Remembering back to my HO days I always had a fondness of a Atlas switching tower, and I stumbled on to a pathway solar light that looked very similar. A little pricy at $ 30.00 when I'm use to $.98, but for 2 but not terrible. Added a little evergreen styrene building siding sheet sealed the cracks, detailed the post to look like a large tree trunk post and added a styrene ladder. Even painted red and lettered it like my old Atlas one. fun easy build,
I have got to develop an eye for spotting opportunities like this!
Very cool idea and result.

Fantastic idea . Now you have my curiosity up, would like to see the "fruit car" teased in the photo.
