I'm very nit-picky about lighting in my house - less so with my trains. I have yet to find an LED bulb ("warm-white", "2700K" or otherwise) for the lamps and light fixtures that comes anywhere near the quality of light from a standard incandescent soft-white GE bulb of yore.

For trains, the power savings is definitely a bonus - however I wish the manufacturers would avoid the cool-white LEDs. They do not look good at all IMO, especially when mixed with incandescent bulbs.

I haven't tried the orange paint idea, but another thing to look into is Rosco lighting gels. One sheet and you could probably cover every bulb in your layout. Look at the CTO (Color Temperature Orange) ones. They come in increments of light transmission to convert different white points (Kelvin) to another. https://us.rosco.com/en/products/catalog/roscolux
