This is the backside of the carpet marked for cutting. It is reverse to the interior below in the picture.
This is some of the detail for the lower Coffee shop.
Trak Works makes the product and can be purchased at the LHS. This being the first one out for the El Cap train probably makes it hard to come by, but they will be available soon at many stores.
The material is paper and almost like thin cardstock. There are hints on dulling the carpet to make it look like carpet. If you watch the following video of the product, it shows an installation and you can see how the product should look. The cutting and folding of the individual items will take some time. I don't plan on using the lighting kit since the lounge car is fairly open and the detail should be show up nicely at least in the top section. I might set up some lighting in the bottom section since there is a lot of detail there than might need some lighting. The painting guide lists the colors and companies making the paint. That helps a lot since colors are hard to determine from old pictures that are faded.

The kit is installed and the lights are on!
The picture below was taken with the defusers on the light bar to correct the brightness of the smt leds in the lounge car.
This picture compares the way they are without the defuser.
