By late 80's had bought four Williams brass steam engine and two MTH scale diesels. That is when the Weaver scale box cars caught my eye especially since they made so many Pennsy cars. Have a total of 56 of their box cars, 33 Pennsy. Somewhere have a box of a 120 die cast Bettendorf trucks to replace the plastic ones.
The last one was this B&O round top.
The one before this was a Pennsy double door box. Both of these very highly decorated.
Oh Mark, two are Western Maryland one with the "Speed Ball."

Very impressive collection of Weaver rolling stock I would probably have as many if I would have started in O Scale when I should have I think I’m up to 10-12 cars now.
Lee at the time the Weaver cars were the best scale cars going especially for the money. Albeit the cost was lower because of the plastic trucks. I was at the local dealer one day when he was on the phone with Weaver saying that his customers would gladly pay the extra 10-dollars for die-cast. If recalling correctly Weaver told die-cast trucks for about $13 a set then.
