UK Generic Country Halt / Station Modules + any track type

Description
Here are a set of modules for creating a 'Halt'

In the Uk these are typically on one side of the line and contain nothing more than a platform and a pagoda (small shelter)

This mod has narrow platforms / pagodas / stairs in brown - green - blue or crimson trim.

There is also a 'prefab station' however this will create the bare minimum when you place it
- a piece of track and a platform -
You then need to configure it and add an entrance where you want it and a pagoda.

The mod uses narrow platforms. This presents its own challenges.
To add an entrance you need to use the 'narrow stairs' module in the misc tab.

There are platforms for both sides of the station. Both now have name boards.
To fix a reported issue and not break anyone's games I needed to swap which platform was used when
placing the prefab station. Consequently when dropping a prefab it now drops the 'opposite' platform first.
On the plus side both platforms now have name boards.

Notes:
You can use the narrow platforms as outside platforms on a terminus but not as central platforms.
(because the track wont run close to both sides of the platform.)

@Mad Hatter I did an extensive check of my 1045 mod collection, and it took 2 evenings to find every bugged mods in the game log..thanx you for fixing it!

So that should be fixed - didn't actually detract from the mod as it doesn't use those 3 mtl files but now you wont get the lines in the std.out file.

Oh interesting - especially as this mod has been around almost since day 1 of tpf2. So missing things makes no sense.
Let me have a look and see if i can see what caused that for you.

By chance, is it possible to to get these narrow platforms and the other UK Generic Platforms you have made with out the station sign on them? I am looking to use your Northern Station Sign mod in place of the sign that automatically come with them.

Confirming what Cheese King wrote, this mod changes platform name signs on Mad Hatter 'UK Generic Stations'.

To test this:
Make game with 'UK Generic Stations' mod enabled.
Build a Default station and a UK Generic Station.
Change the names of each station and confirm that the platform signs show the new name.
Save the game, then reload it with 'UK Generic Country Halt' mod enabled.
Look at the platform signs. The UK Generic Station signs have changed back to their original default name.
Load the game with 'UK Generic Country Halt' mod disabled and the platform signs correctly show the new names again.

When you set the name of a station, it changes the name of the Station Group entity (not the Station entity). It seems that enabling the 'UK Generic Country Halt' mod causes 'UK Generic Stations' to show the name of the Station entity instead of the Station Group entity.

@Cheese King of Denmark - Oh- hmmm that's an odd one - I'll have a look.

This is brilliant, but I encountered a weird bug:
After adding this to mod to my existing savegame, I lost the ability to change the names of stations using platforms from your UK Generic Station Moduels mod. IT refuses to let me change their names, also on new stations as well as those from this mod. Vanilla stations are fine though. Also, the station signs are stuck at the random name the game chooses when a station is placed. What the issue is I don't know, but when i remove this mod it works fine. I don't know if it works properly in a new savegame where both mods are active from the start.

@briansyston - Not when this mod was created you couldn't. Also I don't think there are any other half width platforms available so I don't think you're right anyway, and the GWR style pagoda is I think still unique to this mod.

We can already build this using the existing station modules.
