I'll be interested to see how you replicate the text, sounds like it's going to be challenge.
It will, indeed, be a challenge
I've yet to source a suitable clear flexible plastic replacement (which is about 0.5mm thickness.)

As you evidently possess an undamaged example, I don't suppose I could persuade you to photograph it (for a complete station name list) could I?
Kind regards in any event Clive...
