Railroad YMCA Bunkhouse

Village People Not Included. (Thank God.)

It's fun to build with the Y - M - C -A.

Okay, sorry – had to get that one out of the system.

Railroad YMCAs were a home away from home for many railroad workers.

They were part of the Young Men's Christian Association, an international organization that promoted the spiritual and mental improvement of young, working men.

Railroads financed or constructed these facilities as bunkhouses for train crews and workers living away from home while on the road.

Railroad YMCAs offered clean dormitory facilities, eateries, libraries, entertainment, spiritual education and a wholesome environment for railroad employees.

The Railroad YMCA kit is an early-1900s brick building typical of those that once housed railroad workers.

They were usually convenient to the train station or other railroad facilities.

• Suitable for early 20th century to present day
• Detailed brick work and stone trim
• Decal signs included
• Also useful as bank, small town city hall or cop shop
