You can decompile the stations with Loco Tool and you will see the graphics which stations are made - it should be easy to create new looks. But I miss the possibility to create buildings for railway stations, this seems me to be impossible...

i'm fairly sure there's 4 or 5 different stations in the game. still, new stations would be cool.

offcourse new stations must be added to the game, those standard stations are getting boired after a while, and making new ones keeping the fun in the game.
That's my opinnion.

And because they are in pieces you can create your own station style :P

e.g. 2 lines with a dome on it and the others witchout a roof or something. (You know the drill :P)

just a question but would it be possible for someone to make a terminus station piece. That way we could build a terminus station like the ones in real cities around the world.

ofcourse a plus is that stations have only 4 angles. so it's less sprites, much less sprites to render.

With a few tweaks to the station data files, they could be placed on diagonal track. Unfortunately, there are some problems with those.

I don't remember who discovered this though, and I haven't looked into the station file myself.

out of the top of my head i can see a few problems with diagnal stations, ie to large; if u have track side by side station covers a track, cost about 1.5 times more then normal
