In old photographs lighting appears more yellow as this was the colour produced by incandescent lights. Our brains actually tricked us into believing that we were seeing white light. If you travel in an old carriage that still has incandescent lighting you will be surprised just how yellow it appears.

I'd have been happy with the yellow glow for carriage lights.  The real thing was so low level that reading lights were provided in compartment stock, very low wattage bulbs feebly casting light through frosted bulbs, at 24v IIRC.   Modern carriage lighting is much brighter, and colder in cast, even through tinted windows, and one of the most common errors on exhibition layouts IMHO, even modern image ones, is lighting that is much too bright.

Given the criticism elsewhere of tension lock couplers, these are an interesting treatment of the subject and I think,  work very well

Cafés, the Diner is lit with cool white LED strip but the Coffee Shop uses warm white 3mm LEDs with a touch of Tamiya clear red to balance the light to the same colour as the filament bulbs in the globe streetlights outside.
