@Bob posted:Weaver started out in 2-rail, but for at least the last 10 or 12 years they existed, all locomotives could be ordered in 2-rail or 3-rail. Every single freight car could be ordered with 2-rail trucks and couplers, 3-rail plastic trucks and couplers or 3-rail diecast trucks and couplers. Passenger cars all came in both 2-rail and 3-rail.
To answer my own question, there were not a lot of hobby shops that carried Weaver stuff and most of those that did had very little inventory. Jim's Train Shop in Homer City, PA had the largest selection of Weaver that I ever saw in a hobby shop. The later Weaver stuff like the troop cars, Milwaukee Road ribside boxcars, B&O wagontop boxcars, etc. were really outstanding. Atlas has all of that tooling now.
Bob,
I was fortunate enough to visit JusTrains in Delaware several times before Kirk passed away. They carried a massive amount of Weaver as well as other brands. I recall buying a number of Weaver's B60 and RPOs there (and at York). That store, located in what looked like an old supermarket, was absolutely loaded. It was never the same after he died.
