About This File

4x8 lot

Catania Centrale is the main railway station of the Italian city of Catania, in Sicily. Along with Palermo Centrale, Messina Centrale and Syracuse it is one of the most important stations of its region. It is managed by the Ferrovie dello Stato, the national rail company of Italy.

The station was inaugurated on 24 June 1866. One century later it was upgraded and renewed due to the electrification of the Messina-Catania line.

Catania Centrale is located close to the Port of Catania and by the sea. It has a railway depot and a link to the port. The station building has two floors and a portico and is protected by the national cultural heritage.

The station is electrified and served by regional trains, by a metro line and by the Circumetnea railway. For long-distance transport there are InterCity and Express trains to Rome, Turin, Milan and Venice, linking it also with Genoa, Naples, Bologna, Florence, Pisa and other cities.

How's it going Ray?  Certainly i would be talking of how many tiles does the building cover?  (i feel like this is sort of a question you should follow without clarification being a content creator, but perhaps there is a language barrier going on  --------  and so there may be if you're from Italy ;) )
So, to put it in a more familiar way:  Cos'è l'impronta dell'edificio:)

Hi Robert! I know what footprint means but i don't knew that it is also used to indicate the tiles, in italian we don't use "impronta" :D
However, this station is 4x8, and thanks to this your advise I added the footprint informations in every model I uploaded.

P.S. You're the first person that asked me the model footprint :bunny:

"Footprint" is more a proper architectural term in English for the area a building takes up on the ground (and could include extremities like the tracks in this lot), while "tile" is a term most often used in SimCity talk for individual 16m x 16m squares  (which has the ambiguity of also being used for individual cities in a region ;) )

Thanks for clarifying, that's a good size, actually.
