Reply to "Williams and Weaver RS-3 cabs interchagable?"

A while back I purchased a beautiful a Weaver Lehigh Valley RS-3 engine but I cannot run it on my layout as some curves are slightly less than the 042 that the Weaver needs to function properly on. I have read that the Williams RS-3 cabs are being made using the old Weaver RS-3 tooling.  I am wondering if the Weaver RS-3 Cab (even with slight mods) can bolt on to a Williams RS-3 frame.  Does anyone have an idea?

Dennis, that’s a very interesting question.  It’s been my understanding that the WBB RS3’s are being produced from the former K-Line RS3 tooling.  And it’s also my understanding that Lionel ended up with the Weaver RS3 tooling when Weaver sold everything off.  However, this information was just what I heard, not necessarily fact!  It would be great to get some definitive clarification from someone truly “in the know”!
