Reply to "Weaver Rolling Stock and Engines Lets see them"

I have a few Weaver items......... The banner is from the sale when joe closed the factory. I believe it is the one joe used for the booth he would setup at shows. Joe could answer this better. That fall after joe closed I moved to Louisiana. Most of my weaver stuff came with me which is what you see in these pictures. The original weaver factory started in town in northumberland on Wheatley Avenue. The test shot bodies are actually from the gentleman who started doing the injection molding for Bob originally. He was located just up old route 11 from the factory beside the VFW in a little garage. He had a small machine shop and at least when I met him two molding machines; like a 125 ton vandorn and another machine which I can’t remember the size. It was honestly just a little two car garage. I can’t remember his last name, but his first name I believe was Charley? Molding was also done by Boyer machine in Northumberland as well. I believe that is where the how it’s made footage was shot. The plastic sign was actually from when joe had donated some engines and rolling stock to our local club. He had done this for other clubs as well.
