I'm receiving a 5 car set of Weaver aluminum cars later this week and am curious to find out more about them. Years ago (early 1990s) when I had my shop, Weaver and Williams both made some nice 20" aluminum cars in 5 cars sets that were fairly 'primitive' by modern standards. These that I have purchased are from around 1999 and have full interiors, passenger figures, and LED lighting.

In this Northern Pacific set there are no domes but Weaver evidently produced some (2?) separate sale dome cars for it. Can anyone here provide some additional information on these later Weaver production cars?  I've never seen any that I'm aware of.

Also, would anyone have the NP domes or could provide a lead to them?  Here are some pics from the seller.

Thanks

Sam, in 2000 Weaver offered 2-car add-on dome sets for their NP and GN five car sets produced the year before. I don't recall the catalog number for the NP dome set but for the GN dome set it was G-1612-L (for the three rail version) so the number for the NP set should be something close to that.  (I did have the NP set but sold it in 2003. I still have the GN set.)  I think the MSRP was around $240 at the time.  

I hope this helps. Jim Rawlings here on the forum bought and sold these cars a few years ago and he might recall more details if you contact him.  Good Luck!
