Blueprint creation

Place a train stop and name it. The system can only replace icons, so it is important to use an icon in the name.

Now create a blueprint:

Enable the "Train stop names" option. (Important):

Click the

parametrization button.

In the list of possible parameters (only one shown in the screenshot), enable the parameter replacing the icon in the station name, and give it a name. Then confirm the pop-up via the green button and save the blueprint. You are done.

Additional notes:

In case there are multiple instances of the same icon, the tooltip on the "value" shows, which instance of the icon you replace.
When you enable "Parameter", the original icon is replaced with a parameter placeholder.
The name you enter will be shown as a window title when placing the blueprint.
