The Mulheim DeutscheBahn train station platform in Cologne, Germany.
This was a European train station platform modeled in 3ds MAX using satellite and photographic reference imagery. Also modeled a wide variety of platform and trackside objects. (Blurriness is due to game engine).
Another view of Mulheim Station, Germany.
This train station took just a week to model and prototype in-game, including modeling incidental objects and signage particular to this station.
Wide Shot of Mulheim Station, Germany.
Reproducing an existing real-world rail station meant correct locations of elevators, seating, furniture, and station signage, as well as correct geospatial alignment to spline-extruded rails.
Lighting and signage - Europe.
Modeled station-specific and autogen light standards and signage for all stations on the TS2 high-detail routes. All were provided with light maps and night textures, with the game engine blending dynamically between them.
Cologne Hauptbahnhof buildings and objects - Cologne, Germany.
Built twenty-five objects for Cologne Station. This colossal train station in Northern Europe contains many identifiable buildings and objects, which were all reproduced in-game.
Hansaring Platform - Cologne, Germany.
This is a very small single-platform station just North of the Cologne Hauptbahnhof ('central/main train station'), a reproduction from photo reference. An added challenge with a smaller station like this - surrounded by rails and catenary - was to place it accurately between rails that were both geospacially accurate and navigable by the user.
Hansaring Platform - Cologne, Germany.

Signs and clocks in Train Simulator were driven dynamically.
