*** UPDATED: Aug 12, 2006 ***

This pack contains Passenger Rail Station lots, with specially made and modded BATs, so as to become semitransparent, ie allow the lot textures, props and automata in the interior to show through. For example, the rail-track textures in the pics are not modelled, instead they are the lot's texture, and of course the train, people and the kinetic sculpture are visible. The pack contains 3 lots, A Large Station, a Small Station and A Train Stop, ie a small station placeable directly on track, thus requiring no additional space. Of course, this kind of station does not offer parking facilities, so it can only serve the buildings within walking distance from the station. The lots use prop families, so you will get a slightly different prop combination every time you plop them. The stations are also specially modded, resulting in the following features:
- They all allow both passenger and freight trains through traffic.
- They do not perform traffic conversions from and to the tracks touching the station (a problem common to other rly station lots), only from and to the tracks entering the station.
- The through traffic paths/arrows appear as straight and continous lines instead of interrupted ones.
- And they should work on the Mac! (get FileJuicer to extract them)

*Aug12 2006 Update: Nothing important, just added some few props (phonebooths, newspapers), they are otherwise the same.

Dependencies:
