Large Functional Freight Yard  1.0

About This File

Here is the new large freight yard. Complete functionality added:

Trains can pass through it and it will hook up to surrounding rail.

Will still function as the basic freight yard. I did not mod the capacity though. The Freight car props will randomize when originally placed but will not change after that.

 

UDI will pass through also.

 

Many thanks to all that have worked on this, If your name isn't included in the readme please let me know and I will promptly add it.

 

Gizmo's Website has changed, here is the new link:

http://gizmo.lunarpages.com/trainprops.htm

I got the boxes also but there is a strange thing if I installed the yard in a new region I get the boxes only a few weeks (sims times) after I put in the lot.; But if I used the lot in a region where the yard is already corrupted with the boxes I get them immediately

Ok, there seems to be some trouble with either installing the props or with them in-game. If you have any insights or problems please view this thread: https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=41589 I will post more detailed instructions there.

This is quite possibly the coolest lot I've ever seen. I have been waiting for a functional train-yard - a REAL one, for a long time. However, trains usually carry bulk stuff...so add a crane or grain elevator

Great Lot but there is one problem. It is not noticed for UDI if you want to use the fright train or steam engine train. Other then that, great lot with great realism. I'll rate it a 10 ( UDI is not a big priority. Christopher

dowloaded yesterday, but have a problem. when i view the trainprops from the website, it lists different sets. i picked the maxis one because it made sense, i have rail yard, but no trains are parked like in the picture. did i do something wrong and which is the right set to use. i'm so confused.

I'll need to update this lot now that Gizmo has changed the train car props downloads; I'll try and do this asap.

Even though this was originally created in the dark ages of train modding, it remains the only train lot that is fully-functional and allows for freight, passenger, and UDI pass-thru. Gizmo props were all messed up, but that's because i'm also running his newest prop pack

if you do an update to the lot for the gizmo props, how about creating a transit-enabled freight truck loading/unloading area on this lot?

This is very good indeed! Even works on my Mac without the strange capacity bug which seems to effect a lot of the rail mods on the "minority platform".
