Stations Set Train Colour
I couldn't find any mod doing exactly this, so I wrote my own
This mod allows you to set the colour of a train when it arrives (and waits) at a station. Note - nothing will happen unless the train actually stops.
Setting the colour
Connect a circuit network to a station and set the 
signal. When a train stops, the R, G, B and A signals will be read and used to set the colour and transparency. They default to 0,0,0,128.
Resetting the colour
Connect a circuit network to a station and set the 
signal. When a train stops, the train's colour will be reset to the default.
You can also set the module option Default Reset, which causes all stations to reset colour unless the signal is set.
Precedence
If the signal is set, the station will always reset the train's colour to default.
Module Options
Default Reset- Reset train colours by default- Default
Red,Green,BlueandAlpha- The default colour for trains. Initially set to the vanilla standard of [234,17,0,128] Debug- Generate debug messagesRed,Green,BlueandAlphasignals - The names of the signals to use for colour. Do not change these unless you know what you are doing
