That I am unsure with. I somehow doubt it, but there are ways that it can be. Just make sure you backup your trackst.dat file before installing mine. If it turns out they're not compatible, you can always copy over your backed up trackst file if you (somehow) get bored with my pack.

edit
What pack are his stations in again? :oops:

not liking the signposts changing into the buildings, i'd prefer to just plonk down the building as it is, and have the signs as an added accessory

Geoff, i found the scaling we were using

SFM = Z axis to 0.80
MSTS-LOCO = Y offset to 0.7
MSTS-LOCO = Distance 32

Cheers, I found it just before you posted it. Although, after playing around I've found out that the right scaling is a little different. So I could match the stuff I've already done. Now that I've found out how to do this pack in 3D, its now time to experiment on texturing.

Another thing, some of you are having troubles with the WinRar by not having it. You can get WinRar for free, just search google. However, I am thinking of changing the pack to a WinZip so more people can download and use this pack. What are your thoughts?

Just use 7-Zip...

These station platforms and buildings are awesome... well done!!!! Just one question, how do I place the single sided platform sections? I can see them in the selection of pieces when selecting the items for inclusion in the game, but when I place UK track style for the stations they do not appear, only the wide sections appear (in the electrification tab, if anybody else was wondering!!). I have tried experimenting with selecting just one of the -UK Trains in vehicle selection but to no avail. Please help, as this would really top off an excellent add-on

Many thanks, and keep up the good work,
Regards, Dave

They are exactly the same, found under the electrification tab for the railway track, but only if you select both the UK train station vehicles.¨

Hey, my first post for 2011!

Hi, i tried again making sure that I have both UK station packs selected and still only have the main platform tiles appearing under the electrification tab. I tried using different start dates but still no platform edge. Is there any way I can check the files to see if it is missing? Having said that, the image does appear when selecting during the setup game phase.

Routemaster,

Look in the Default track, not UK track Pack.

Many thanks for the tip on where to find the platform edges, it makes the stations look so much better now

Here's a quick shot of a signal box based on Parbold Cabin and a station building, again, based on Parbold, just figuring out how to texture in Sketchup and find the correct scaling

the station will probably be split into 1x1 sections and made so that custom stations can be made in the style of Parbold/Padgate/Default S&C MSTS etc

Finally got my head around texturing in Sketchup, pretty easy when you get the hang of it.

Here we go!! My first ever 100% scratch build model for Loco!! Not Avaliable For Download Yet!!! This will be bunged in with the rest of the stuff.

The track will be replaced with something a bit more appropriate.

Next on the list is a larger signal box built in 2 sections.

That looks really good. Can't wait for the finished product.

Working on the track now. Then I'll be considering releasing a v1.1 of the pack, with the new track, removing the sign (I plan to make a better one) and a new object.

edit
Also considering uploading this to Locomotion-Fanpage, I'm sure they'll let me upload things in English, right? :?

Yeah, they're fine with that! Great work here, I've started playing Loco again today only because of those stations :D
