Reply to "3D printing the details for my switch tower."

The original Korber Models Company (owned by the late Ernie Korber) located in Perth Amboy, NJ made accurate O gauge models of CNJ ( and NY&LB) brick interlocking towers. This type of tower had ep/Electro Pneumatic switch machines inside...so your model interior is correct.

The wooden construction towers on the CNJ/NY&LB such as Red Bank, Matawan, Sea Girt all used Armstrong levers.

Going to college in the late 1960's, I worked as a CNJ Towerman, qualified on all CNJ towers from PS/Phillips Street in Jersey City, NJ to PU/Phillipsburg in Phillipsburg, NJ and Branches.

Walter, thanks for the valuable info and great pictures! Didn't know about those Korber kits, it appears some are still available on that large auction site and at a few hobby stores.
