Westbound Passenger Station, Brunswick, Maryland
Brunswick, MD was fairly unique in that it had two passenger
stations for the same railroad on different sides of the parking
lot. This is the larger and more famous westbound station
that still exists today.
The station was in the more common cream and brown paint scheme
until the early 1970's, when it was painted in this light and dark
grey scheme, similar to the other station and WB tower. It
was eventually painted red in the CSX era and is red today.
This is my second structure made from a craftsman kit. MJB
Models (Mark Bandy) made this kit around 2010 or so. He is
no longer making kits, but he made several kits of East End
structures that I am building. I added the Amtrak. The
directions call for shingles to cap the roofs, but that is not
correct. There is a metal ridge cap on the real building and
a chimney, neither were included in the kit. However, it is
an excellent kit and a straight forward build. If you can
find one, I'd encourage you to pick it up.
