Create: Realistic Railways

by josie_wosie

Create: Realistic Railways makes the railway system of the Create mod closer to British mainline practice, adding colour light signals, shunt signals and level crossings to the track network.

What it does

Create: Realistic Railways adds signalling and track equipment modelled on British Rail practice. Included are 2 Aspect and 3 Aspect signals, an LED 3 Aspect signal, signal nameplates and poles, a UK automatic half barrier level crossing, a shunt signal and a limit shunt. The signals follow the design of UK mainline colour light signals, and their poles can face any direction over a full turn. Holding shift while placing locks the rotation to 45 degree increments.

The author describes the mod as aiming to make Create's railways more realistic, and lists planned additions such as spawnable trains that appear when a track is right-clicked, trains with animated doors and headlights, editable unit numbers, an automatic warning system magnet block, a train driving screen, and TPWS loops. Those additions are not in the files yet. The mod requires Create and is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 and 1.21.4 under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Colour light signals

    Two and three aspect signals, plus an LED three aspect variant, follow the look of UK mainline signals.

  2. Crossings and shunt signals

    A UK automatic half barrier level crossing, a shunt signal and a limit shunt complete the track equipment set.

  3. Signal poles and nameplates

    Signal poles and nameplates can be placed at any orientation, with shift locking the rotation to 45 degree steps.

  4. Blender-modelled signals

    Each signal model is built in Blender to give the signals a detailed, accurate form.

This mod aims to add British Rail in Create as realistically as possible. Signals are modelled to accurately reflect mainline colour light signals used in the UK. Every signal model is meticulously modelled in Blender to ensure high quality and realistic signals.
