Neat. It looks like the front of a doodlebug.

I don't have one. Yet.
I've been modelling NP for decades, and I never, ever saw that shop goat. First time.

If I find another doodlebug, I can do this. First one actually became an NP Doodlebug, still in service.

Odd is the diameter of the handrails on the far end.

Those handrails are prototype -- they're from a Lionel switcher

That's what I'm saying. Or some spurious brass rod laying on the back of the workbench.
