D Canterbury West and Folkestone West

As so is there a copy of this set going around as I think I keep seeing bits of it in screenshot threads?

They only have gaps where there used to be through tracks that have subsequently been removed. And there isn't a copy of this available to the public and the BMSS concept has not been coded at all.
