Custom train stations

[Persephone 5]

Hi, I purchased SimCity 4 Deluxe when it was released, and we used to use Gmax, and some other programes and were able to make our own lots... a few people had made some 'on track' train stations... yeas later EA took down the share site. Ive just downloaded the game, to play again, and I wonder if anyone knows where to get similar train stations, where the stations are a part of the track and not sitting next to it... ?

Hiya @Persephone, I believe you could get more better answers about this if you post it in this thread:

I have never been to Maxis's share site, but i looked through my comp and there were some 'on track' train stations, E.g.

And if you prefer some pretty stations, I thought you could reLot it to "on track" (Transit Enabled) with SC4TOOL and Lot Editor, 

I hope these help.

Sincerely,

-- Raymond

Oh great! yea i remember lot editor - there used to be a huge scaling problem back in the day, I made bus stops and an AFL stadium.. nothing like when GMV used to win the comps... thank you! the reason is that the track lots used to be fantastic at cash flow.... I'll try the athenian temple one you have supplied thank you very much - ive missed this game a lot.

If you've been away this long, boy are you in for a surprise, because there are many, many stations now available with all sorts of different configurations. Literally too many to list, so thankfully someone already compiled one . Bear in mind, even that list is 12 years old, but new creations have slowed somewhat in the last 5-6 years.

If that was the case, it's because they were poorly modded. Assuming you are using a relatively recent version of NAM, along with well modded stations, you will not find them as cash generators in the sense of some sort of cheat-lot. Hint, if you want to do that, give sims only a few major routes between homes and jobs and place toll booths on them, 'cha-thing'.
