Kelvinbank, a Caledonian Railway project.

I went to a conference organised by one of the large American scientific societies at the SECC some years ago. No doubt someone had suggested to the society's executive that Scotland in the Fall would be an excellent place to go - though Glasgow in late November was probably not what that person had in mind.

I do like inconspicuous railway buildings like this one.  Hundreds, nay, thousands of them just waiting to be modelled. The tricky bit is finding drawings!

 

True Mikkel, I think many were built from outline rather than detail drawings and a contractor would just construct them in much the same generic style as the rest of the local buildings.

 

Interesting to note that when you do see the overall dimensions they scale out at a fair bit bigger than a lot of the commercially available small buildings.

Yes that's also my impression. Perhaps commercial manufacturers have a bias towards smaller types - or deliberate re-size the prototype - in order to make them easier to fit on layouts...
