I agree with 6underground about the lighting - it does look a little too bright at the moment - but lighting is always a trade-off between looking realistic at z5 and being visible at lower zooms, so it depends what you want.

If you are going to leave the office unlit at night it might be nice to add a couple of security lights on the outside.

Looks great but I think you should put a prop of some kind on the platform so it blocks of the light that is reflected on the railing, since it stands out. then do some spot's so the balcony is dimly illuminated.

[6underground 11]

Lighting is looking so much better now, well done!! Seeing as you can't add any more props because GMAX is being a Gypo on your computers capability (ive had that myself), perhaps you could light up one or two of those trains, as though they are waiting for passengers to disemabark, or ready to terminated i don't think it would be too hard too do, just put on a simple rectangle to the size of the winows with a height of like 0.01, texture it like a train window and nitelite 0.7, should look even more superb, but as it is. looks incredible. :-D

I rendered York Road but it may need re rendering

London Wall with some roof textures, next up is nightligting ( )

 

2 things on York Road:

-i'll probably let the lights leak onto the front balcony, after all its sort of realistic isnt it

-I will probably have to get rid of the rails and do them in LE, they were proving to be a pain when rendered

Very nice but what about a median on the road to protect cars from the supports.

I'm working on a new BAT

the other's are on hold for the moment, i love batting its just the releasing that stresses me out. This one just needs some roof junk and nightlighting

[vester_DK 477]

What style is the Boston City Hall build in ? Well not my style, but the bat looks good.

How is the render of the train-station going ? Started ?
if not, add some light to a few windows, (as if some one is working late).

FF, you really do torment us poor soles sometimes, showing us wobnderful BAT creation, which we may never get to use. A real Torment I tell thee.

 

By the way the Boston Town hall looks great so far.

[jacqulina 162]

excellent work

[GaryReggae 81]

Wow...Boston City Hall, now that is a real Brutalist classic! I can't wait to have this in my cities!

[GingerBlokey 30]

Wow these buildings looks amazing. I especially like the station great lighting

[Wolf_pt 7]

The Station and the Boston City Hall are very detailed, it's perfect!

[Hordijk 18]

I love that station very much it looks excellent!!.....

[Glenni 1,447]

great new brutalist cityhall FF!!!!!

[Woko 2]

Incredible!! I'm not a big fan of brutalist buildings, but I will probably download it.

[Slowhand 0]

Amazing deatil and work on those BATs Frogface!

I am in particularly favoring Boston City Hall. I'm loving the style. Plain, but with great texture.

[Jasoncw 11,949]

cool stuff.  It looks like they are 1x1 lots with the prop hanging over, am I right?  What are they exactly (I don't see many trains where I live) they look good either way though.

[sharkbait16 0]

Very nice, can't wait to see more of this.

[6underground 11]

Gorgeous froggie, it's looking superb..

[jarnomiedema 52]

Very nice work, Frogface! I really like the trainstation at the top of the page and those electricity bars (I have no idea what they're really called) look amazing.. We have those in Holland too and somehow the Simcity rails look strange without them, since all trains run on electricity here.. Good work!

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

How will the rail electrification fit in with your pre-existing railway BATs, any problems?

[Hordijk 18]

If these are coming out it will look much better then the plain train tracks from maxis.

[frogface 354]

Sorry i've been away from batting for a while. But im just quickly updating this thread with a couple of things im planning to release soon.
The electrified railways will be released soon now ive finished the diagonal pieces, I just need to sort out a few things before release Two versions will be released.

-2 track electrification

http://www.imgcity.net/server/primary/OHLE11.jpg align=baseline>

-4track electrification

http://www.imgcity.net/server/primary/OHLE2.jpg align=baseline>

-filler lots

 

New styles are a possibility.

while lots are probably not the most streamlined method for this so far it seems the only way so sadly bridges and stations will be unelectrified. Wires too are not possible because of gradients

 

Also the sprinter mod

(credit to goaskin for the actual modding) the plan is to release this version first but then i'm planning to redo it in various real life livieries this train sees in the UK.  

These replace the track checker so they can co-exist with normal trains so you get two kinds of service.

and finally both

N/P Froggie! When you need a break, you need a break. Real life and maintaining low levels of frustration come first and foremost!

I was waiting for someone to add overhead electric wires (or OCS-Overhead Cantenary System). Light rail really isn't light rail without it!

And Boston City Hall looks awesome! I don't like brutalism, but you have done a great job on this and past projects recreating it! It is a great recreation.

I also must thank you for the awesome rail and bus stations you have released in the past. They really make unique and creative transit systems possible!
