@Miketg - Mike I have 2 reference books, one on Ismayer Trains alone and one on Ismayer & Bub trains. I looked for your crossing guards shack / signal and could not find an exact match in either. However the semaphore signal with the vertical slots appears quite often in Ismayer accesories and the shack is referenced in both the Ismayer and Bub pictures and the comment was made by both authors that the shack was included on a number of products. Not much help I suppose but that is what if found.
Today I have something that is really not all that old, compared with many of the trains we see here on this thread. However I found it very pleasing and quite robust in construction. It is the Skyline station, offered I believe from 1954-1960. Skyline as I am sure all know made quite a number of different buildings and RR accessories and I had what I believe to be another, more rural looking station on my Christmas layout from 1947. So here is the Skyline "Middletown" suburban station: The station is all lithographed tinplate, no plastic on it at all.
Front including ticket window and freight / baggage area with sliding door
Rear with passenger exit to tracks and freight/baggage out sliding door.
The end view (both ends are the same) showing the "Middletown" name
Best wishes for a great week to come
