That's not too bad, sizewise, imho. Maybe it'd look even more natural with the TTRS?

It's not TTD-ish style, but it's awesome.

Here's an idea: you could learn to code!

Red*Star · Post by **Red*Star** » 17 Sep 2006 19:39

It's still WIP, so it can't be coded

Next Sunday evening version upcoming, now with more... translucency

- and a graphic from the "original" for comparison purposes...

lifeblood · Post by **lifeblood** » 17 Sep 2006 19:44

Wow, just wow. This is getting more impressive as you work on it. I think that if the blue tinge of the windows was changed to the purpleish-grey of the original TTD variety, it might look a little closer to the ingame graphics.

this looks highly amazing! great work!

didn't i tell you transparency would work even better?

Thanks for the nice words from all of you.

@asthat: Yes, you did, but you probably didn't know that it would look better /that/ much

Here I've made something "small", before continuing work on the Lehrter station. Without the forecourts and made shorter it can be used as a secondary inner-city station in a metropolis (I'm thinking of S-Bahn or something), with the lower-level forecourts it looks a little bit like the "JENA Paradiesbahnhof", the city where I live(d) in.

I'm missing the nice, small, old station building. Did they knock it down while reconstructing the station? (haven't been there for a while)
I kinda liked the old station with single platform in the middle...

Greetings from further down the river...

Red*Star · Post by **Red*Star** » 20 Sep 2006 20:42

No, it's still there. It's just not longer "the" Paradiesbahnhof... IIRC, now there is an imbiss or a restaurant inside.

I've omitted the station building because I considered to make just a "modern stations set", and this little house would not fit into the set.
If you want it nevertheless... maybe I can do something for you... would be a challenge to reproduce it for TTD

... but just perhaps.

btw: You really also live in a city at the Saale? The world seems to be very small...

VIPStephan · Post by **VIPStephan** » 20 Sep 2006 20:52

Not only a city at the Saale, the biggest city along the river (namely Halle). And I actually studied in Weimar and had a girlfriend in Jena for half a year.

(Sorry, Raichase, for being off topic...)

Red*Star · Post by **Red*Star** » 20 Sep 2006 22:50

Funny, via Halle my trains always go when I'm travelling home... yet I've seen only the train station of Halle, unfortunately not the city itself

Uwe · Post by **Uwe** » 21 Sep 2006 08:02

Well, I've lived there for quite some time as well, and I must say the train station is a rather beautiful one (or better, it has become one in the last few years). Any chance of seeing some other German stations in a set some day?

VIPStephan · Post by **VIPStephan** » 21 Sep 2006 09:20

Yeah, I've thought about drawing the main stations of Halle, Leipzig, Dresden, etc. for some time but I haven't had the time yet, and based on my little drawing experience I will probably need a lot of time to get it as good as for example the Canadian stations.
But maybe some time in future I'll come up with something.

michael blunck · Post by **michael blunck** » 21 Sep 2006 09:45

Having available Callback 30 for stations as well would be very helpful to have elevated tracks, like e.g.

> Dresden

or - most famous - Berlin Friedrichstrasse.

Other than that, there´s not much use in having that kind of stations.

well, you could build it on slopes, and then below have the station building, creating the effect as in Red*Star's post.
I do that quite often, actually.
