Ok another I don't know who made it. The door hinges are unique in that they use springs. I had to replace the springs on one door because they were stretched out.

It is a very old Faller building kit, built up. The manufactures stock number is still just 3 digits. Faller still makes kits with their name on them and owned the Pola brand.

Any markings anywhere on the bottom or inside walls?
It reminds me of some later Model Power offerings, which were all made by Pola so far as I know.

There is no markings other then part numbers on 2 main parts the roof and the base. It is a large model, maybe Ben is correct that it is British made for double O.
green roof parts #2449, and base #158

I contacted catfordken , Ken was able to find the info. It would seem that the number 158 on the bottom is the Faller Kit number. I still haven't seen it in a catalog yet.

Thanks Kenny. The model has a rear building, in it were bumpers. If I am right they originally closed the doors. The engine leaving opened the doors. Faller did that with another 2 stall engine house. Rivarossi did it with their roundhouses. For some reason they switched to springs instead of hinges, and did away with the bumpers.
