Description:

A set of passenger metro stations for early start. I felt that while the (very ugly) vanilla elevated stations are a reasonable representation of American elevated railways, we lacked representation of the type of stations which emerged in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The game also clearly lacks underground metro stations from before the 1960s.

Accordingly, the pack contains:

• An elevated (9.5m above ground) neoclassical station loosely based on the elevated stations of the Vienna Stadtbahn. Capacity 1200 passengers. The two road arches allow pass-through.
• A small underground metro station, based just as loosely on the street-level vestibule of Vienna’s Burggasse station. Capacity 800 passengers.
• A medium underground metro station vaguely influenced by 1930s London Transport stations, particularly Surbiton (now in two variants with different windows). Capacity 1000 passengers.
• A large underground metro station based on the socialist realist Dinamo station in Moscow. Capacity 1200 passengers.

All use the default metro station for their underground element (I cannot be bothered to remake this as it’s a lot of work in blender, may be impossible with the editor, and you never see them ingame anyway.) Elevated station is a bit over 60m long and underground stations are all 97m. Costs are roughly inline with vanilla metro stations – heavier on bricks and workdays, a bit cheaper in concrete and steel.

All have been tested and work but underground infrastructure is nightmarishly finicky so please let me know if you experience any issues. Be very careful when attaching lines to the elevated station to make sure they align properly – thanks to badly coded elevated metro lines I was given the choice of having them at an awkward height or having metal barriers between the train and its passengers. Neither was a good choice.
