AIRPORT HANGAR AP-1 1702 (not manufactured) 45986 (current) |
Until the most recent issues the Plasticville Aircraft Hangar was only available in the AP-1 single piece box that is illustrated above to the left. The catalogs show other numbers for this structure, but they were never made available to the public for purchase. In addition to the color variation listed below, there was a version that was issued in ORANGE and DARK BLUE colors that was produced for the LCCA (Lionel Collectors Club of America). |

Airport Hangar Color Variation | ||||
The normal colors for these hangars are illustrated above. The ORANGE roof version was usually reserved by Bachmann for their Airport Master Units, but in 1955 they released these colors in the AP-1 box. The doors on this structure were also changed to a DARK GRAY color. These colors are much scarcer than the blue roof versions and command higher prices due to their rarity. The DARK GRAY colored side wall doors, illustrated to the right, for this hanger are not reproduced and are needed to complete kits. |
Common Fault |
The Windsock for the Airport Hangar fits very tightly in the raised holder on the roof. If care is not taken in disassembly then it will often break, as is shown in the picture to the left. Part of the stem of the windsock is lodged in its holder on the roof. |
