Based on the fact that the default lighting is on those pieces, my guess is that the highway is Maxis Highway Override, although it could be elevated RHW-4. Either way, the textures are Maarteen's (Mandelsofts) Euro textures, which last existed in NAM32, so there is a good chance it's from an older NAM version.

The ramps are just your basic A1 type off ramps, but they connect into what looks like FlexFly curves. It's hard to tell from the screenshot, but it would appear to be the old style ones, which transition in height as part of the curve. Sadly those had to be replaced by a new FlexFly system and right now the curves with height transitions have not been completed. You won't find the old ones either, since code alterations which were necessary elsewhere rendered them useless. As usual with NAM stuff, I can't give you any info regarding when they will return, sorry.

Thanks for the info!

Hey!

So after all these years of playing SC4, I've taken it upon me to really upgrade my regional rail systems in a number of regions. Now while I've found about two rail catenary plugins, I've been looking for a specific kind of catenary that I've never come across on either Simtropolis or Sc4 Devotion. I'll post some pictures down below for what I'm talking about, but I've been trying to find the old style Pennsylvania Railroad catenaries that you'd find in the American Northeast. If anyone knows of any catnaries that match what I'm looking for, could you point me in the right direction?

@frogface has made a lot of nice Middle-Eastern BATs, and they are available here on the STEX.

I'm currently looking for prop packs that contains park signs/markers similar to those in amusement parks or zoos. Just messing around on LE and thought some parks could use some.

Just an FYI, I found these older ramps.  I reinstalled the NAM fresh as I move SC4 from my Mac drive to my Windows drive and found them during the custom install process.  Score!

Nice pics!

You might try the "Can't Find It" or "BAT Request" threads.

@JamesMcGill96 You're in the right spot.  As it says up top this thread is the "Can't find it?...Ask here!" thread.  I'm not really sure what he's talking about.  If these don't exist (and I'm thinking they don't), then you might pop over to the BAT Request thread and see if someone can make them for you (also not likely).

Happy hunting!

For greater prominence, one of our moderators merged @JamesMcGill96's original "Rail Catenaries?" thread into here. *;)

For underground rail, does a freight station exist ? (the ingame one works, but nonsensical visual)

 

Also for underground rail, the NAM entranceway is an at-grade downward sloping entrance.  Does an underground rail entrance exist where a rail line enters a hill and becomes underground rail?

You can drag the rail line through the hill so the entrance and exit are created for you.

that's a traditional tunnel, what @monkeywater wants is an access for a different network, called Underground rail, which is different.

Now, I'm pretty sure that entrance doesn't exist, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to do. What I'm not so sure is if this would only entail to re-use a subway portal lot, or would need to be done by the NAM team. 

This goes a bit away from the topic of this thread, but @rsc204 will surely be capable of saying us if this can be resolved easily or else need to become a request for the NAM development cycle.

I don't know of either sorry. For the latter I too would like to see such a tunnel portal, I even started work on a model for it. Actually that's part of a larger project I have planned to expand on URail's underutilised functionality. Anyhow, I've way too much in my ToDo list to seriously get into that any time soon, but hopefully it will be a thing eventually.

As for the freight rail station, it's hard to really make a model that represents this. I guess some sort of warehouse, perhaps with ramps for vehicle traffic to load/unload would work well. Since most of the things going on would be hidden from view anyway, it just requires a little imagination. I'm sure with a little searching you could find suitable props to make such a lot.

From a modding perspective, U-Rail requires nothing special and if modded like the regular Freight Station with URail on either side of the lot would work just fine functionally.

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.

New to the NAM? Check out my tutorials on YouTube. Latest upload: How to: RHW - MHO Roundabout Interchanges. (Nov 25).

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

@redfox85 There are many manhole cover props in one of Neko's prop packs, but I can't remember in which Japanese site he had his mods...

I know there is something like that in Simgoober's Mega Prop Pack Vol. 1 called BSCON_SG_Pipe_4x4_BoxTop...

Kind regards!

iThanks, I just started using underground rail and it is by far my new favorite transport network.  I'd love to see it expanded, and am attempting to learn some modding to see if I can eventually contribute to making new pieces.

 

For anyone interested, the 2 underground rail stations I have found, the one by bripizza has 0 entry cost and a low capacity which will likely cause congestion probelms.  The one by mattb325 has an entry cost associated, so not likely to cause such.

 

In regards for the model for an underground freight station I was thinking something like a pit with rails and trains, and one of these container lifter things overtop

Hi!

@WiotbiluYou can find a mod which gets the grass from the sidewalks disappear. 

The palm trees on the sidewalk is probably an other mod, but I'm not sure which one.
