I saw Some Cool Weaver Steam Engines last week

These were at Sommerfeld's Trains in Butler ,WI

My guess they came from someone's estate .

I thought I recognized the display case. I have not been there in few years, I do miss going there when I worked in Milwaukee.

All of those locos were pre-tmcc weaver brass units. Early to mid-90’s. I believe QSI sounds were optional on all. They are very nice running conventional locos that can be had at very reasonable dollars.

It looks like Jack took in a bunch of streamliners from a Weaver collector.

The blue one is based on the Blue Goose, a one-off paint scheme Santa Fe employed in the streamline era. Only the No. 3460 Hudson was painted as such. Matching streamline cars were reportedly considered but never produced. MTH also modeled this engine and produced matching passenger cars.

The Pennsy, of course, is streamlined K4s known as the Torpedo.

Jot down the road name and engine numbers of the other two and do a Google search if you want information on them.

If you are asking how they run, pretty much like all Weaver brass steamers. Plenty of forum information and reviews online with that info.

Thanks Jim

The one on the right is the Tennessean; I bought one last year in a Stout auction.

This is the Weaver Blue Goose loco, number 3460. Information and screenshot of info page here is from this website:

I put ERR Cruise Commander and RS in my Tennessean. Runs like buttah, as they say. It should - they were built by Samhongsa.

The only Southern Rwy Ps-4 Pacific to be streamlined, they were designed by Otto Kuhler (who also did the LV John Wilkes, etc.; they favor). They it was done to pull the N&W/SOU Tennessean streamliner, and they had to run on N&W rails for a bit of the route. The N&W literally did not allow diesels on their tracks at that time (the SOU ran their section of the train behind diesels), so this steamer was slicked up to fit in. The N&W section was pulled by a N&W J.

I feel that this locomotive's looks put it in the top group of streamlined N. American steam - only behind the NYC Century and ESE Hudsons, and the N&W J 4-8-4's. The tender treatment looks especially modern.

The Tennessean is a tasteful job of streamlining.

I've also got the Weaver C&NW Yellow Jacket 4-6-2; the Weaver B&O Cincinnatian 4-6-3 Pacific; and the Weaver GT Western 4-8-4 Northern, part if my collection of streamlined steam engines. These:

Indeed; I'm guessing most of my O gauge (as opposed to "scale") steamers were "built by Samhongsa"...and all are fine runners. 🙂
