North American Platforms (network pack)

Description
Network Pack - North American platforms

Adaptive Networks isn't necessary for the platforms to function, but they might look a bit weird without it.

This pack is inspired by varius Amtrak and VIA Rail stations throughout the US and Canada.
The platforms are technically compatible with any type of station track, but I would recommend going with assets that have the appropriate heights like REV0's RAILWAYS 2
Included are
- 3 types (double/ island, single/ side, extension) at
- 2 different heights high entry (48" ATR) and low entry (8" ATR) with
- 9 different variations,
which results in a total of 54 individual networks
The width of double/island platforms is 24', of single/side platforms 12', and of extenions 6'.
All network styles share textures so I highly recommend LSM.
Please see the Amtrak Station Program and Planning Guidelines[www.greatamericanstations.com] for further guidance on station design.

Thanks to Zarrix and his brilliant Italian Platforms Network Pack for inspriring me to create this!

I'm really confused. I want to make a station but I don't know how to make this functional. I have adaptive networks (not sure how to use it, just says 'no custom AN flags') and when I click on the 'create train line' button it says I don't have a station.

Hello! Are those surfliner assets in the photos public? I was able to find the go transit train but cant seem to find the surfliners

@snagletooth these platforms have a fixed style, while with my other pack you can modify the platforms to your liking over adaptive networks tags (tactile paving, no tactile paving, lines, no lines, etc...).
I believe you've commented on the wrong pack.

On this set, the platforms have no yellow markings. They are there on the NA pack platforms but the ones from this pack. They do show up while dragging the network, so I assume they are supposed to have them, but they never appear once set.

Are the ones in this set not supposed to have markings? It would to too strange, most Amtrak stations outside of major terminals that haven't had a recent rebuild often don't have their markings or have long worn off.

@Future the networks don't have any custom tags. I'm only using AN's tiling functionality.
Amtrak recently updated the guidelines and I forgot to change the link. Should be correct now.

There will be some ramp/end props and a few other platform props soonish.
Future 18 May, 2022 @ 12:17pm 
Also are there any ramp/end props for the platforms in a separate asset?

Adaptive Networks says that it has no custom tags...
Also, the link to planning stations in the description is broken...
But besides that this is the asset I was looking for! thanks!

Could you make a collection with all the assets you used in the screenshots It would be greatly apreciated becasue it is takign me a long time to find these
MunSka 3 Mar, 2022 @ 10:46pm 
any plans for modular stations based off these platforms?
The Federation  [author] 7 Feb, 2022 @ 5:02pm 
@RobBobBobert those are some very good points! I'll add Adaptive Networks instead of Network Tiling because I don't know what the effect of not having NT might be. (The networks will still work without AN, albeit look a bit weird.)
I'm in the process of updating the textures and tiling based on your suggestions and should be done by tomorrow.
Should you or anyone else have ideas regarding other platform designs, especially Canadian platforms, just shoot me a DM over discord (The Federation#0001) or post it here :D
