O Gauge - Midland Railway Type 2B Signal Box including interior detailing pictured here. History of the Type 2B Signal Box: The Midland Railway created its own signal box design in about 1870. The first version, the Type 1, had small windows on three sides, the Type 2 appeared in 1884 and had large windows in the front. This kit is based on a 15ft Type 2B, which was first produced in 1892. They differed from the Type 2A in not having a post between the door and the windows, and being clad in narrower 3 ½ in vertical boarding instead of the earlier 6 in. The Type 3 box did not appear until 1900

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as SKYTREX (2013) LIMITED, number 08684705. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
