Detailed 1:87 HO master STL of a vintage French counterbalanced tabletop scale (1950s). This compact shop counter scale features a painted cast‑metal body, two symmetric hanging pans, a large removable brass bowl on an arched suspension handle, three leveling feet, and a front knurled adjustment knob. The masked label from the original photo has been removed to leave a neutral metal surface. Included: one HO 1:87 master STL ready for printing. The model is ideal for dioramas, HO model railway shop counters, bakery displays, and display models. Print guidance: print the base flat, use 0.08–0.16 mm layers for fine detail, and either thicken chain elements or replace with fine wire for durability. To print at other scales, uniformly scale the STL in your slicer (conversion examples included in the master description).

Available railroad scales: Z (1:220), N (1:160), HO (1:87.1), S (1:64), O (1:48)

Ready to print digital download in one piece with no assembly needed.
