I have this model, all assembled, painted and weathered, and have been wondering whether it is based on an actual station building. Many of the station building kits by Faller, Vollmer and Kibri are definitely based on actual buildings and even carry the same name as their real location. As far as I can tell, Eschbronn is a small community in Württemberg but has never been served by a railway. The general shape of the main building does resemble a K.W.St.E. standard design although they are usually clad in wooden planks and the Kibri model is definitely brick. The small platfom signal cabin does have the typical angled top corner windows of the Württemberg Railway's signal cabins.

Anyone any ideas where the prototype of Kibri's Eschbronn station building might be found in Germany?
