Need a ID confirmation. Is this a 2A Engine Shed and is 1934 the correct year? How long did it stay in production?

thanks

Steve

Weaver Models just announced a very similar shed for sale!

Yes, that appears to be a 2A, and they were catalogued through November, 1941. They were not produced after the war, per the book by the Graebes, the Hornby O Gauge System. The original No. 2 was issued in 1928, but the 2A sheds, with the green floor, were produced in 1933, and first catalogued in 1934.

More trivia for you Steve

The 2A with green base, blue ridge tiles, and inside of doors printed was produced in 1934-35

The 2A with green base, yellow ridge tiles, and inside of doors plain was in production from 1935-1941.

Neither was produced after the war.
