One more thing I forgot to mention.
LIGHTING.
Whatever your goals are, to “weather” or not to “weather”, keep in mind the importance of room (layout) lighting. This topic has been discussed in the past and can be researched. Numerous articles have been written in OGR and the other magazines about the topic. Color balance, color temperature, color rendering index (cri), saturation, etc., these are the terms that come into play with indoor lighting.
To keep it simple, if you build your structures and weather your trains in the same room as the layout, you will be fine. However, if you have a separate work area for that activity, make sure both areas are illuminated with the same type of lighting. You will notice differences (in some cases dramatic) in perceived colors under different types of light.
