Yes, Europeans do model New England roads! I'm modeling the B&M in 1950's. I was in search of a credible NE-depot as well and recently found it on Ebay. Blair Line's Walnut Grove Depot (#1004) is very, very Yankee. Although it's not based on a NE prototype it comes close to the characteristic wooden structures that dotted rural B&M-country.
Blair Lines's depot is a superbly detailed laser kit. Only 200 of them produced but not impossible to find on the net. I payed some 35 Dollar for it.
An alternative could be the Laserkit depots. Check their site. They have a real nice B&M/NE yardtower too.
The Atlas Maywood station is a very nice representation of a wooden depot, but not very B&M, nor NE. The planking is vertical and most of the depots in NE had the planking horizontal.
If you're modeling B&M (or MEC) and want to paint or airbrush the depot, consider Polly Scale's Milwaukee Road Maroon and Toronto Hamilton and Buffalo cream. They are a very close match.
Hope this is of any help.
