For the frugal among us, I would suggest the Plasticville switch tower kit.  
Remove the 3/4" foundation and it is well suited to S scale.  You can cut off 
the plastic handrails and replace them with stiff wire.  Easy to add a common 
pin for doorknobs.  Even the doors have panels molded in which can be cut out 
for windows.  Add some interior details, lights, paint and weathering and a 
very passable structure can be yours for maybe ten bucks or so.  The 20th 
Century Limited passes one of these towers on every loop around the layout.  So 
it cannot be all that bad in spite of being Plasticville and originally 
intended for children at least five years old.  Cheers...Ed L.
