Show off your 2 or 3 rail weaver models!!!

As a New Haven fan Weaver came though big time with the I4 and I5 steamers as well as the Bradley coaches. Pictured here is the I4 Pacific with a consist of Weaver baggage cars and coaches. Both steamers went back for minor repairs. One my own doing. Talked to Gary over the phone as to what was going on with them. You couldn't beat them for service. They surely will be missed.

 I have had a lot of Weaver models over the years, here's some of my favorites...DaveB

Here's a Pullman-Bradley car I corrected the windows for a Seaboard car:

I have another (thanks again Mike!) but haven't done anyting with it yet.

These are/were well built models, sorry to see it end so soon (for me that is).

Here are mine.

I own 11 of these (10 different numbers).

I own 4 of these (all different numbers).

Unfortunately, I own only one of each of the following

All have been upgraded with command control, and all are great running engines.  I will miss Weaver.

I'll post some pics soon. I have 9 years worth of club cars totaling thirty nine, going back to April of 07. Some are three car sets, and some are six.I have posted several to one thread or another in the past. Each was modeled after a fallen flag from a different part of the country. Members of our group helped in the selection and design process, including dedicated or humorous text specific to our group. I have had a great relationship with all the folks at Weaver, making many trips down, to work out details for our cars, or to drop off various loads, or to pick some engines or rolling stock. It's been great Joe, Gary, Peg, Suzy, Cathy, Todd, Luchia, Kelly, and anyone I may have missed. All the best.

I've come full-circle with Weaver. When I started with Weaver products, they came 2-rail and I had to convert them to 3-rail. Now when I get them, they're 3-rail and I'm converting them to 2-rail. Kind of ironic in a way.

This one arrived yesterday. Won it on eBay last week.

Two of six Weaver 57-foot Mechanical Reefers I had two-railed. Installed the appropriate Weaver-supplied shock-control couplers. I just ordered five more sets of couplers even though I don't have the cars to put them on yet.

Four Weaver 40-foot frameless tank cars -- "Sinclair Oils". Switched over the 2-rail wheels and Kadee couplers.

OGR Commemorative cars, one autographed by the OGR staff. All switched over to 2-rail wheels and Kadee couplers.

I have several more cars for which I don't have photos handy -- probably about 30-40 more in boxes at home. They're mostly hopper cars -- ACF center flow hoppers (the first ones I bought), PS2's and high-side PS4427 grain hoppers with a few Stock cars. I donated a couple dozen cars to the club layout several years ago because I wasn't using them, so they're now layout rolling stock that the members use when they want to run but don't feel like hauling a bunch of cars down.

When the first posts regarding Weaver closing appeared here on the forum I started to post these pictures on the "Glad it didn't sell" thread.  I tried to sell all of these cars in the past and probably still will but I will wait a while to see if they become instant collectables.    

Here are a few. Looking through my photos, I'm surprised at how few Weaver pictures there are, as I have a lot of Weaver locomotives and rolling stock.

Milwaukee Road S3 Northern with K-Line express reefers and heavyweight passenger cars. Weaver made this brass Northern several years before Lionel came out with the Legacy version.

Top: Weaver Little Joe with K-Line Passenger Train.  Second Shelf: Weaver Hiawatha Atlantic with Matching Weaver Scale Cars.  Third Shelf: MTH Hiawatha 4-6-4 with Weaver Scale Passenger Cars.

Three views of the Weaver F6a Hudson, which I consider the best brass engine in my collection. Cars in the third photo are MTH.

I have a couple Weaver freight cars. I'll post some pictures tommorrow...

I've just started collecting trains -  most of my introduction has come courtesy of Weaver - great mix of detail-durability-scale.  I've picked up several 57' Reefers and plan to acquire more - if possible.  Recently I walked into a pile of woodside beer reefers -  can't wait to find more:

Weaver made some very nice steamliners! See here the SF Blue Goose, the UP 49er and NYC Hudson

Here's about 75 hoppers all Weaver and all different  numbers .

I love my Weaver Models Grand Trunk Western 4-8-4 U4b Northern. It's a beautiful model of a beautiful locomotive.

Thanks for doing this one for me, Joe.
