I know there have been similar (yet different) topics here and elsewhere, but what can I say? I'm a fan of trains. Note: it's not necessary to show both (although you are certainly welcome to if you have them to show)
Here are some of mine:
A daily commuter route: the trains are short and realtively frequent

I think this is the only place so far that I've actually used GLR (though I'm starting a new region that will probably us it a lot). And it comes out on the other side of a canal as an Elevated section, so it isn't really GLR at all. ::)
These photos are from the rail town of Leakesville in the New Mississippi Region. This yard is situation at a junction between a major north-south and east-west line, at the foot of a high pass.

At the northern end of the yard is the round house and an industrial spur.
Stay tuned for GLR, EL-Rail, and some passenger terminals later today!
threestooges: That GLR looks fantastic! I love it when railroads run along side the road. It looks like a place I wouldn't mind visiting one day! That's also a very nicely decorated rail bridge. Nice work!
bwatterud: Nice sunken rails!...or is that the same line? I like the second one, just because it looks a bit more orderly and pleasing to the eye (but that's just me). They both look great, and it looks like you put a lot of thought into both of them.
Ahh...the railroads in my town don't get much love from me, so I don't have any specialized lines or anything...but I'll post up some pictures where the rails are at least part of the main focus:

Great pics so far everyone. I really think that rail travel is something that is overlooked in (at least) American society. It's good to see that it is being kept alive.
-Bwatterud: nice pics. The glr shot is very nice. It's a very clean looking track.
-BigSlark: Nice railyard, but I would hate to be a bus driver trying to get across all of those rail crossings (stop, check, drive, stop, check, drive, stop... etc). It's all well done.
-Masochist: That first shot at sunset (or possibly sunrise) is great. It really gives the feel of elevated rail networks I have seen and how they weave in and amond the buildings... a very well done shot.
I hope to see more. Everyone has shown some good stuff so far.

You may have hear that there was a huge fire on the Southern Pacific lines last week? I live about 6 blocks away from the fire site. American rail is alive, I hear it's "heart" beat as they pound in the supports for the new trestles, night and day
Train Fire (http://www.kcra.com/news/11265140/detail.html)
Wow, I can't believe I didn't hear about that. I remember driving (well, my parents were driving then) alongside those tracks. It's good to hear no one was hurt, but I hope you get some good sleep soon (my school is just up the hill from a construction site and boy do they start early with those pile drivers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pile)). Also, when I said rail travel was overlooked, I was referring to the decline in passenger travel from its heyday back before cars took over as the primary form of transportation. Freight is still a major part of American commerce. Someone in the business actually told me that most goods have been on a train for at least some part of their trip to the store (especially with the rise of intermodal trailer containers). Thanks for bringing the fire to my attention, and I hope you would be willing to show some of your pics if you happen to have some.
Last post on March 29th in such a great threat.
I like your railways, especially those bridge over the river or the elevated rail. :thumbsup:
In most of my cities you can cross the tracks by car only over bridges, cause the high usage of them. It`s too dangerous for the driver and a sim don't want to stay in a traffic jam all the time :D
But I have some railroad crossings in my cities, too. They are on suburb streets, with low traffic capacity and on streets were nobody needs a bridge, like on farmland :

I like the railroad crossing sign, it looks better than this american sign with the large gate. It isn't a TE_Lot as well, but a 21-Network-Lot :)
You see much crossing of this in western Germany, in the east the used other signs :)

-nardo: This seems to be a thread perfect for you; and you have not missed your mark at all. You always seem to raise the bar on rail realism in the game (and your tutorial is quite useful too), but the signal arms are a great new touch themselves. Always good to see what you come up with.

Frankie, that rail bridge is very well done. I've seen canal pieces used for bridges, but the kand buffer you added really adds a nice look/reaism to it. The double and tripled engines look great too.
Frankie,
Great photos, I like what you've done. I STILL want to know what rail side mod you've invented and how do you have MU'ed locomotives? Are those plopped static trains or is there a secret that I've missed out on?

Well, I plop my railroads (you read right...plop). I don't know how to make stuff appear next to the dragged network so I just made a whole system of lots. I have lots ranging from regular rail, to signals, control boxes, everything. As for the MU'ed locos, I made one lot with the locomotives on it, and put the last engine near the end of the lot, I then made several consists so that they are interchangeable. I'm not using a rail side mod though, they are PEG's mountain theme road sections with railroad overlays. (I might just upload these...)
That outta clear things up :thumbsup:

Well that explains a lot. I thought the dirt looked different. If that was actually made into a railside mod, then that would just be spectacular.
Lars (praiodan): GLR avenues are probably one of the better additions to the NAM (although it looks like it has caused a bit of an accident just south of the glr station). That pic is very well done (and if I'm not mistaken, I saw a different angle of it in the pic competition thread). This new addition should provide many more options for the intra city transit network.
That explains alot of why your flatbed cars are so detailed frankie :P

It's part of the HSRP (High Speed Rail Project), which re-skins the monorail network, and the original designer reskinned the bridge as well.'
And great shot Mulefisk, that bridge was definitely made to go across deep gorge.

The Freight Station is Silentbreaker's Rural Freight Station (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=3989) as far as I remember the first TE freight station ever on the STEX but definately the first TE freight station ever I used (and I still use it!)

It is part of the High speed rail reskin of the monorail. Warrior is working on it so it's a separate network.

Great stuff guys. I'll throw one into the fray - in this one the rail isn't the main focus, but it is an important part of the picture.

You have to love that rural rail. The trees are a nice touch, but I would almost expect to see some on the other side of the tracks too (but then again, things like that occur in rl too). It's a simple pic, and that's part of what makes it so interesting.

Hi Bernhard ,
I wanted to comment not only this picture but the one currently in competition as well ( but it's a personal choice to do not participate to this competition in anyway - too subjective - ) . Everything looks so natural and we know at the same time that it is so elaborated ... this is the definition of "Brilliant work" . :thumbsup: &apls &apls &apls
As a great train fan ( but that's too much work for me with SC4 , have already so much to do ...) , I've visited recently websites about Microsoft Train Simulator and Add-ons , don't know if you know/play that game , if not , you should have a look . ;)
Thanks for all the compliments! I must confess I am still a bit shocked that THAT pic got not a single vote in the second round ... but oh well, time goes on ...
@Badsim: Only a little bit. I do have MSTS plus some commercial Addons and freeware downloads (the latter I couldn't install though ... :'( )but I never went into it very deep - a question of time ... My favorite addons are German railways between 1960 and 1980 btw (the more steam the better ... ;D )
And well, you are right: the more natural it shall look the more you need to elaborate it. It took hours only to get the dam and the bridge over the PEG's kanal (a kanalized river btw) in the right shape ...
For those who haven't look into the competition by now here is my current pic:

It's in the third round but I don't believe that it's going to enter the HoF - the other pic is too much beach and sun and holiday I think ...
Anyway:
Have Fun!

It's very nice you decided to show some pictures from your excellent MD (CJ? ;)) here :thumbsup:
Everything looks very good, but my favourites are little but unusual details - for example the pedestrian underpass under the GLR line and pedestrian bridge over the canal (both on the second picture)
The GLR station on the third pic is placed perfectly, also it's surrounding is very nice
And of course your industrial shots are one of the best in this category :thumbsup:

Bernhard :thumbsup:
Maybe I'm not a rail maniac, but I had a lot of Piko rail stuff when I was a boy :D
And now I like building rails in sc4 very much!
These catenaries and new signals are a great addition, they increased realism of rail areas a lot :)
I have two questions:
1. I understand you had to put catenaries relatively close one to another (you have a small rail station). But what you think (as a rail specialist): which distance between catenaries would you suggest - on the single rail line and on the station (more lines, wide catenaries)?
2. Would it be possible to add catenaries and signals as props to the large railyard set (This one with multiple lanes and many train props)? :)
My friend, you don't need to be a maniac to enjoy a good railway design. Which isn't that difficult as the rules for the signals aren't that complicated.
1) This is a very good question. IRL I would estimate the distance to 30-50 m - small catenaries with smaller distances than with the large poles for 5 tracks etc. It is also a question of speed - the higher the speed the higher the forces on the wires and therefor the catenaries.
Right at the Moment I use 1 tile orthogonally and no tile diagonally to be compatible with the catenary mod (still in beta, will be available for download when it will be ready). But a two tile orthogonally and 1 tile diagonally fits, too, actually I used this distance before I began to test the catenary mod.
2) Definatively yes. In order to place those signals at the right places especially on large stations and railyards a lot of LE works is necessary therefor all the signals will be available as props - orthogonally with and without offset and diagonally (only without offset)
Anyway if I find the time I am going to do a large chapter for this topics in my "Thoughts" - thread ... ;)
Thank you Bernhard!
I supposed you was preparing something interesting for rails, I think if you will release these lots and props and if we will start to use them, our rail networks will completely change and all we have built earlier will look empty and ugly for us :)
I think your thread will be very interesting, please find some time to make it! :thumbsup:

Wow! Those rail pics are brilliant MIncroabl! &apls
@MIncroabl:
Nice variety of engines you got there! And nothing to nag on your railway layout (including finishing the retaining walls in time!)
Just for curiosity: Which catenaries are you using? They are neither SFBT nor frogface!
Bernhard :thumbsup:
awesome pictures MIncroabl and The_Hutt
i really love the overpasses :thumbsup:
mauricio.
Mincroabl... How!?
That is incredible. Very good railbed. Is this something you're making?
is the wide dirt base something your working on part of your "modular creation" or is it photoshopped?
Thanks for your lovely comments!
The railbeds and catenaries are of my own design. I created them back in the day when the only available catenaries were the Frogface ones and I needed more sophisticated props than they were. The railbeds are just custom textures on lots mixed with a modified version of PEG's alternate railway set.
Release? You must, you showed something amazing so surely you weren't planning on keeping it to yourself?
You so have to release those lots. ::)
Great work, that's for sure!
Yes, wonderful work there, @ all!!! Fantastic pictures, too! :thumbsup:

Sorry, but I think I'm going to keep these to myself. It's not that I like to be mean, but some of these lots (especially the long curve ones) are quite tricky to use. Even I have to think twice sometimes how to use them! Many times I also have to create new lots for different rail configurations, as they are quite picky.
I really don't show my rail systems as much as I should. Oh well. Have a look at this one:

Yoman - fantastic idea! The Hiroshima station is excellent and it looks very interesting as a terminus! &apls
indeed thats an ace idea, you should maybe try and release it, (ie, me wants :D)
Joe
i want too
Not sure about a release, you would need more prop packs than imaginable :P I can tell you what part I BATed. The piece right behind the platforms and in front of the station. The big box. Took about 5 minutes (including render, which was 4.55 minutes of it). And uses a maxis texture.
The trees are CPs and Jeronij's.
The cantenaries are SFBTs
Cars are Glenni's
Trains are converted (by emilin) swamper trains and the ones that come with the station.
Station is by Nob (and Platforms and some trains).
And just basically have every BSC prop pack made and you can make it yourself :thumbsup: Thats half the fun!
That terminus is wonderful, Yoman! Great work on the LE! :thumbsup:
I played a bit with a set of embankment lots I am designing at the moment with the electric signals from royal that are in beta at the Moment.

There have been some great pics in this thread recently, but it's been a while since I last posted one. As I am currently working on a bridge in my BAT thread, and it is to a point that it at least looks decent, I thought I'd post it here and perhaps get some feedback for it.

Don't worry, personally I look at every your new creation, unfortunaltely the RL is too demanding lately ::)
Threestoges: very nice structure, I suppose it will be rather good for smaller rail bridges. It would be good to have at least a bit of foundation on both ends (the steel structure should be supported by something), even if you don't provide any pylons.
It would be interesting to see this brideg from a bigger distance, at this moment the structure looks a bit too thick, it is always nice to see a train crossing the bridge :)
Adam
That's an amazing bridge; I can't wait till it's available. However, I too must agree with Ennedi--it needs some supports on the bottom edges, like this:

Ooooh nice, like the change in terrain height, over a bridge, under a tunnel and round a corner. Plenty of rural roads like that, that I can picture.
Nice!
EDIT: Bernhard, I have a train/GLR pic I think you'd like, but I'll let you bask in the glory of your pic for a while longer ;)
The only thing I would comment on is the small little patch of grass just before the rail bridge. Also where did you get the bridge itself? It looks good. In fact, the whole picture is really well done. Delightfully rural.
@paroch: Hey, show the pic, I am curious and always a sucker for good railway pics ;)
@Threestooges: Thanks!
The bridge is jaystimson's Railway Trestle over Road (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=15259), there is also a Railway Trestle over Avenue (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=14918) and a Railway Trestle over Highway (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=14883). I like to use them as bridges over roads as well as little creeeks in rural surrounding.
They are a bit tricky to plop: You have to plop the bridge first on the railway and then plop the slope pieces to close the connection. The T-Onslope doesn't work unfortunately that is why you see the green spot. Only workaround is Peg's Alternative Railway texture or a mod that completely remove the textures under the rail.

EDIT: I'd like to add some pedestrians milling about on the ped mall plaza. Do you know of a mod/lot that would do this?
I have been there only once and that must have been at least 15 years ago ... what a shame, I like Amsterdam and I think you caught the atmosphere! &apls :thumbsdown:
About pedestrian spawining tiles, well, I honestly don't know. I think cogeo made some lots of this kind for rail and road, maybe you asked him?
@threestooges: Ooooops - I totally forgot to comment your bridge ... :-[
It's a wooden one, isn't it? Not bad, not bad at all but as Adam and Toicus already stated it needs some support - at least at the supports the way Toicus showed. It shouldn't span too much, too, wood is not steel and sensitive to tensions.
Stone supports would be nice and you should think about a (wooden or stone) pillar.
Great pics of the rails Bernhard & Paul just perfect!!! I would show my rail stuff but its a major weakness to what Ive seen here lately... What I think about Matt's pic its supposed to be weight suspension and there are still some old time bridges like that around, Usaly found nowadays on defunct rail lines...
Very nice pictures everyone :thumbsup:
@Paroch, I really like how the GLR station is adjacent to the rail station. Very nice &apls
Pat is right about the bridge design (though I am planning to add some footings at the ends) and there are pillars, just for longer spans. The way I understand the physics behind the bridge design (and please correct me if I am wrong) the weight from the train on the tracks pushes down on the bottom beams. The force is transferred to the vertical metal bars which then transfers the force to the top beams which then enters the crossed beams and works to push the bridge further into the sides of the gap. However, footings would be very useful (visually and otherwise).
-Paul: nice work with the station combinations. As far as I know the NAM puzzle pieces produce people (though I think the quantity has been toned down a bit) but if I recall, visual settings require a slightly closer zoom to see them which might make that pic a bit difficult. Great job though.
-Bernhard: It is wood indeed. the bridge I modelled it from didn't have supports and it was fairly long. However, I have made supports for the bridge. Its just that the distance to be covered by the bridge puts it just outside the range of a pillar piece (I'll look into changing that). While wood doesn't necessarily have much flexibility, this has been a surprisingly sturdy bridge (but again, supports and footings are in the works).
-Pat: Please don't be intimidated. The more that is shown, the better. To rephrase a quote: the only bad picture is the one not shown. If you're looking for ways to improve technique, you're sure to get some good advice here (I mean look at what I've received so far for my bridge...thanks again to everyone who's commented on it, it's really helpful).
Well that was surprisingly long, but I'll try to make up for that with a revised bridge pic sometime soon.
-Matt
How about Rail to GLR? NAM makes it possible. Rail and GLR not only can connect, but it seems to have transfers w/o disapearing automatta. Not pictured but freight will go over too. Hopefully RAM can connect highspeed/mono to either one as well. Anyon else try this?
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fjrp4sc4.googlepages.com%2Frailtoglr.jpg&hash=08daaca29853ad9a2a0f5e2deb990f20d1b3833a)
Now that is a new one. You just attached puzzle pieces of both transit types? Have you checked to see if commuters actually use it or if it is just a visual thing? Either way, well done. Good experimentation.
Actually, that's old stuff. ;) Tropod once created a rail/el-rail connector by using a Japanese ramp model, and that was in 2005 or so, way before anyone thought of GLR. There are still paths for rail, so the automata can use el-rail/glr tracks as well, but I wouldn't recommend this setup, since rail passengers can't use el-rail/GLR stations, obviously.
Actually Andreas this is not uncommon in the real world. Just last weekend, while there were engineering works going on in London the trains were using the Tube tracks (at least where they were overground) to get around the works.
Are you saying that the GLR/ELrail paths are the same paths as the normal rail?
@ andreas If it just was to get from one place to another without stopping, this isn't a problem right? I had only planned connection in my city for just what you said, to get rail to connect to el-rail over road to pass through dense areas of the city, so I have a double decker network, versus the rail puzzle piece system. I thought it would be okay after blahdy's car to subway connections via big dig, so why not substitue el-rail for this?
@Diggis: I don't know enough about paths and such, so I can't tell more about the inner workings, but I would assume that such a setup can confuse the pathfinding engine, and this is not exactly something that we would want.
I do know that there are places in the world where rail and light rail share the same tracks; actually, there is one system not very far from here, in Karlsruhe, Germany, where the regional S-Bahn turns into a tram within Karlsruhe.
For something slightly different, most subway lines in Tokyo have direct-thru services with regional lines, up to a certain station, although the subway lines are not third-rail-powered, but have overhead power lines.

Edit:
This is one of the transition in Karlsruhe where tramway becomes railway and vice versa. The Tramway section ends at the signal. The red motorcar in the background is a Regio Runner of the Deutsche Bahn, the yellow and white motorcars in the foreground are tramways of the AVG/VBK, the local railway company that runs the tramway network in Karlsruhe as well as a lot of metro lines with together more than 600 km length!

Awesome pic there Tochius! The only suggestion I could make would be to put the railway track texture under the train too.

Cool pic, how did you get the single track?

Looks like photoshop, as the track fades away underneath the train.
Actually, they used transparent lots with just the overlays of single tracks on them. The "fading" is caused by the shadow plane that is attached to each of the engine automata prop models.
-Swamper
Thanks, where can you get the overlays for it, are they publicly available?
Warrior,
The textures are available from North Country Dude's Railway Textures Mega Pack.
-Swamper
Everything explained by the folks was true. The automata props made that weird shadow that got rid of the tracks too much (you can kinda see them peeking through) so I'm probably going to replace them with the new peg railfleet FT engines soon. They're just lots, so they're non functional (tho I do have transition to rail pieces). And that's basically it.
Using pegs engines instead:

Jesus those engines look gigantic, a bit oversized if you ask me, props fault, not yours though, great scene you've created again.
The reason for those engines looking so large, is because the game's automata are smaller then Pegasus made the props.
To quote:
Quote from: PegasusAs the game automata trains are considerably under scaled, these props are larger... and scaled to look more appropriate on lots with properly scaled structures, vehicles, peeps and other props.
So there you have it: Sim City is not the game for you if you want realistic scaling. :D
But nice pictures, in any case.
I redid some old maps' railway stations recently - interested in a teaser (might come in Urland ... soon! ;) )

I'm aware of that, and the automata is under scaled, but I still think PEG's engines are still over scaled, I like the scale of Jestarr's train props, seems right in the middle and perfect.
Nice work krbe. I haven't seen a sunken station like that for a while. The rail underpass itself looks really good and I hope you show another pic of the area when it's developed.
Time for another station (or rather three). I'm basing my region on Copenhagen, though it's far from an accurate recreation. But you'll be able to spot some familiar areas; one of them is Flintholm Station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flintholm_station). My version doesn't look anywhere near the original though:

Bernhard :thumbsup:
Very nice Nardo. I love the use of the diagonal filler pieces and the trees.
krbe: nice work, but to repeat Nardo's statement regarding passenger switching, did you use the NAM grass ped mall piece to get people up the hill, or is it just an "implied" transition?
Bernhard: Nice work with the diagonal rail there. A very seem-less look. Out of curiousity, what is that little building right by the roundabout (with the green/white awning etc)? Good work on the new pic.
-Matt
@threestooges: Thanks Matt! Hopefully I can release these lots some day ... they are (way!) more than 100 altogether ...
That building are the Organic Hawkers I think - they are a reward of the BSC Farms but I couldn't find the link - neither on the LEX nor on the STEX but I think Barbie should know it.
It works as a small hospital and is very nice for small urban communities
Matt, Bernhard; All were* connected by by roads and buses, and when we know how crazy these Sims are when it comes to buses, it did work to some extent...
* I redid the entire area, moved all stations closer and connected them with pedmalls/bridges.
The layout looks like this, where X is the ped-bridges to the upper-level station. The ||| denotes an avenue running under the metro line and upper-level S-train line. The P's denote the place in front of the lower level S-train station and the Metro station.

Yes, that's a mainline turning

In regard to Allan_kuan's post, I'm actually interning at a place not too far from there. I have yet to see a train on those tracks, but it's very interesting when you are on that street and want to turn left (the turn lane is right on the track) I always keep looking back into the mirror expecting to see something. Zaphod's clip was pretty funny (and yet, not surprising).
I think it'd be no more, and frankly I think less, annoying than living on the eL in Chicago.. i had a friend who lived about 150 yds from a mainline track pair.. he didn't even notice when it passed unless someone mentioned it.. acclimatization is amazing.. ;)

America's last Interurban!
I've gotta get down and ride on it before they bi-pass Michigan City.... though, if they haven't done it for 100 years (the line just turned 100 this week), then I'm not sure why they'd do it now...!)
And to think that electric interurban trains used to be the norm, not the exception. I used to live in Wheaton, IL, where the shops of the Chicago, Aurora & Elgin were and now live in Highwood, where the Chicago, Milwauke and North Shore shops were.
With the current fuel crisis, these would be THE way to go... but they've been gone for 50 years.

It all comes down to the train's mouth being really loud. I don't even live by one, but boy can we hear hear it past the community line, versus no warning when it speeds across the gates when your right there. This is past all the other residents, and this is a built up area I'm talking about when you can hear it.

I have to say, that you're really a master of creating realistic railways in SC4! :thumbsup:
And one question: The middle part of the viaduct doesn't have the ordinary NAM pylon. What mod is it? ()what()
Thanks ... &blush
The pylon as well as the texture on the railway tracks under the NAM Bridge are Buddybud's props from his famous bridge skins that I added to the car resp. loco track lots in the LE.

No. There is nothing ordinary about this rail road scene, if you look closer at it.
Look closely at the sides of each end where the line hits land after it crosses the water. Notice anything?

But before:
@apeguy: The overall layout is not bad but now the big BUT... is coming
you really should do something about your (ab-)use of level crossing. Your Flag showss Great Britain so you should know the video about those idiots who just pass the crossings before the train (and loose their shoes)?: If not go to the tutorial section and look for my Thought - thread there.
And then eliminate thelevel crossings in that layout ;)
An example for a good crossing is here:

I think this is the only place so far that I've actually used GLR (though I'm starting a new region that will probably us it a lot). And it comes out on the other side of a canal as an Elevated section, so it isn't really GLR at all. ::)

Wow! Beautiful pictures everyone got. They all give me much needed inspiration for my future developments :)
Bought the game a couple of years ago but was to young to really put any real effort into my cities and I created mostly big chunks of zones and hoped for the best. But now I installed it again a week ago and find it very enjoyable to sit down for an hour or so just fine tuning a particular area of my much smaller and more personal cities.
Well enough with that. Here is a small scene a enjoyed making and I just love watching the morning freight trains passing through here. Nothing special really but I thought I would share it and maybe get some pointers on how to improve my work :)

The green water is a nice twist from the classic blue shade so many people use, and it gives a very different feeling and vibe to the image. I always think of SC4 as a canvas, and you need to paint or gorgeous picture of whatever is on your mind, and I can tell that this is what you did here. The blue and green tones in the image really give off a certain sense. I think using a culvert is much more realistic than putting a bridge over that small stream. I doubt whoever built the rails would've put money into such a tiny bridge.
Great image, and I hope to see more from you!
I agree with Albus. It's a very thought through and detailed image.
It has hardly any reference to the original pupose of the game, but who cares about that! ;D
And welcome to our community. I am sure you will be an inspiration to a lot of us.
Or is this the only reasonable image you can show us....? $%Grinno$%

Nice work Jack!
And then: I see it was your second post, so I wish you, on behalf of the community, a warm welcome on SC4D!
And please, show us more if you like....
Thanks for the warm welcome FrankU. I'll try and post some more pics very soon.
leonholm: That picture is so realistic. Looking at it makes me want more of such stuff. I'm with Franku and Albus of Garaway... Perhaps you can post a few more ;D

I want to create a train.
How I do ?
What program use.
I also have a question ;D
I've installed the 'No Rail Dirt' Mod but I still get rail dirt underneath the tracks. Can anyone help me fix this?
Thanks!

Airjack_dude, these (I suppose, your pic doesn't show up) are NOB's walls, altered a bit by myself. You've got link here: http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=414.msg198120#msg198120 .

Thanks a million Gwail. I'm gonna download 'em right away.
BTW, are there any tutorials on how to modify pictures to give them this rusty look (Hint! Hint!! Hint!!!...lol ;D), you know for lost souls like me %confuso that are not so good with photoshop???
I'm gonna try my hand at this and probably look for some pointers on the web as well.
Take care.

Sorry airjack_dude, missed your edit.
It's funny, first of all I've used Photoshop's built-in action called "sepia tonight". Next I've altered it in a way I wanted (layer opacity mostly - I didn't want to have full sepia, left colors a bit), added the old paper texture (found with google graphics) as overlay (modified, too). That's 70% of effect.
There is only some tweaks left, one of them is masked dark layer for vignette and some additional layers for soften - it's not necessary, a matter of private preferrences, as all mentioned above layer alterings or the black-white border.
Good luck ;)!

@Kenny: Your work looks great! :thumbsup:
I read plunderer's thread on his catenaries mod thread (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=6316.0). He was looking at the possibility to use SFBT props, but it seems like the project is now completed using ehbk2006's instead (which, by all means, look great too). Still, I'm a huge fan of SFBT's catenaries, and would love to see them included in a "draggable rail catenaries mod". Any chance of this? If I understood plunderer correctly, he would gladly use SFBT-props if they were made available to him.
If his mod is already released with SFBT props, or simply won't be released, I would love to know.
@shoreman905: Yap, some years ago. But recently I have neither the time nor the place for a nice H0 model railway ... ()sad()
@heitomat: Plunderer did post something like that? I had the impression he wasn't interested ...
I submitted a new set of Kenny's SFBT catenary props that were specifically created for a rail catenary mod to plunderer a while ago. Since there are more "special purpose" props, rather than just a basic set, I assume compiling a catenary mod with the SFBT props is quite a lot of work. I figure that plunderer's free time is limited as well, so I suggest to be patient. :)

Thats normal. They have to sound the horn
Well, apparently, it didn't help that much, since you crashed into several cars at the diagonal avenue crossing right at the beginning. ;) Other than that, nice journey. :)

That's why I aviod building houses and offices right next to a railway ;)
EDIT: 1100th post!
We have trains that go through the middle of the city (I live in the US). We have a bit of industrial that touches the rail line but mainly just commercial. I think that the only residential that sits next to it is for about three blocks and that is filled with apartment complexes but no houses. The rail is fenced on both sides with gravel between the rail and the fence. The commercial is shopping centers, and small offices. As far I can recall, the train hardly ever blows its horn. The only loud noise you hear is from the railroad crossings.

Actually believe it or not, people tend to get used to it
I once lived in an apartment that was right on a rail line and after a week of living there, I actually started not hearing the train horn at all
There were times when I knew a train was going by because the glass of water on the table was shaking, but I never heard the horn

Well, the trains are only required to blow their horn at certain times, like at certain at-grade crossings. And actually, here in Austin they installed new crossing gates so that the freight trains that are now running at night on a certain track don't have to blow their horn as much (they're running at night now that we have a new commuter rail system).
-- John
In Germany, trains have to blow the horn at crossings without gates, when the gates are malfunctioning somehow, and of course if the train driver sees someone who is on the tracks. But that's only one or two short blows, not the minute-long horn blowing like I often hear in those kinds of videos. :)
more and more area's are trying to get designated "quiet zones", where trains cannot blow the horns from 10pm to 6am. But in order to get that status, cities/towns must pay part of the costs associated with upgrading the crossing to dual gates, and other safety measures required.
Its very costly, which is why it takes so long to get the "quiet zone" status

It's actually possible to get full quiet zone status, where horns are never used without extreme circumstances (i.e. someone lounging on the railroad tracks). Case in point - there are railroad tracks about two blocks from my (former) high school. It is a considerably busy line, as light rail trains go by in each direction every 15 minutes, and there are an average of about 24 freight trains daily. You can't hear light rail horns since they're not "real", but the freight trains had just ear-shatteringly loud horns. We'd get ten or twelve or so during the school day and it did get disruptive at times. Eventually the city decided to make that entire stretch of rail through town a quiet zone, so they negotiated with the railroad, Union Pacific, and while I don't remember how it was done, eventually a no-horn zone was established. They're still relatively rare, though.
Railroad companies would love to have quiet zones established everywhere. Why? Because the cities/towns pay for the upgrades that are required to get them, so they would get free equipment.
I lived in a town that paid over $6 million to establish a quiet zone. Why so much? They paid to build bridges on every crossing in town limits on that rail line(5 bridges). By doing so, the rail company agreed not to blow the horns from 9pm to 6 am. The city also paid to install 7 ft high chain link fence along the rails on both sides of the line as well, to prevent people from walking across the tracks.
The railroad had wanted to build those bridges because they were purchasing another rail line, but once they found out that the city was willing to foot the bill, they were all for it
Well, from what I am hearing hornblowing seems to be a rather effective tactic to get your railway infrastructure modernized ... I am pretty sure that the speed of the trains increased not only a little bit after the level crossings were removed.
I like to tell the story about that level crossing Bingen or Bingerbrück in the lovely Rhine valley that was replaced before WWII as one of the first level crossing due to capacity reasons. Its average close time was more than 20 hrs - per day!
Freight trains however are a noise problem in Germany, too. While trains in the USA are longer and heavier than in Europe (main reason is the old connection standard that allows maximum 4000 metric tons in flat terrain!) European freight trains are way faster than americans. You can see that on the car type: almost every freight car now is classified "s" (maximum speed 100km/h) or "ss" (maximum speed 120km/h, increased load weight for 100km/h) while AFAIK freight train speed on most lines in America is far below 80 km/h.
This high speed together with old brakes cause a lot of noise with peak levels high above 110 db(A). However on most main railway lines noise walls are missing and don't need to be installed.
Please note that these speeds are only possible because either level crossings have been closed / replaced by bridges and underpathes or are gated - no need to blow the horn yet a serious noise immission problem ...

Oh, okay. Cause even sounding the train horn itself in Japan is rare. It's not that common in Melbourne, Australia (where I currently live) either.
here they have to sound the horn at all ground level crossings. There is a set pattern they have to follow, it is annoying, but the only way to get rid of them at night, is to go with a quiet zone designation, but like was mentioned early, it is expensive to do so.

Good idea, but I have no idea how I should do that...
The only replacement that would work is one without texture, because the wide radius and Farr pieces have no base texture. So I use the no-rail-dirt-texture mod by Swamper and Pegasus. But then; many lots do have a base texture. Is it simple to make a mod that removes these textures?

@sepsis: Comrade, nice picture! But you really should secure that railway / tram crossing with signals if it absolutely needs to be there!
@Maxim1110: *sigh* Now that you have that nice avenue underpass do you really think that level crossing just next to it is necessary?
Well yeah, because if you could see the rest of it you'd know that it isn't possible to make the road intersect with the avenue later, so that's why I did that.
Yes, we will believe you if you say so, but Nardo69, being a railroad geek, is disturbed by the fact that you make a very expensive underpass for the road, which is mostly meant for safety, and then next to it you make this very unsafe level crossing. Thus destroying all functionality of the underpass.
On the other hand: we all have Simoleons enough and we want to have fun, so a traincrash here and there could be considered part of the fun.
There could be a one way road underpass(FLUPs in the NAM)
Well the point is that there are 2 roads required, and I'd rather have the avenue safe and the one way road not, than have neither of them safe. And I couldn't have built an underpass for the one way road since I needed the connection to those industrial lots;)
Hmm - I would like to see the surroundings of that level crossing & underpass to see if there is really no other possibility ... ;)
But please convert your pictures to JPGs, these PNGs are just too huge!

Is that a mod or is it just pieces put together?
Its just pieces together, because I can do that. However, to save space (but by costing realism) it is possible with careful puzzle piece manipulation to allow that GLR loop end piece to be used at the end of a heavy rail for the train to turn around on the line instead. I actually have done this. You take a road, draw it 2 tiles where you want your heavy rail line to end, put a rail under road piece on the end of the road, bulldoze just the original road next to it, there will be a heavy rail instead, that will now allow you to place the GLR loop end next to the end of the heavy rail.

hi Andy2k,
I used the same rail station as you did in this pic but encountered a problem as soon after plasing it andsurrounding it with raods it showd the "no road access" sign. Cann you tell me how you managed to get road access?
Hy,
The Stairs by the Station are Transit Enabled. That's why I don´t have this Problem.
You need anything there are Transit Enabled to connect the Station with the Street.
greetings Andy
In such cases I use the green pedestrian plaza from the Nam, too, to allow access to the station. The stairs may be TE but they are lots like the station itself, and sims usually wander between two network pieces and between and networks pieces and lots but not between two lots.
I T21'd some of Mas71s stairs on a pedmall for situations like that. Of course, I've changed the texture of quite a few of the pedmalls to match the medium wealth maxis texture.

And no, that's not a mod, it's just some quick Photoshopping that I did to satisfy a need to see a double-header in SC4.
Wow, that looks great meinhosen! You've used the RuralRoads, STR, and 3RR telephone poles to their full advantage! I love the station in the section picture as well, not to mention that double-header looks awesome! ;)

I certainly do! Looks great, I particularly like the bridge!
I'm quite baffled by that, it looks great
Wonderful work Whale :thumbsup:

Very nice fighter_jingyu :thumbsup:

Fantastic! I love it fighter_jingyu :)
@fighter_jingyu: nice pic. Where did you get the bridge?? ???
Thank you guys~
well... one of my HK friends noticed that,the railway should have catenaries to make these locomotives move...
yeah.. indeed it is a question...cuz there is no more room to place the catenaries...so i should modify the rail yards in LE %confuso
whatever,most of these locomotives in the photo are benefited in diesel,aren't they? :P

@fighter_jingyu: nice pic. Where did you get the bridge?? ???
so you can download "Glenni mega props vol 2"here (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=20564),and open any park Lot in LE,broaden the size,
then seach the props name as"Glenni - Ulvoy Bridge"(maybe this name,uncertain).
actually you can seach the name"bridge" as well ;)
OK, let's hope I make sense.
那个铁路那么厉害了,可是又一个问题。怎么你可能有高架公路的上的有地铁?还是有下的铁路-哎呀~这里的牌照很牛!

That railway looks great, but I have a question. How did you get the light rail above the elevated expressway? And then, with the railroad underneath, wow, this is an awesome picture!

Under the light rail, it's a ground highway, not elevated highway. Between the light rail with ground highway and the elevated highway above railway, there's a transition on a slope.
PS: It's a bit of funny with your Chinese :P
Huh, I completely missed the slope.... Oh well, I'm just starting to learn it, so as long as it was halfway understandable that was the best I could hope for. XD
@zakuten
Oh man! you translated all by yourself?
that's awesome~ you know you have the talent! &apls &apls &apls
i can get your words,and especially the last sentence,waaa it's very funny and native!
uh at last i have to say, maybe you confused one word:

anyway,i was so surprised that you can speak chinese so well :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thanks, hehe, I've been studying for 3 semesters, and one was in Shanghai, so that's where I picked up that part, hehe. I guess my question already got cleared up though :D

Wonderful observation Dave. As for the pics... I'm not sure if it's what you were referring to, but how'd you manage what seems to be an underpass with a 90 degree turn?
@Dave: hehe - but only almost. The target lies next to the rails! ;)
@Matt: That's rather simple - they are two of the Buddybud underpasses laid outr in an angle and connected by subway. :)
I can see it. ;) But I do wonder if that's a lot or not...
Really nice pic.

Well, so I didn't do too well with that dry drainage next to the railway line ... &mmm

Looks great Emgmod! Just wondering, is it functional? &apls :thumbsup:
It looks like a diagonal rail viaduct, so it should be functional. ;) Nice work!
It's a diagonal rail viaduct. I was wondering how many people knew about the trick, and how many people who would ask if it's functional.
Probably not that many, as I have seen this only once before. ;)
It looks like a puzzle piece viaduct... But how'd you build that across the water... Unless its rain tool water?!?
You can plop puzzle pieces in water as well. And if the water is deep enough, the sims get a free carwash. ;)
My game doesn't allow that... The tile turns red over water.

It works.
It turns red when there is a conflict (e.g., with another bridge, too steep underwater terrain, ...)
Random question maybe, but will it crash your game?
I don't think it will.
From what I did so far, it's guaranteed to work perfectly on a flat riverbed that is exactly 15 meters from the average height of the land.
Too bad the hole digging lots won't dig below sea level.
Here's how I did it. It can only be done for brand new flat cities.
1. Head to God Mode --> Terrain Effects --> Raise Terrain Level
2. Lower all the land by 23 meters.
3. Raise the parts of the map you want land by 15 meters.
4. God Mode --> Terrain Effects --> Lower Terrain Level
5. Terraform a 15 meter cliff where your rail line will turn into a bridge.
6. Use the Onslope pieces to make the bridge.
Since my MD is currently taking a rail trip, I have more pictures.
Here's a closer shot of one end of the diagonal bridge.

Thanks for the explanation Emgod :thumbsup:
If you haven't built any tunnels and bridges yet, you can even do it in developed cities using the 'setsealevel' cheat.
Open the command line (CTRL+X) and input setsealevel x
where 0 <= x <= 200. This will set the water line to the defined hight. Now you can use the hole digging lots to terraform your viaduct line.
To obtain the default sea level again, just save and reload the city.
Be careful though: the 'setsealevel' command will destroy any existing bridges and tunnels in the city!
After using the command however, you may build bridges and tunnels at your leisure as they will not be destroyed when reloading the game. (In fact, that's the method I normally use when building diagonal bridges or underwater tunnels.)
thanks for the explanation guys :thumbsup:

I'll go with the green el. rail cause it make a real separation between the rail and the buildings without being to fancy or/and expensive for such a low density area.
the other ones are not realistic :
- the simple crossing is obviously to dangerous, nothing blocks people to enter the railway from the yard,
- the other one are just too expensive :thumbsup:.

You have right, the simple crossing is too dangerous, so no way! I also liked the green El rail because it's safer and brings a nice touch of green.

You're totally right firdaus, I've actually delete that previous lot and rebuild a new one :-[. The one of the last pic is the new one. Except from the problem of light cones, I also change other minor things and I made it TE from the road (2 entrances one the lot). I'll post night pic later.

Very nice scenes everybody.
... but where are the trains ?
Let's look at wwvictory's picture. No trains what so ever.
Except in Terrings post most of the trains are props.
Yes but this isn't 'Show us your... trains' :P
Very nice railyard RBC!
Very nice picture both :thumbsup:
But I have on question: where are those platforms avaible?

Girafe, you've got pretty good friends ;).
Prop or MOD ??
Plop, unfortunately (or not), as you can see the shadow of the train. ;) Also, I don't think that Maxis designed the French version of the game with trains driving on the left, did they? Needless to say, it looks really great! :)
Totally agree, it look stunning! :thumbsup:
I think in Europe, only Britain drives on the left (driver sits on the right)... umm &mmmpretty sure

That's true for cars, but I do know from experience that French trains also drive on the left. ;)
QuoteFrench trains also drive on the left
Correct
so it is acceptable for us brits to use rail based locomotion in france, spiffing ;)
Hello People

Great work Girafe! Where did you get that amazing train? :o
I don't think the catenaries are too tall, they're about the right height. Really nice!
And more RL photos from your work place too please ;D
Euro rail mods are great, can i get more please? :D
Girafe- My eye were affixed to the my monitor for 5 minutes looking at your train.....
Kenworth- Your caternaries look great but like some of the others said, I think they 'look' too tall.....But after looking at the RL nite pic they seem realistic.
BTW- Why do the German catenaries look like there meant for the regular rail set but the Swiss version are meant for the High Speed Rail line? Does any anyone notice this?
@Fresh Prince of SC4D: The "German" catenaries are made of steel. You'll find this type mostly on major RR lines that had been electrified between 1950 and 1990. The "Swiss" catenaries have a concrete pole. It's more modern because it's cheaper. And almost all High Spped Rail lines have concrete catenaries. ;)
Some may know this layout from the first Thematic Compeition in b/w. Here's another shot from that scene - this time in colour:

Nothing special.
Just a scene from my childhood created in Sc4.
Telegraph lines along railway lines are rare to see these days as well as semaphores. And except some rare nostalgic trains the giant fire dragons are gone, collecting dust or rusting untill they become what they were: red dust. /wrrd%&
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust.
Childhood's gone for good. Except in Sc4... ;)
Have fun.

I share your sentiment Nardo. Here's another fire dragon leaving an engine shed:

This is nothing special, but it is my first use of GLR, so I figured I'd show it off. This neighbourhood turned out to be somewhat more ghetto than I was expecting, but i still like it. Comments welcome.

@puresim: Nice shed. And I might guess qho made it ... ;) :thumbsup:
BTW: What's that fire dragon and where did you found it if I may ask?
@jonno: yes, there are some comments:
- Plop the GLR-in-Avenue pieces over an existing avenue (except intersecttions etc.). This way you'll get lambposts on the avenue.
- Try not to place 2 tile wide stations in front of 1 tile wide or just opposite of 2 tile wide zones, as both grown sturctures as well as the stations are lots and Sims cannot travel from lot to lot. Instead zone 2+ wide lots with the Ctrl key in a way that each zoned lot has at least a 1 tile wide access to a transit netweork pieces. You can place stations at corners because sims will use all available obtions to enter / leave a lot.
- Even though it is not connected to the GLR I wouldn't use a streetside mod with different colours for the different wealth. It just looks too ... wild .. colourful ...
A little OT, but does anyone know if there's an overhead wire mod for Tram-GLR-EL available somewhere?

The dragon's from Pegasus' Rail Fleet here (http://simpeg.com/forum/index.php?topic=6065.msg130861#msg130861). They're all props, but still look great :thumbsup:
The shed is one of my WIP bats - didn't want to advertise it here but guess you saw my BAT thread. Would be great to see it in your MD one day ;D
Great work puresim!
I love how the train goes thorugh that engine shed! :thumbsup:
I won't change the size of the catenaries because otherwise my Regiorunner cars wouldn't fit under. In addition to this the scales in SC4 are quite inconsistent, too. ;)

Not all level crossings have been eliminated in Germany, You'll find them especially on secondary railway lines. But the number of road crossing decreases, the problem is the different track layout. It is forbidden to build level road crossing of tracks with a limit speed over 160km/h (~100mph).

Very nice screenshots solsystem. Looks like a very happy town ;)
I love your pics SolSystem :thumbsup:!
Everything's nicy : the trains (Girafe ?), the metro (?), the gardens and even the cars (Buggati Veyron in the last pic ;)). But can you tell us the origins of your stations, the underrail flowers/garden and the large tower complex in the left top of your 1st pic ?
@puresim: Thank you!
@Une_ame: Thanks!
The train is the german version in this pack: http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1956
The rail station: http://www.bripizza.net/sc4/staPlus/ensta.html
The elevated rail station: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=16716 (new lot by T Wrecks, notice the dependencies)
The gardens are part of the BSC parks, especially http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1201 for the flowers under the rail
The tower complex: one of the greatest BAT ever: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=22257

Very dangerous crossing :o
I suggest building an avenue overpass so the trains will not crush any car.
I always get excited when I see that station mikeski :thumbsup: and that str avenue crossing!
-Dave
not to mention the access to the track is too open :o anyway, very nice picture. Probably in the future, your railway authority should invest in proper fencing of the tracks "$Deal"$

That's actually pretty common around here. I go through 5 of those crossings on my way to work in the morning. None of the tracks are ever fenced in either.
What station is that in mikeski's picture? Looks great
Nice picture, mikeski!
Connor - click here (http://connor) ;)
Thanks for the compliments guys
Avenue crossings and unfenced railroads are actually common in my area, and there are rarely accidents on them. However if there is a fence for the str I'd gladly go back and fix that area, the reason I haven't placed any fences is that all the ones I've found for download take up one block. In my small town that's a lot of wasted space.
Conner, the station is in the lex. Should be under transport rail. I believe it's called Beverly Station, can't remember who made it though. It's a very nice station and fits perfectly into that neighborhood, I think.

\What GLR stations are you using?
Nice work jackxu :thumbsup: And as for street running all you have to do is grab any NAM rail piece(not FARR or STR) plop it where ever and then drag rail one tile out from the one side stub that you'll use the glr in road, avenue etc.. then drag road over the tile next to the rail puzzle piece then buldoze the rail stub next to the rail road crossing then you will have no rail sub on that side of the puzzle piece then you can drag or plop any glr puzzle piece to the end of the rail puzzle piece that has no stub then you got it you then should have some thing like this.You can see where they connect.

Yes this does mean you can have rail over GLR,and it is UDI compatable and rail traffic thinks its regular rail so the trains go right over it.

For 15 years, the Daloa Historic Green Cars ran on the North Daloa Transit Green Line. With the planned expansion of the Green Line past Daloa Park, the historic streetcars on the route would have to be taken off the rails. The solution North Daloa Transit has to this problem is to create a new historic "Green Line," and renaming the old Green Line to the Blue Line. The new Green Line uses a refurbished Green Car fleet to take commuters and tourists from Stanley Station to Downtown Daloa. It follows a similar route to NDT Route 14, so Route 14 was shifted one block to the west.

The northern terminus is actually a short walk from Stanley Station. The terminal has two platforms, so streetcars don't pile up.

The 3rd Avenue/Packard St Station. Historic streetcar tracks and Blue Line tracks cross each other, sometimes causing traffic during peak hours. The Packard Street Subway is being built so Blue Line trains bypass this intersection and will eventually connect with the First Avenue Tunnel.

In that picture you have Mcdrye's subway station (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21204) and a, elevated rail station that can be found on the LEW under Andreas.
I'm afraid it's an elevated heavy rail station ;)
actually a subway station ;)
Look closely and you'll spot the elevated heavy rail station as well ;)

Its the "SimCity 4 Extra Cheats Plugin.dll" ;), it has a cheat code that brings seasonal snow to mid altitude cities. The snow appears at the end of fall, and melts at the start of spring. I rather use this than an all year around snow mod to make snow in the game more realistic and plus the game automaticly has snow when you change your computer's date to Dec/25.
Thanks, TJ1 ...

Awesome Casper, looks excellent!
The most traveled rail line in my region (not quite this section, but its the same line). It connects all 3 of the four major urban areas of the rather large region im playing on (Naples (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2027)) I play on medium cities and my 'tall' areas usually span like 3-4 tiles, this is the outskirts of one of the tall areas around the suburban area

QuoteHowever everytime I see your french engine I think it's the German 151 ...
I wasn't aware about the DB-151. The green "BB Jacquemin" (BB 9200 in that case) made by Girafe is a really different engine even if, from a distance, they kinda look the same.
Here what I found (Wiki) :
DB 151 SNCF BB 9200 (BB 9300)
(BB16000) JacqueminTotal Prod. : 170 ex. Total Prod. : 92 ex. (40 ex.)
(62 ex.) + 125 BB25000 + 40 BB25150 + 50 BB25200
Max Speed : 120 km/h Max Speed : 250 km/h (160 km/h)
(240km/h)1st year of production : 1972 1st year of production : 1957 (1967)
(1958)Weight : 118 t Weight : 82,8 t (84t)
(90 t)If the DB151 have been built for cargo train, the Jacquemin engines (named from their engineer) were produced for high speed trains. They were one of the most succesfull european design (with more than 370 ex. engines) and allow the SNCF to keep the world record (29 mars 1955, 331 km/h :o) until the TGV in 1981.

Hello,
I was trying to build a railroad on a dyke, but when i use the SFBT rail catenaries togetter with one of the JPN walls of Mas'71 i came to a problem.
I can use those walls just between the catenaries, so there is always a gap.
How can i fix it.
Greetings,
Agathorn (Coen)

Hey, Coen, you can use this mod (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21935). The catenaries will appear when you drag the rails ;)
Or you could simply make another lot using the Lot Editor. Open the lot with the stone base texture you're using and add the catenary prop. Don't forget to do a "save as" and change the name. You'll then have an additional lot in the menu.
the terminus of 4 rail lines in a very busy commuter station. It is also served by 5 subway lines in a rather dense region, Im thinking of relotting the actual station to make it fit in a little more. Also, cant wait for mike to release the 4 and 8 story garages, the two story ones are nice, but dont portray the look that I want here. Also looking for a tollbooth for streets that look like a parking garage toll plaza... Any ideas?

another station from me, this one in the same city but its slightly less busier, but I did relot this one slightly and Im quite happy with how it looks :) obviously the area is not done yet, but the station is so i wanted to post it anyway :) the lots between the streets are part of some sidewalk extenders ive been working on. Anyone know of any flowerbed props that are not seasonal but have flowers year round? They look really bad without flowers :p

Nice station, travismking. Is it available for download and where? ::)
I believe Simgoober has some non-seasonal flowerbed lots, however, they're smaller than the ones you've used in your lots.
Edit: thanks! :thumbsup:
these are SG planters, I may have missed them in the prop pack
anyway, the station is here, its a NOB station http://tokitoko.hp.infoseek.co.jp/Hiroshima-Station.zip
This is a direct link because I dont have the page that originally linked to it. It comes in two parts, the station part and then an extra platform part that acts as a park and all dependencies (a lot of them actually) are included in the zip. good thing, cuz i thought NOB took all his stuff down, but this one is still up :)
Nice relot Travismking ! I like the style of this one.
Be carefull to flatten the ground before using the rails, some bumps can been seen between the platforms :thumbsup:.

Haljackey's Bullet Train cloverleaf is great!

travismking, with such a great station, I imagine a lot of dense commercial buidings around and some high-value residential units. ;)
yea im thinking that too, but its actually in an industrial area which I would have to completely rebuild, and atm theres no demand for commercial in this city, and I need the jobs the industries provide ;) Also traffic in the commercial area is becoming a huge problem, as the rail doesnt go through the CBD, but kind of around it, and the central station a few days back has subway as well, but it seems people dont really like to go out of there way to transfer to subway, instead they goto the closest station to the CBD and get a bus which is messing with traffic. im thinking of putting a new subway line out to this station since most of my traffic comes from this end of the region, and this way maybe they will actually transfer here. the city only has like 90k people, but is in a region of 1.4mil and theres a lot of regional traffic causing problems. This rail line here is dual (quadruple i guess) tracked, because there is like 35k people using it every day and I really hate anything thats not green on the traffic dataview :p

Wow.. travismking's heavy rail through the residential areas must have a high usage! I especially like the first picture!
thanks, thats my favorite one as well :) This line is actually not that congested, only like 7.000 riders a day, as its all suburban, and not much regional traffic goes this way. It links one of the main CBD's to the eastern suburbs which are all low density. Most of my cities concentrate on rail usage, HSR, heavy rail, subway/EL etc... but this area uses mostly road traffic, hence the highway in the 1st and 3rd shots :)
I'm not sure if is this is realistic, but it's nice :)

How do you get trail?
He uses last Nam ;)
I think he refers to ChrisAdam's trails, which are available on the LEX ;)
@Terring7: Well, instead of moving the whole railway under the earth it would be enough to built small artificial hills every some km. The railway would go through a small tunnel. As an alternative you could dig small holes which the railway crosses on short bridges.
The fences you already built along the RR line in the first pic would lead the animals to those animal bridges and the cost for the railway wouldn't explode.
The same method works for highways, motorways etc.
@ Terring7: :D Great method of letting the animals migrate without having to cross the rail line! :thumbsup:
Thanks for the comments my friends :)
Nardo i knew about those constructions from a documentary and they are brilliant. In Simcity however we can use cheats, mods and money trees to build anything we want, without worrying about money. And if we have enough money to build a whole underground rail system, why not do it? ;)
Of course this idea is only for freight trains. For passenger trains, i prefer to build elevated rails. Do i need to explain why? :D
I'll get this thread going again with a picture, this was the first time ever I used MMP's, and I think it turned out rather well:

I seriously need to get GLR skins as well as a handful of stations. :P I just now started using the GLR stuff and am trying to get a hang of it. I am using the GLR stations (part of RTMT) as of now..

Where did you get that station in the second pic. ?
Great to see folks getting value from the BSC-enhanced Amsterdam Centraal Station. Hundreds of hours from many folks on the team went into this log, working on the reward component, modding the bus-spawning automata, the bicycle props were a challenge, etc.....
The station in the first and second pictures is Ill Tonkso's St. Pancras station. You can find it on the STEX here: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=15467 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=15467)
As mentioned, the station from pics 3 & 4 is the BSC-enhanced Amersterdam Centraal Station.
Good luck ;D
deadwoods, thank you so much for your work and and for others' work on that station! I think it's easily the coolest train station in SC4 and one of the cooler buildings overall :thumbsup: Just awesome &apls If you & others find yourselves with hundreds more hours of spare time I think that St. Pancras station could use a re-vamp :D
Pretty nice work there noahclem. Great layout in the shots. Looks like the area's still developing though. Hope to see it when it's all completed. One thing I would suggest though, in the second pic, with the switch just after the bridge at the bottom, it appears that there's a main line track which continues on straight while the branch leads to the station. If that's the case, I'd suggest flipping the switch so that the curvy part leads toward the station and the straight part remains part of the mainline. That way, from a real life perspective, the main line trains passing through won't have to slow down to negotiate the curve, whereas trains heading to the station would likely already be in the process of slowing down and wouldn't be hindered as much. Good work on all this though.

Wow!!!! Lovely pictures. :thumbsup: &apls
Agreed, exceptional pictures here lately! Coincidentally, I just downloaded
Giraffe's Train Capitole a couple days ago after perusing TSC. Such a shame there's not a way to install multiple train automata mods at the same time without having the cars and engine's mixed :'( If only there was a way to have multiple networks (rail, El, and/or monorail-based) run on the same tracks. Is it GLR that's also rail enabled? Vice versa or something involving HSR (monorail-based) would be pretty exciting. I've also wished there was some way to have a major rail station that functioned as an airport (for purposes of long-distance travel and hence a stimulus of commerce) that would generate unique automata.
That was a pretty roundabout way of doing so but it did mean to compliment
Yan077's picture.
@
Jdenm8 - Very interesting network there! But even after visiting your link (with translate) I couldn't tell whether your rail was el-rail, rail, or HSR-based. Good stuff regardless ;)
That mod completely replaces the Monorail network. :thumbsup:

My photoshop skills suck so I didn't do anything to the actual picture but I added the letters and stuff, :)
Ok... the picture is from the light-rail system of Spring Coast... It connects 5 stations in the suburbs and around 13 in the downtown..
The light train is coming from the big station and heading to the Powerplant station...
That is a long train.

Great looking station area Simcitler! I plan on using your 4-platform station to replace the small one on the slope in my first picture here.
And Xander your bridges over rail look great too! I'd like it even more if the bridges were a more realistic clearance like 8 meters, but that's just me.
Also nice pictures Dcerv5633 and Mithokey.

Another leap forward for me! Now automata trains can actually blend in with the prop candy lots I used to make instead. :)

on a side note, i could never get ripplejets engine fix to work properly. did you put in any specific folder?
Well, to be clear, I didn't make any automata; that was Swamper77's excellent work (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1572). All I did was splitting the single file into separate files per car to allow loading just one (to get uniform unit trains).
These files (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=7789.msg249261#msg249261) uploaded by RippleJet fix the engine. It's just in my plugins folder.

Hi,
wo, nice pictures around here! &apls
cause my region is only a big workplace and not worth to be shown in a portrait here some pictures of the first finished train station for passengers and goods. Had some problems with the mass of props and textures and divided the lot in two parts. Now it´s better, but i couldn´t plant the switch stands (right word?)...
The station is at the end of two lines as you can see on the first picture.

Wow that is simply fantastic. I really love how you blended it into the surroundings with the textures also.
Incidentally do you actually get usage from it? I have found that whenever I build a huge GLR network, I cannot get much usage out of it, unless I bulldoze the rail lines that goes through the cities, as they will simply take the GLR to the train station then jump over to the train, take a train to another station near a GLR stop, then jump back on the GLR to go where they want to, even though there is a direct GLR line to that area with fewer stops then the train line

In my case, GLR usage exceeds car traffic by far (60,000 vs. 25,000 in the Traffic Congestion graph). Most of the tracks are used by 4,000 passengers and more; figures over 10,000 can also be seen. I customized the Traffic Simulator that comes with the NAM to encourage my sims to use public transport, ans secondly, railway tracks (and buses) are very rare in my region. I will add more railways to my cities, there will possibly be a change in GLR usage then. But this wouldn't hurt that much, most of the tram stations are far beyond their capacity already. ;)

Wow that is simply fantastic. I really love how you blended it into the surroundings with the textures also.
Incidentally do you actually get usage from it? I have found that whenever I build a huge GLR network, I cannot get much usage out of it, unless I bulldoze the rail lines that goes through the cities, as they will simply take the GLR to the train station then jump over to the train, take a train to another station near a GLR stop, then jump back on the GLR to go where they want to, even though there is a direct GLR line to that area with fewer stops then the train line
So your light rail system has fewer stops than your heavy rail? Bit strange, as it usually is the opposite. My preferred number and spacing of stations, from the most to the least, is: Bus>Light Rail/Subway>Monorail>Heavy Rail>High-Speed Rail
Some of the tram lines in my latest city:

great pics everyone.
your coal train would look great leaving a coal mine in the hills swordmaster.
this idea would also be nice with a train full of car carriers leaving a car factory or industrial complex.

Nothing is more persuasive than pink elephants. Can't resist that!
I modded the original maxis files with the reader and tweaked them so that they don't appear anymore. So basically trains appear with no cars. Then I got Swamper77's cars and made one DAT file per car, putting only one of them at a time in my plugins, so that only one type of car can appear. Not sure if this clarifies things for you.

Not sure either but I believe the SFBT soundwalls are larger. If I'm not mistaken these walls can be found in one of the CSX mega prop packs (1 t/m 7) or they're the ones that come with one of Jestarr's downloads (Bubba Bait shop or something). In any case, they're totally on the right spot, very nice pic Wetsom. :thumbsup:
I admit that these walls are extremly good though for this use &apls &apls
and I have never seen someone use them before
I have already the SFBT soundwalls, they're different. As Girafe said, i never seen something similar too, anyway thery'r simply perfect for that use. :)
It Would be awesome to have that walls as a downloadable lots set. Often it's not easy to create easily realistic transitions from railroads\railyards to urban, suburban or rural areas. ;)

Railway spiral, losing about 25m height. I have several slope mods, with maximum grades between 0.5 and 2.5%, so this is not a gimmick - it's necessary.

Willy, this is just... Waow. beautiful.
Very interesting indeed.
I never think about doing such rail lines.....I usually give up or take a different way.
Arthur just PM'd me and thinks you deserves a K-point for being so ingenious.....I have to agree with him!
Robin &apls
Looks great Willy &apls I always love your realism. Out of curiosity, does a .5% grade correspond to a rail slope value of .5 in reader?
Great work on the k-point!
Wow! Truly realistic! I have to face height differences too, but it never looks such smooth like in your picture &apls
To answer Noah's question, for every unit of distance you move, you move 0.5% of that distance vertically. In SC4, that would correspond to 16 x 0.005, or 0.08 I think. (for every 1600cm forward, you move 8cm vertically)
As for the pic, that looks fantastic! I've seen pictures of real ones (including one looping around a mountaintop on a continous trestle structure) but I've never been satisfied with my SC4 efforts.
wow... that reminds me of the CP spiral tunnels in British Columbia... heres a pick of what this would look like in real life:

Was that through the work of a slope mod or was that all terraformed by yourself? Freaking amazing work!
Thanks for the responses, folks. :thumbsup: This thing was actually a result of testing my slope mod, trying to cross the Wasatch range on dobdriver's Salt Lake City map. It's pretty though, which is exactly the point. Takes about an entire large city full of curves, tunnels and bridges to gain/drop 150m.

These were tested over a distance of 4000m (250 tiles), so I'd say they're pretty accurate. Of course, that is, if you consider 1 tile = 16m.

Both; I started from the top, so I had to terraform the terrain down, then let the slope mod bring it back up to get the maximum grade downward. The cool thing is, you can't put in the wide curves unless you lessen the grade, which is quite realistic.
Cheers,
Willy

If I may say so, there's actually no need to experiment to find the right values for MaxSlopeAlongNetwork - all you need is a bit of trigonometry. Since we know that the value of MaxSlopeAlongNetwork is in degrees, and grade is just the tangent of the angle of the network, all we have to do to find the right value for a given desired grade is take the arctangent of that grade. Using this method, here are some improved values, truncated to eight decimal places:
[tabular type=4]

[head]MaxSlopeAlongNetwork[/head]
[head]Grade[/head]

[data]0.28647651[/data]

[/tabular]
These values will always be correct regardless of the size of an in-game cell (which, for the record, is known to be 16m).
I hope you don't mind me offering this bit of correction, Willy - I love seeing the work you've put into getting realistic grades in SC4, and I only wanted to offer some helpful information. As it stands, your rail spiral looks fantastic!

Excellent work again &apls You know, you could have a few pretty nice MD updates just from collecting a few of the posts you've made around here--just sayin :P
It is a shame about the limitation regarding multiple engines. Wouldn't they normally be all at the front and back and not in the middle like you mentioned? If they could be mixed randomly in I suppose you could have an engine computed as a car, though to have the approximately 1 in 20 cars be engines you'd need 20 more coal trucks in your automata folder. Alternately, the engine automata file could be two engines rendered in a row but I suppose there wouldn't be a way to make them bend in the middle. Could look nice on straightaways though ;)

Excellent work again &apls You know, you could have a few pretty nice MD updates just from collecting a few of the posts you've made around here--just sayin :P
Well, in this case the MD would stop after one update, because there's nothing else on that map. But don't worry, everything I'm working on is towards that goal.
QuoteIt is a shame about the limitation regarding multiple engines. Wouldn't they normally be all at the front and back and not in the middle like you mentioned? If they could be mixed randomly in I suppose you could have an engine computed as a car, though to have the approximately 1 in 20 cars be engines you'd need 20 more coal trucks in your automata folder. Alternately, the engine automata file could be two engines rendered in a row but I suppose there wouldn't be a way to make them bend in the middle. Could look nice on straightaways though ;)
The more evenly you distribute the engines, the less strain on the couplers and the rail infrastructure. My knowledge of North American practices is limited, though. (Some more info (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_power)). Here in Belgium we only use one or two engines at the front - but then we have only maximum loads of around 2200 tons.
I honestly have no clue about the modding options. I'm still working out bugs with this configuration - it seems having more than 80 cars causes trouble.

Nice station hub, Noah! ;)
Here is something I'm working on. it's a terminus of a suburban small rail line. Still a big WIP though..

After a long break off SC4 I recently started playing again, and as before (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=802.msg409412#msg409412), GLR came to the highest priority again. The grass texture from the GLR drag addition in NAM v30 looked quite annoying to me, so I changed them to match the W-§§ grass textures. Click for a full resolution view (1,8 MB).

Great pic khoianh94 &apls I really like the way your re-done grass texture turned out. Besides the system of rails and GLR the mix of blocks and W2Ws. I'd like your system even more if there were less of those sharp, 90 degree GLR turns though :thumbsup:

Very nice collection of progress pictures there Willy. I like the detailed steps of how the roadbed was prepared, and even the laying of the ties was included. I would've expected to see a rail-based crane for the laying of the track, but then, I suppose, with several flatbeds of rail it would be tough for it to reach all the way to the end. Nice work.

How do you get those textures under the E-Rail?? I mean, Ive seen people using sandstone, and many other textures under the Rails, and not the new textures that NAM32 comes with... It gives a more urban sense, I really like them!!

I am going to take a guess at this one and assume its an overhanging lot placed next to the El-Tracks in line with the station. I am making this assumption since the other side of the road does not contain the brick underneath.
@cmdp123789: indeed those are overhanging eye candy lots. they sure look urban!
@buzzit: grazie.

Here are two pictures of the local El-train. It looks like boxes on tracks, but really its a funtional and reliable El-train.

You made those trains? They're great :thumbsup:
If you need to transfer from El 9 to El 11 or to the S11 or S4 then chances are you will do so here, at Bunkerpark Park Station. The El 11 runs underground here, but it's still a El train officially.

Started a new Region, these are the sidetracks located near the 2 mainhubs of one of the major cities.
Since it's a rural area, space is limited and for the sake of avoiding crossing networks the rail is elevated wherever its possible.
The water towers are relics from steam engine times ;D.
PS.: I know right now the transportation is oversized. But this area is suppose to be HD in the future ;).

Very nice work eggman121. I'm assuming you used the DBE to create a diagonal rail viaduct with that smooth curve.
It's a bit off-topic but, what is that diagonal road bridge in the image? Is it a different texture for the road viaducts or is it actually a bridge?

It looks like an overhanging prop, plopped from a margin of the brigde and the water.
Thanks for all the positive comments everyone ;D
As for the road bridge. It is actually in the NAM Diagonal Bridge Enabler. It can be both downloaded on the LEX and the STEX.
Hope that clarify s things.
Be sure to read the documentation.
-eggman121
That certainly is a nice bridge. :)
Great bridges Stephen &apls That road bridge is my favorite of the car-carrying diagonal bridges as it has the thing that almost all bridges, Maxis and custom, are missing: substantial sidewalks. Bummer that the bottom of the rail DB pylons don't match the top but not too noticeable in that situation. I had to remove Rivit's viaduct texture mod from my current plugins since I didn't have any water to hide them : &mmm

Nice junction, Hal. :thumbsup: The game-default "QTR" is still fun to see. I like that there are overpasses over the railroads; the trains in my area tend to stop and tie up traffic at the at-grades for over a mile, although there are a few underpasses/overpasses provided. Props for using the RHW creatively, too. ;D
Yours is also good, David. :thumbsup: It represents a typical small-town railroad crossing quite well. I imagine that the passenger trains at these kind of crossings create some lengthy delays.
Thanks!

Very nice Tyberius! &apls
oh boy, this is serious! awesome work &apls
I've never seen this building before. May I ask for the name of it?

EDIT:
Never mind. Just found it myself. I just googled "sc4 skyscraper complex" and looked at the picture search. Then I found a bunch of cool looking buildings, got distracted and ended up browsing through Diego Del Llano's stuff on simtropolis. Boy, he's prolific! And there I've found it: denver place (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/31537-denver-place/). Amazing what you can do by a google picture search even without an exact name or phrase.
Long time no post.
a simple Wye from me with the RRW and HRW.
Some great creations here I must admit!

The same way I like to go over-the-top with my road projects, I do the same with rail projects!
Presenting...
Rockford Base Tunnel
Nida and Rockford,
Kingdom of Rota
The lengthy base tunnel required excavation using the
Excadrill-5300, (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Excadrill_(Pok%C3%A9mon)) a most formidable Tunnel Boring Machine!
(https://i.imgur.com/GqvShhD.jpg)
It also required the use of an on-site pre-cast concrete plant for the tunnel liner.

The grand plan was to bypass a treacherous winding single track mountain railway, benefitting train traffic which didn't need to stop at the quaint mountain village of Rockford

Once completed, a new infrastructure marvel joins the legendary
Castle Rockford!(https://i.imgur.com/UUAOJLG.jpg)
South Rotan Alps Main Line
Lake Platinum
Kingdom of Rota
This has to be one of my all-time favorite railway scenic views, where the Dialga Falls empty between the natural alpine Lake Platinum and the artificial Lake Diamond!

City Express
City of Zamacentia
Kingdom of Rota
Between conventional rail, street-running trams and elevated rail, this is one of my most sophisticated urban rail set-ups in years!

That's gonna be a tough sell! The original lot was published by WolfZe in Simtropolis. Getting it now would require going into his Patreon account and donate to it.
WolfZe's Patreon was shut down, and apparently, per one of his few subscribers while it was up (https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/760285-wolfzes-content/?tab=comments#comment-1752939), his previous work from the STEX was apparently not available to subscribers, either. Knowing a little more about the situation, it's . . . messy, to say the least.
All that aside, nice work, Lucario!

Sorry to disturb but I need to express my strong denial regarding a link to another site where community members that left the scene are attacked in a sad and unnessecary way, well knowing they can't defend themselves anymore. I personally think we shouldn't discuss each other that way. And I strongly hope the given link doesn't bring this discussion of no earthly use over here. Invocations to boycott single members are inacceptable from my point of view.
I'm assuming his Patreon was shut down by EA, based on what Tarkus said on his blog back in March. Though that's just speculation on my part...
First off,
fantozzi, I appreciate your expressions of concern. Normally, I would not post something that I would know could be subject to controversy in this manner, and it is not something I take lightly. However, given my knowledge of the situation, experience in past situations, the fact that my counterparts at Simtropolis have left this post to stand, and the general rules of this site and the community, I felt it necessary to provide the additional context that thread offers--namely, that the old files were not available.
Not even getting to any matter of anyone's business practices in further detail, making one's content exclusively available via a Patreon account is effectively a form of paywalling, and constitutes commercial activity. This is in violation of the EA Tools End User License Agreement (EULA), which can be read
here (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?PHPSESSID=d7fa1bc53603c96a70da6b62b000ec44&page=6), and is also in violation of
Site Rule #11 (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=15094.0).
Quote
11. SC4 Devotion seeks to uphold the End User License Agreement (EULA) of EA Maxis, for SimCity 4 and any first-party tools or patches. Discussion of any sort of modification or project that would use first or third-party SC4 content in a manner that is contraindicated by the EULA, and/or could potentially damage the salability of SimCity 4 and expose SimCity 4 Devotion and its staff to financial and legal liabilities, is prohibited.
If someone's using a Patreon simply for early access, with the intent of uploading the files to a public exchange for free download a short time later (as
Jasoncw does), this is, IMHO, acceptable, and could be rationally construed as a "tip" or "donation". But is as far as anyone should go down this road, and speaking as the owner of this site, I will not condone the promotion of content paywalling here at SC4D. Any links to any sites, Patreon accounts, etc., that engage in such practices will be removed.
I'll note, I did write
an editorial (https://simtarkus.wordpress.com/2021/03/23/bating-for-bucks-a-pandoras-brown-box/) ("BATing for Bucks: A Pandora's (Brown) Box") at SimTarkus about the subject back in March.
The matter of what happens to content produced by someone who was paywalling is definitely a first, even in a community that's been going for over 18 years, and has created a rather difficult situation. I have my own opinions on what should be done with the files, though being that the content was originally uploaded to the STEX, not the LEX, all I can really do is opine.
I'll note, before anyone brings up the LEX DVD--that was a product of the previous ownership. Upon taking ownership of SC4 Devotion in July 2019, I immediately ended the site's previous practice of soliciting and accepting donations. Accordingly, the contents of the LEX DVD will be going onto the LEX at a later date, free to download for the entire community.
If anyone wishes to discuss the matter further, know that my PM box is open, the forums here are open, and
the ST thread remains open (Edit:
ST Staff comment from Cyclone Boom. (https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/760285-wolfzes-content/?tab=comments#comment-1753955))--but we should allow this thread to return to its original purpose, of members showing their latest efforts with rail-based transportation networks.
-Alex
If someone wants to create another thread to further the discussion, I guess that's fine. I still have more cents to give (and ask) on the matter.
To (kind of) go back to the topic at hand, I wonder how that castle was made.
I'm out of railroad pics - someone must help out to get back on track.
Got another batch of these!
