Title: VDK Rail
Post by: vester on June 09, 2010, 04:40:58 PM
Here is a new project of mine. Something I have had my eyes on for some time, ever since it was moved to make room for a ferry terminal.

Frihavnen Staion:

Here is how far I got so far:

Today it's places in a new devolved area with residential and offices and works as a cafe.

Hi Vester,
Good work and choice of building. Looks like it is pretty close to the real thing. also, it should be very versatile in terms of usability ingame.
IRL I pass by this area often, and I like that this building is being preserved in the midst of all those new (some of them soulless) buildings there. If its being preserved IRL, then why not in SC4 too  ;)

I have a request to you  ::) .Could you make a maintanence center for the GLR?If you dont know what im saying,its the place where they fix the broken trains,change trains,do maintenance stuff...anyway,i hope you continue your impressive job.

Does that count ? There is a maintenance center in the corner.

Enjoy your bat and nice attention to detail.. I'd forgotten in our (US) old rail stations (hardly see one anymore.. they are handled in private transfers now as they rarely are moved to trucks first as they used to be) that the doors were always GREEN.. especially all freight doors.. brought back memories that are over 50 years old. :) That station could just as easily be spotted repeatedly in Smalltown USA along the many miles of rails. In the US rail stations would also frequently be built "on a pattern" so you'd see the same station many times with little more changed than the station's name.
  Almost all the numerous stations were wooden rather than brick.. you'd see a brick one sometimes near larger, older towns.

Arne, I thought I posted this last night, but found it saved on the desktop this morning. That's what I get for trying to post in my sleep!

Your workmanship is superb as always. I never cease to be amazed at the masterful architecture, though. We would never see a unique structure like that here - everything is built cheap and fast.

I hope this one will be available soon.

Revisiting the Lindevang Station, orignal released as a EL-station, now as a GLR-station.

Remodeled the station over and added some new details which wasn't in the original EL-station:

I am just asking if the length of the plateform is not a little bit small for hosting 4 or 5 GLR carriages
Title: Re: VDK Rail

What would be a good lenght ?
5-6-7 tiles ?

A XL-version of the station:

Post by: krbe on December 11, 2011, 03:14:03 PM
I can only agree; it looks really good. Lindevang is without a doubt my favourite metro station.As for length of the platform, both the Copenhagen Metro and the Dublin Luas use 40 metres long trains; using the Luas Citadis stock as a measure, it seems that most trams are between 30 and 43 metres. The Wiki article on the Combino mentions Budapest's 54 metres long trams as a "world record".

Ah nitpicking, what's not to like?!  :D

Guess you're right technically, though imho wide curve station is better than an orthogonal station as far as sc4 is concerned.

Anyhow, speaking of curved platforms reminded me I'll be visiting here tomorrow.  ;)
