Completed station

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.

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.
