Wellll, after determining that the small Marx buildings posted here were, for the most part, not actually HO-scale, that doesn't exclude Marx from the HO game altogether. They did in fact make a series of accessories to accompany their HO-scale trains that were completely in-line with HO standards. They made bridges, lamp posts, light towers, a water tower, signals, telephone poles, and of course this passenger shelter. Mine came without a box and I couldn't find pictures of one on the Web so I can't say what the item number is or whether Marx called this a 'shelter' or a 'platform'. It measures 6.75" (17.14cm) W x 2.375" (6.03cm) D x 3.25" (8.25cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
Here we see the passenger shelter alongside one of Marx's small houses. Yeah, that house is definitely NOT HO-scale

Worth re-posting. Shots of the HO shelter being used on my old O-gauge layout. It works okay as a small flagstop or trolley stop station
