    No Platform stuff yet, besides the trees.

     The shorter platforms 19 and 20 are underway.

    Wow that's one big station. It looks great. The accessway over the glass roof is a nice touch. The only thing I don't really like is the circle on the glass below the clock. I don't really know what you're doing with that piece but it looks quite odd.

    That is so awesome, Tonkso. It's just a shame I can't use it because I'm only aiming to get 1 million across a small 15 by 20 kilometre region. It'd be a great substitute for Central Station if anyone was doing a Sydney-like region, though.

    BTW, for that 4-platform station on the previous page - could you fullfill my request from a month ago to do a 9-10 tile long platform version?

    Very ornate detail.  19.gif   For whatever reason, the walls remind me of the city walls in Rome: Total War, but that could be just me.  Those are crosswalks in the front and back?  I'd dare passengers to cross those! 9.gif

    whoa that is a big station. i like the underpass road, but im curious to how the sidewalk will match up in the game. it looks fantastic, but that white checkered default sidewalk might mesh in better with the game.

    Hmm, you're forgetting one thing: Central has through platforms.

    The best way to do Central would be to split it. Thankfully this wouldn't be too hard to do, as a track pair divides the two sections.

    well not always,what you could do when making a central station, is to make it go in tunnels, as some of Oslo central station does,well infact most central stations i have seen have some parts underground. and Berlin central station,if i made it i would have to make it subway as it is entirely underground,and a few tracks are running elevated.46.gif

    So if you use your imagination a bit, there COULD be tunnels at the start of each platform on that station.2.gif

    Yeah, I didn't realise the 4 tracks on the left side were termini (or whatever the plural is) until after Tonkso uploaded it. From the map I just assumed they were through. (But I know Central still has even more through-platforms.)

    Anyway, yeah, on the split station thing: that is what I've been doing in my region. Using an adelaide-sized central station with a Sydney Central configuration.3.gif If Tonkso finishes the 4 platform station with the lengthened platform version then I'll be able to use that as the 4 through-lines.

    On average, how long does it take you to make a building?
