Manchester Metrolink Modular Station
Manchester Metrolink Modular Station
Manchester Metrolink – the modern era. Bright concrete platforms, bright yellow signs.
This is a modular train station mod styled with a Metrolink theme.
IMPORTANT
This is a new mod using new station code – while I have done pretty extensive testing,
I don’t have every mod ever made for compatibility testing, so please test it for yourself before adding it to important saves.
I would very much appreciate that if you do find any issues please report them in the dedicated thread.
Main Features
– 20m length platform modules, narrow and wide variants with and without decorative assets
– Single-wire catenary “street-running” style tracks (asphalt and paved)
– Dynamic entrance modules (steps, ramps) that size according to placement
– Shelter and sign modules for showing the station name
– Automatic addition of single-wire catenary versions of any other installed tracks (50mph or lower)
Everything is also an asset
– Platform pieces for making decorative curved platforms
– Lots of catenary pole variants (catenary poles must be placed manually – tracks don’t have poles)
– All the platform decoration assets
– Shelters and signs showing text of construction name
– A digital display sign that can show departure information (not real, but nice for pictures)
– The step and ramp modules and a useful track crossing that can be placed anywhere to add a path for pedestrians to walk across
– Two new terrain brushes matching the new tracks – asphalt and paved
All items can be found under the Badgerrhax Metro category.
A note about the automatic track additions
I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to keep this in, as it does pollute the menus a bit – if you have a LOT of track mods and lots of tracks
with a speed limit of less than 50mph, then you’ll have quite a few apparent “duplicate” track icons in your menu. However, the auto-generated
ones are prefixed with “Metrolink Style” in the title, so look out for that to tell them apart. The “Metrolink Style” versions have a
single catenary wire (no support wires) and no catenary masts or bumpers in order for them to fit in with the theme of this mod and
the commonly seen single-wire catenary around the Manchester Metrolink network.
Thank you for reading this far, I hope you enjoy this mod.
Please report any bugs with this mod, so I can try to address them.
