Ok, well ive been trying to get back into coasters lately. Haggard did pretty well and this is my first project since then. im not going to say or show to much of the layout or what im doing, but i wanted to try making a custom station out of supports. i cant do 3D work yet, so i thought i'd do the nest best thing. for now im going to show some pictures of the station i made today out of supports, i was trying to hide the track work i had. those pictures will be later when i have more of the track work done.

so those are just some teaser shots.
PLEASE tell me what you think about my station, and tell me if i have anything wrong or anything that just looks funny.
its my first custom station, and i hope it looks alright.
thanks for your time everyone. [:D]

If you ever want to go all out with the custom station, just align the corners of the station platform with free nodes, and then completely trace around the station. Then take simple station off and you really have something to look at.

hey, thanks man!
glad you like it.

does anybody have any ideas on what i could do to add to this?
i changed it a bit, but its only minor chages.
like the roof having some over lay off the front and back of the station to look better.
but other then that, its basically the same.
so suggestions are welcome.
[:D]

Hope you're planning on adding an entrance/exit.[lol]

EDIT:

Not to burst your bubble, but when you put your track through the auto-flanger its gonna make that station look WHACK.

haha, i might not, cause the normal station doesnt have one, and im not sure about doing all of that.

and yeah, i have to go back threw and delete all the flanges. :/

itll be time consuming for sure, lol.

It will also turn all the tubes black that are individually colored, so my suggestion would be to change everything to wooden beams until after the supporting and then convert them all back to tubes, and select the sizes and such. But for sure get rid of the colors before unless you really wanna do all that three times.

Haha. You should just upload your station and see what people do.[lol]
You should put track in the screenshot and leave people lost for words.
