Mahnern Hauptbahnhof (Mahnern central station) has been finished (almost, staircases, some switches and a yard south-east of the station still missing).
Mahnern is a mid-sized city (about 130,000 inhabitants) within the Kelmtal mining region in Kelmtal-Borgenland region, Kalm. It is located only 10km south-east of Vennburg, with Vennburg’s metro line U2 terminating at the central station. Also, an interurban tramway connects Mahnern with Thermette in the south-west, using the alignment of a former railway line outside of the city.
The central station is a quite important one (although FLINX high-speed trains bypass the city centre on a high bridge crossing Fenn river). It has 12 tracks, 10 of which with platforms. Starting from the south-west, there are 1 regional train plattform (approx. 300m), 2 suburban rail platforms (about 250m) and two long-distance/regional train platforms (approx. 410m). So, except FLINX, all major train types stop here.
Have a look. :)

Looks good, your station. Realistic platforms and each individual track is drawn. I like such complexe arrangements.
Nur 2 Tipps = Die Straßenbahn hat östlich vom Bahnhof einen Radius von nur 6 m! Da würde ich auf mindestens 20 m gehen, besser 25 m. Und bei den Überwerfungen mordwestlich sind um 100 m sehr wenig. Mit Fahrdraht benötigst Du 7 m Höhendifferenz, mit Dicke der Brücke 7,5 m. Bei maximal 3 % Steigung / Gefälle sind das etwa 250 m und wenn ein Gleis steigt und das andere fällt immer noch 125 m. Ich würde die Bahnsteige etwas nach Südosten verschieben.

I love your detail on your railroad infrastructure. Someday I hope to replicate it - I think it will be a very long time before I get there.

This is great work, indistinguishable from real German cities. I realise that there are subtle differences in railway layout and connections from country to country.

@Luciano & histor: Thanks for your positive comments! I’m a bit “delayed” at the naming level and the building details within Vennburg region, but I can certainly say that I have a good level of detail concerning railways. :)
@histor: Danke für die Tipps! Die Straßenbahn war bisher nur skizziert, hatte daher noch eine deutlich zu kleine Kurve. Habe ich nun in dem Bereich schon mal angepasst. Danke auch für die genauen Angaben zu den Steigungslängen bei Überwerfungen, das war wirklich sehr knapp bisher. Ich habe die beiden Fernbahnsteige nun schon ein ganzes Stück nach Süden verschoben, ist aber noch immer sehr knapp. Ich werde da noch etwas nachjustieren, Ende Oktober, nach meinem Urlaub.
Best regards Viele Grüße joschi81

@Sarepava: Thanks for your positive comment as well, that you wrote while I wrote mine. :) I’m looking forward to see Karolia in its new location when I’m back from traveling in the end of the month.
