Wow, tore the layout down and stepped away from the hobby for several months to move from Illinois to Wisconsin. Now, just tried to join the 2015 Weaver Club as I do every year and O MY GOSH they closed shop 
I joined their club every year and started ordering extra cars over the past several years. My favorite thing about Weaver was, unlike all of the other O Gauge companies, I LOVED the fresh smell of paint when I opened every car I ordered!!!! I will always remember that custom small U.S. shop smell of fresh paint. This was a classic small business in America that is the backbone of who we are as a country! We need more guys like Joe H. to take personal risk, create jobs and keep making America great.
The cool thing about our hobby is there are a lot of great guys like Joe that run small businesses and are passionate about what they do. Mike Wolf was and is one of the greats. I hope MTH and Lionel and Williams and Scenic Express and Ross Custom Switches and Miller Engineering and all the mom and pop hobby shops across America, whose entrepreneurial founders took great personal risks, continue to survive and prosper!
Long live the World's Greatest Hobby!
Mike
