Lance Posted November 18, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) I've recently finished work on the R142(A) templates and fonts. As a treat (and because I'm super busy so the less amount of requests, the better), I'm making them available for everyone. I'm giving anyone permission to use these fonts/templates for any BVE/Trainz/whatever project as long as I am credited.R142 templateR142A templateR142 Route fonthttp://www.mediafire.com/download/47wdswxv4dzaptv/R142_Dot-Matrix_Routes.otf R142 Destination/Route Info fonthttp://www.mediafire.com/download/89j8a70o2d586d8/Seventh_Avenue_Express.otf R142A Route fonthttp://www.mediafire.com/download/2geeiv61jlyv18i/R142A_Routes.otf R142A Destination/Route Info fonthttp://www.mediafire.com/download/49kh5xz3kscl61k/Lexington_Avenue_Local.otf Edited January 30, 2016 by Lance 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted November 22, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 22, 2013 Nice! I was working on an R142 / R142A exterior font but stopped since I didn't have time. Yours does look very realistic though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

florpglrop Posted February 27, 2021 Share #17 Posted February 27, 2021 is it possible to include to include the "█" as reference to see what these displays look like when they are completely on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R142/A LCD character tiles are made up of sections which are either visible or invisible to display the character. This is how the R142A route tile looks like. I haven't gotten the destination tile yet, but you should be able to determine how the destination tile looks like by combining the visible sections of the font characters together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: I've made the R142 destination tile! It seems the R142A has a different destination tile so I plan on making that next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really interesting, I have made a model of the route tile, but I have never seen the destination tile like this. did you make it yourself? the arcs look a bit different. I think the deisgner of these mozaic displays used the same kind of arc everywhere and some of the diagonals look off. though cause of corona and being unemployed I haven't seen a destination tile in person in a while. but this is a very interesting recreation. I like how you got the horizonal and vertical line thickness right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how you got the horizonal and vertical line thickness right. Yes, I made it in paint based on good references that someone gave me. The route tiles are different than the destination tiles, and the R142 has different LCD tiles than the R142A. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know there were so many different mozaic displays, I used your design to make a rough model/drawing in openscad using my old code for the route sign, but I realize that its completely different from what I remember/recognize. I didn't realize that the different destination signs were so different. my one doesn't look right but idk. https://imgur.com/a/6mmpPoX Edited May 4, 2021 by florpglrop image too big, so I just put a link 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems this sign style is also seen being used in many other places. Someone told me it was supposedly made by "AEG", but I wasn't able to get any results on it. They could all be made by different companies too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
