This is a detailed HO (1:87) model of a small two-story railroad signal/switch tower intended for dioramas, train layouts, and display models. The model features a rectilinear lower enclosure and an elevated glazed cupola with multi-pane window bays on three faces, overhanging eaves with exposed rafters/brackets, a straight-run external staircase on the right with handrail, vertical siding panels, and a low brick plinth. Windows are modeled as openings (no interior furniture). The STL is grouped so primary solids and secondary details are easy to isolate for printing or painting. Recommended printing: resin 0.05–0.1 mm layers or FDM 0.12–0.2 mm layers; supports under eaves and stair treads are advised. The download includes one 1:87 (HO) master STL; to print other scales scale the file uniformly in your slicer (examples: 1:160 = 54.4%, 1:100 = 87%, 1:72 = 120.8%, 1:48 = 181.25%). Perfect for early 20th-century layouts and industrial dioramas.
Available railroad scales: Z (1:220), N (1:160), HO (1:87.1), S (1:64), O (1:48)
