Brooklin Blog — diaries

The Ford Richmond Assembly Plant in Richmond, California, was the largest assembly plant to be built on the West Coast. It was first opened on August 1, 1931, replacing an older facility across the Bay in San Francisco.

This is the second model released by Brooklin (BRK2) and was made in several varieties with many color variations. The first casting (C) was produced in Canada in 1975 with 14 pieces in maroon with no windows. They were followed by several shades of dark blue without windows, then by a dark blue metallic with windows and a very bright orange red. These were rather rough castings and the model...
