My plan is to do a diagram of a small 'yard' area in the center of my layout, as it'd be tough to realize which pulls are for which turnouts otherwise. It's the only place where you can't immediately tell which blue point pull is for which turnout as there's a jumble of tracks and turnouts in a roughly 6X2' area...
I'm also thinking of screwing a couple of sheets of clear plastic to the fascia with a postcard of the real RR inside. I also might have the name of the RR made as a vinyl stencil and paint that in gold on the green background of the fascia (they used SRR green-gold through the 30s and as late as 1942).
The car card pockets on the fascia will need signage as to which pocket is for what.
Each station area will be named on the fascia as well.
I also have a 1943 Tennessee license plate (I'm in the process of painting the numbers by hand onto it as it had to be stripped and re-painted) and I'm seriously mounting that along the fascia if I can find room for it. If not there, it'll go on the wall as that's the state and year the layout takes place in...
