Era A Railway Station Refurbishments
Firstly, I should like to give a huge thank you to MadHatter, whose pioneering UK Generic Station Modules inspired me to (eventually) provide some more decorative schemes for the Era A stations.
MadHatter’s original mod can be found here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1948581268
It is not required for this mod as a dependent file and has been tested alongside it in both current and beta updated versions of TpF2. There do not appear to be any compatibility issues – despite my scripting typos – and they work with the vanilla stations as well.
Presently there are four colour schemes for the station main and side buildings:
1. Orange brick
2. Red brick – like orange, but redder
3. London or yellow brick
4. White stone render
In addition to the building there is custom detail on:
– Platforms
– Platforms with underpass
– Platform canopy
– Platform cast iron column supports
– Custom lamp textures for each variant (also lowered so they don’t stick through the platform roof!)
Replacement benches have been added on the platforms, to match those outside the buildings, and the redundant clock-holding bracket on the small side building has been removed.
The models and other materials are all the intellectual property of Urban Games; I am responsible for a small amount of scripting and the textures.
UPDATES v1.3
============
1. Thanks to MadHatter’s scripting, these stations will now take any track.
2. Empty platforms without assets.
3. Updated UI icons.
Era A Railway Station Refurbishments
Scripting by MH to take any track; empty platforms (no assets); updated UI icons.
UPDATES v1.4
============
Following suggestions and encouragement from Green Ranger (Gr1m), the Era A stations have received an upgrade and some minor modifications. These include:
1. Gardens on station frontages (except for the Level 1 main/side buildings) similar to, but not as elaborate as Grander Stations. The beds are bordered with clipped hedges and have elderflower bushes inside. The large station has some poplar trees but the majority are just elders, allowing you to add specimen trees of your choosing. May I recommend my Flowering Trees mod…
2. Removal of a surprisingly large number of surplus lamps.
3. Removal of all the unsightly Era A trashcans; feel free to place your own.
4. Reinstatement of the small clock in the cupolas.
5. Symmetrical station sign and benches in front of Level 1 buildings.
6. Some additional benches on other frontages.
7. Station signs in front of Level 2 main building as there weren’t any!
8. Revamped benches on the platforms with assets. All wooden benches are back-to-back doubles like the Era B ones.
9. Corrected a vanilla platform texture that had survived being modified!
10. Passenger capacities on all main and side buildings as per UG levels.
