Due to time constraints, the new SFBT releases are rather delayed, but I finally managed to package some new items - and more will follow soon, this time for real.
SFBT Semaphore Signals Prop Pack by royalroyal, one of the railway experts in the SFBT, has been creating a huge amount of rail signals. The first pack is a set of classic semaphore signals, more sets with modern signals are in the making right now and will be released later. The semaphore signals have been a typical view in Germany and other European countries for decades, and although most of them have been replaced by electric light signals, you can still find them along rural railways throughout the country. This prop pack contains a total of 92 different props, with distant (approach) signals and main signals, virtually all of them rendered in different rotations (orthogonal and diagonal), as well as offset versions that can be placed on lots next to railway tracks.
SFBT Ahrweiler Station by royalAhrweiler is a beautiful town in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, located in the Ahr river valley, which is famous for its great red wines. royal often visits his grandmother, who lives in that region, by train, so he knows that station very well. This download contains three lots, one with the historic station building, and two train stops that just have platforms, with different lot sizes. All lots feature the aforementioned semaphore signals, but if you prefer a more modern look in your city, you don't need to install the prop pack, which means that the signals won't be displayed in that case.
SFBT Commuter Stations by KenworthKenworth is one of the other SFBT rail experts, and he was BATting some German train stations as well, this time from the Leipzig area in Germany, where he lives. The set contains five commuter train (S-Bahn) stations, each one modeled after real-life stations as well. Two of the stations were especially designed for the NAM overpasses, they feature an escalator prop that fits perfectly to the rail viaducts or road puzzle pieces. The elevators are merely eyecandy, but they surely look great, I'd say! Another two stations have parking lots and also feature an integrated bus station, they are intended for rural areas, where more room is available. Only the stations with parking lots accept commuters that arrive by car, but they also serve as bus stations, which makes them perfect for "park & ride".
As I said, more new stuff will follow soon, including an updated version of the SFBT Essentials, so please make sure that you have the latest version if you want to use the upcoming downloads!
