This is an HO scale drawing of a railroad interlocking tower. The original tower that inspired it is the Mershon tower, located in Saginaw, MI. The tower still exists today, but it has been moved to the Saginaw Railroad museum (http://www.saginawrailwaymuseum.org). I drew the windows a bit larger than the original to offer a better view of the interior. I did not have access to blueprints or the building itself, so I had to extrapolate based on photos.
The mershon_building_floor STL has a solid floor, and pads on the end to prevent the model from curling up. The mershon_building_hollow has no floor, so you can print it upside down if that suits your printer. Same for the back shed, there are 2 copies.
I printed this in white PLA, and the results are passable.I suspect a resin printer could do a better job.
