Show us YOUR custom lots......

Catty, what ever those parking bays are would be ideal for T21ing. Can't make any guarantees as I am not a developer, but those black bays would be perfect for T21ing stuff like the NWM; while I use T-21ed gray parking bays on all my side streets

Sorry j-dub I've only just noticed your comment    they were done using a combination of base and overlay textures from BSC Textures Vol 01.dat and BSC Textures Vol 02.dat, if you want to have a look they are on the STEX here

@ art: nice one...

Art,

I like the rail shops... but IMO it would look more realistic if the buildings were rotated 90 degrees.  It seems like they could have easily added on buildings left and right of the 4 car deep rail shop buildings... but the way they're set up in the pic, any expansion would have to be made on the back end... adding one length of the car... but necessitating an entire wall to be knocked down every time.

Here's a picture of my favorite railroad, the long-defunct Chicago Aurora and Elgin, which had its shops in Wheaton, IL.  This shot is from 1938:



Let's see if I can find a close-up... ok, here we go:



The building was deeper than it was wide, yes, but the features of the building ran parallel rather than orthogonal to the rail lines that ran into the shop.



You can see here that the peak of the roof is in line with the track rather than perpendicular to it.

I think this is more realistic... here's one of the Chicago Transit Authority shops:

 

I think this really shows the situation of most shops... they've got limited space, so they essentially build buildings parallel to the tracks... think of it like covering a portion of the track.

So, in your picture, it would seem logical that expansion could continue towards the bottom of the picture with those tracks being "covered" by the building... with the peak of the roof parallel to the tracks.


I hope that makes sense....  I REALLY like the look of that... just think it should be rotated 90 degrees!
