I can't find a station called Dreieichen in the real world. Can anyone suggest what station Kibri's model is based on? Or what region of Germany the architecture of the station is typical of?

Just a thought. e. g. https://bahnhof-fotos.berlinhaup...start/baden-wuerttemberg Baden-Baden (formerly Baden-Oos) Freidrichshafen Immendingen Sing Edited by user 29 September 2025 12:13:21(UTC) \| Reason: add link

For some reason a lot of these kits are based on buildings in Baden Württemberg. I don't know if that's because that's where the model companies are based, or because the buildings of Baden Württemberg are considered picturesque.

So I do suppose that they might have used the architectural styles by which they were surrounded, so to speak

A photo of the real Bad Nauheim station building in Hesse seems to support that: Courtesy of Google Maps Z scale Kibri kit “Dreieichen” for comparison

I did find those stations on Google, and as you say, they are pretty insubstantial.
