The inside of a museum piece RR station has new and old T&G boards on the walls and ceiling. The old boards were also washed with something unknown, leaving some with a bleached look and others are fine. Is there something that would resemble wood or woodgrain in a paint or solid stain that could make all walls look similar? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

You might try gel stains to blend old and new. You might get lucky. This is always a tough situation. You can try masking off the new from the old and hitting the older wood with stain first.
