If you haven't already seen my latest coaster, Ascension: Cry of the Damned; it can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFTWM3FU1FE

In this Coaster I implemented a some-what realistic 3DS station, queue, and railings....with a later-added transfer track.

Anyway, on to the good stuff! If you're into getting a freebie to make your 3D model a little easier I decided to release the Gates I made for Ascension, It's a double Gate so it will only fit on Coasters with two-row cars and spacing them in your model and connecting them together is all up to you in sketchup or other program. Simply go to this folder in my mediafire account: http://www.mediafire.com/?yqr30kh1ubbxp And download the 3DS (YOU NEED METAL_S.jpg IN THE SAME FOLDER!) I also provided the sketchup file, this was before I edited it, so you might need to do a little editing.

Here is a screenshot of the gate: http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/589 ... 3dc25g.jpg

Yay! The more free 3Ds that I can get a hand on, the better. :)

I was needing an air gate for my coaster anyway. Thanks for sharing man!

It's no problem, I plan on making a similar gate for one-row cars that are also the right dimension and are pre-connected so no editing will be required.

With this gate, I didn't make them quite the right size but they fit so closely to the cars, I didn't bother changing it and I just make a few rails in my sketchup model to connect them together.

Hands down, the gates are the hardest part of the station model.
