Vintage Downtown Buildings and Apartments.

The new Downtown House 1 V1 in game and compared to the size of the other downtown style buildings.

Even a city style house would be small compared to the large city buildings.

JP, just a suggestion. Your metropolis is missing some infrastructure.

+ Fire station
+ Police station
+ Post office
+ Multi story grade school (which I still don't understand, we simply don't have them here on the west coast)
+ News Paper Office (like the daily planet, but not).
+ Radio station (TV station? or is that the late 50's?)

Actually, at the moment it's missing a ton of things from apartments, office buildings and others. Once there are a ton of all of these it will then be a metropolis.


I will probably make some later, building buildings though still take a while. I'm only now starting to fill in some of the basic city buildings, such as domestic buildings.

I will try to make some later when I get the chance.

But I will make a fire station though. Anyone know of any pictures of that old firehouse that was used in the Ghost Busters movies. It was set in New York City. I would love to build that one.


.....Edit...

Another version of the new downtown house 1 is finished and in game.

Two more downtown houses for the set.

Downtown House 1 V3.jpg

Downtown House 1 V4.jpg

These are the last versions of this shape. Next will be Downtown House 2

Also, here's a new warehouse I did a while back that I forgot to post a picture of.

+ Radio station (TV station? or is that the late 50's?)

I don't know, not sure if there was even such thing as a tv in 1935, or if there was much of a radio back then.

If not, the radio station will be in a later set.

Crystal radio sets were around in WWII so there had to have been stations.

Radio became popular in the early 1920s. There were even car radio sets by the early 1930s. ABC, NBC, and CBS already existed, though in the case of ABC it was one of the predecessor companies.

Your radio building could simply be a large multipurpose downtown building with the station call letters emblazoned in a largish sign or neon letters. And probably an antenna tower on top.

I work at one of the oldest radio stations in the country. We're coming up on our 90th year.

Would the call sign be KDKA?

Not mine. KDKA is said to be the first commercial station but there were at least two other "broadcasts" prior to KDKA's. it;s in the article I linked.

But my station is WTAD in Quincy Illinois. Going strong for 87 years!

What does the station look like?


Also, working on a vintage train station for the set, a large one.

First progress on my new Union Station for Railworks. A train station for the set.

Final progress of the Union Station before I put it into the game.

Next, I'll be sizing it, set where it will sit in the game, and then I'll put it into the game to be with the rest of the set.


What do you think of it so far?

[jpetersjr]

Good news, got the Union Station into the game and it looks great.

For a while needed a special train station to go with the metropolis scene, now, we have it. A big train station for a big city.

First render of the new 23 story office building for Railworks.

Another render of the building.

Another render of the building. Where I have the red at the moment is where the doors will go on each side.

NY Office Building Render 3.jpg

This building once finished will come in several different versions and at the moment will be the biggest building I've created for Railworks yet. Not much done on it yet, but a start.

[jpetersjr]

A new render of the building, the building is slowly coming along.

Some slow progress. Began on the windows on the main building.
