Underground rail station

Does anyone know of an underground rail station that can be found on stex (or lex)? Preferably a not so modern one. I found which is actually perfect, but doesn't seem to work (I downloaded and installed it, but don't seem to be able to find it anywhere in the menu)..

Thanx in advance :)

Have you tried searching all the way through the Misc. Transport menu? I've just downloaded it and they appear fine, although both lots are labeled as bus stops and one of them has a tree as its icon.

 

UPDATE: Actually perhaps they are not there, they won't be unless you have RTMT installed because the Building exemplar is linked to those from RTMT, hence they show as bus stops incorrectly and other problems besides. Therefore you either need to install RTMT otherwise you could edit them to fix the problems if you are able to use the Reader.

 

You might also want to look at the only U-Rail lot I knew of until reading your post, although it's a very big station compared to these simple 1x1 lots.


Head over to my Lot and Mod Shack to keep abreast of my latest developments.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

p.s. - I'm MGB over on SC4D and a member of the NAM team.

    That's great advice, I'll try it this afternoon!

    I have RTMT installed, but I never thought of the possibility of them showing in the menu like something other than what they are :)  

    There is another 1x1 station on lex, but it's too modern for what I'm aiming for..

     

    Thanks!

    I was mucking around with them for a little while (also been looking for U-Rail stuff like this) every item in SC4 calls other items by the use of IIDs, but for simplicities sake think of them as telephone numbers. Because the RTMT bus stops were used as a template for these lots and these numbers were not changed, it was redirecting itself to the RTMT information when it shouldn't, actually the correct information is all there, but the game ignores it because the re-directs are in place to call up the information from RTMT (this also stops the lots from appearing at all unless RTMT is installed and it cannot reference the information).

     

    Other than this small problem, the modding is not too bad at all, so I'm going to make use of the Building Exemplar (template) myself and create a few U-Rail lots from it, keep an eye on the STEX in the near future :).

    That's great, looking forward to it!

    But for now, regarding these stations, I found them in the misc. transport menu, however I'm not able to choose them (they appear grey). I've even built the RTMT construction lot, I thought this would activate them maybe, like it activates the RTMT  lots, but it didn't. Any advice?
