Here's the completed station. The SR&RL-style enamel signs were printed with an inkjet printer, cut out with a sharp knife, and attached with double-sided tape.
An HOn30 model railroad depicting the Monson RR, a six-mile-long "two-footer" that operated from 1883 to 1943 in Piscataquis County, Maine. The layout was born as a freelanced, Monson-inspired granite-hauling railroad set in coastal Maine, and is now being redesigned to follow the prototype as closely as possible in a limited space.

Interior lighting for passenger station
I added two LEDs for interior lighting, one in the waiting
room and one in the freight section, but they were too white for my taste. Another hobby of mine is theatrical lighting design, so I had several swatch
books of color filters lying around. I
cut a small piece from a color correction filter (Lee 205, which converts
daylight to 3800K) and wrapped it around each LED. The photo below was taken before I installed the filter in the freight section, so you can compare the effect with and without the filter. The light looks slightly less yellow in person than it does here.
