Reply to "Weaver Tooling for U25B"

Jim R. posted:

MTH produces several models that originated from Weaver tooling, including the Alco C628/630, the EMD SD40-2 and the GE U25B. 

I’m not sure if Weaver sold the tooling or there was some other arrangement, but it happened while Weaver was still active.

The C630 Weaver is another model that can be upgraded with not a lot of trouble.   I spent some time with LED's, this model also.   

Early issue had an interesting truck assemble, with the third axle, closest to the fuel tank, a non-powered axle, that was flange-less.  Metal wheels were a problem, on this axle, as it bounced around, sometime shorting to the third/center rail.  Later production, the blind axle, had plastic wheels.  Very good Weaver model, IMO.  Mike CT.
