Station signs
Two blocks for the signs every German platform has: the long blue Station Name Sign and the Platform Number Cube with the big platform number.
Station Name Sign
One block high, after DB Station&Service: a deep blue box with large white lettering. Signs placed side by side join into one long sign, as long as you like.
Placing
Where you place it decides how it is fixed:
| Placed | Mounting |
|---|---|
| under a ceiling or platform roof | hanging, with hangers up to the ceiling |
| against a wall | on the wall |
| anywhere else | on two posts at its ends, down to the ground |
With the wrench you can also choose on a mast (in the middle): one mast through the middle of the sign between two boxes back to back, as on most platforms. Except on the wall, the sign is lettered on both sides.
Settings
Click the sign with Create's wrench. The settings apply to the whole long sign.
| Setting | Choices |
|---|---|
| First line, Second line | Your text, one or two lines. |
| From the nearest station | Takes the name of the nearest CRN station (its station tag) by itself. |
| Mounting | hanging, on two posts, on the wall, on a mast (in the middle) |
| Style | DB (blue), Enamel, Reichsbahn (white) |
Lines that are too long are first set narrower, then smaller, so the name always fits.
Platform Number Cube
The big blue cube with the platform number or the section letter, as on many German platforms.
| Setting | Choices |
|---|---|
| Platform or section | Up to 4 characters, for example 2, 12, 3a or A. |
| From the nearest station | Shows the platform of the nearest station by itself. |
| Lettered | two sides or four sides |
| Mounting | hanging, on a post, on the wall (also on a mast) |
| Style | DB (blue), Enamel, Reichsbahn (white) |
