LoL. <br /><br />I've been hunting on-line and managed to find some faded original pictures of the station name in English and in Arabic (they were either side of the main doorways). I've cut, pasted, edited, and reduced them down to the right size and printed them on the thinnest paper I can find. When I get home I'll cut them out and see if I can add them to the outside of the building (there's no way I'm trying to paint these signs at this scale!).

I figured I can always add the signs later if I find a suitable picture or transfer to use.
