Wild mouse question...

Hi,
Forgive me for being stupid, but I've noticed in several 'wild mouse' tracks that I've downloaded, there are two stations [?] I have never seen a real wild mouse and wondered why these NL tracks have two stations... One had a second station round a short bend and another one by 'RealityRider' had two one behind the other..Could someone please enlighten me on this as I would like to make one. Thanx [:)]

It's basically a hack to get semi-real behavior. Real Wild Mice can hold several cars in the (single) station.

Like this:



Not that that's 3 *seperate* cars, not one train of 3 cars.

Thanx for that, so, could I get away with hiding the station and make a structure consisting of say one small station segment and say 6 or 7 brake segments to represent the station or is the two station thing the 'norm' ?

I'm not sure what you mean "make a structure consisting of say one small station segment and say 6 or 7 brake segments to represent the station", but making your own station is a very good idea as you will get kudos for creativity and originality, so if I were you I would go for that idea because I would like to see that. But you are right, 2 stations on a wild mouse is pretty much what everybody does, so you can't go far wrong with that, but for originality, I'd like to see your other idea [:)]

What I meant is.. If I made a wooden station 'n' meters long depending on how many cars, hide the default station and place one short station segment and several brake segments of track to the length of the station platform, it should appear that they are all in one station..I hope[:)]

Some wild mouse rides kind of ahave a third station. One to let peopl off and the other two for ppl to load on to it.

Exactly Weeeeeeeeeee .... two stations. One to let folks off and one to let folks on. In NL, just make a station ... roll on down a ways, and make another. Make sure you take care of the settings to get them right on timing.

The Wild Mouse nearest to me, (called the Mad Mouse) has just 1 brake and then a turn, then the station. You get off, then it rolls up to where you get on. That's all I know.
