A year  ago I decided that if no one made the cars I wanted then I would just need to make my own. I have worked with the White Pass and Yukon Route in Alaska for a number of years and even though it's 3 foot narrow gauge I decided to model at least some of it in O-gauge. I started with an engine and went from there.

A Three Stooges beer reefer would be an excellent choice.

Jimmy you made so many did you keep a list of all the ones you had made over the years. I wish I would of kept track of what I have done. I always get a laugh when I am at a train show and come across a car I have done.  I ask the history of the car the stories are something then I tell them what I know about the car.

Bill, the cars look great and SO fun to see Coeur d'Alene and Spokane represented on this forum!  Seems like its all Pennsy this and Santa Fe that.  Not that there's anything wrong with that .  Did you make your own decals?

I'm surprised that more dealers don't do custom run cars. They are great sellers. All of our custom run cars sold great. When you are the only dealer that has that car, you are in the drivers seat. We never kept a full run all to ourselves. We always offered them to other Weaver dealers. It was a wonderful time in the store when we were selling Weaver freight cars. Thom, we also did a cream colored Dubois Budweiser wood sided reefer. Some how, a picture of this car was left off the Weaver site. It was one of the last ones that we did. The car looks like
