@Arne- Fantastic stations, beautiful lithography and very interesting that the base plates were the same. Thanks for posting. The monorail from Joustra was also very interesting, is it electric or clockwork? I see what might be electrical contacts on one of the two cars but can't be sure.
Thought I might try to keep our thread going with a VERY humble offering but interesting in its own way. This little house or cab or cabin does not directly come from a train maker but is very close. It was part of an "Erector Set" a toy introduced by A.C. Gilbert of American Flyer fame in 1913 (way before he took over American Flyer from William Coleman in 1939). It was likely provided to represent an operators cab or shelter for a bridge or a crane that you created with other Erector pieces. This idea of making items from Erector pieces to use with your trains continued throughout the duration of the company.
This is about 2" square at the base and while small, the doors / windows are clearly represented in "O" scale (the door being about 6-7 scale ft high for example). The opposite sides and ends are the same.
Here is the side view, showing the "Erector" trademark (note line connecting the "R" and the "T")
I did post this on "Buy Anything Cool Today" as well since I purchased it today for $5 at a local "antique" store however it is lithographed tinplate manufactured by A.C. Gilbert one of the most famous names in U.S. toy trains.
Best Wishes
