Only one: Here the Railway Express Agency boxcar has just been loaded up from a Chevy step-side pickup as it sits on a siding in front of the Ayer (MA) Junction train station.

I agree Steve.

The Model Railroader anniversary car was built by Weaver.
(The OGR Hurricane Katrina boxcar is from MTH.)
The Railroad Model Craftsman "ink tank car" was built by Weaver. I'm not sure off the top of my head who built the "Colonel Carstens Bourbon Car" coupled to it.
The Ross Custom Switches boxcar also came from Weaver.

Another recent (last week) acquisition. Converted from 3-rail to 2-rail w/Kadees. Need to add weight to the car. I wish more of these were available at lower prices. The last issues were actually more expensive than Atlas Trainman cars and the Atlas cars are actually nicer. This one was a bargain.

The Bourbon boxcar is from either KMT or Franks Roundhouse.

Well now, it is June 20 and still no photos of your layout nor any of your Weaver models.
I've been learning how to weather using mostly Weaver cars. Here are a few examples...

Well i didnt see any of your layout or weaver products either? To be honest, i dont run much weaver anymore as most is my large collection is of precision, overland, pacific limited, and custom built by lenoir, strayer, icken, white, etc..But since your doing this hobby vicariously here are some of my weaver. Excuse the boxes on some but thats where they spend most of their time. Layout will be glad to be shown, it will be finished assembled in a 60x80 building once the building is finished this end of summer. Now where are yours???

Weaver Ultraline New York Central 4-bay ACF Centerflow Covered Hopper - Road number 885904
This Weaver model will be reworked for use on a 3 rail layout. The steps and molded on brakegear will be replaced. It will have also added weight for better tracking. The finished model will be posted on OGR when completed.

You know I'm looking for the Weaver Models Scale Hiawatha Cab Number 101 (3 Rail and O-Scale). This was the Hiawatha that was seen in TM Books & Video's Toy Train Christmas Memories.
Here are a few more. Weaver OGR Commemorative cars, including one featuring OGR staff autographs:
Stumbled across this one -- a winery in Texas. Who knew? Had to have one of these. It came as a 3-rail car which I converted.
Another tank car acquisition which reminds me of a fun time in high school -- A/P Chemistry class field trip to Dow Chemicals in Torrance, California.
A couple more stock car acquisitions/conversions.
NMRA Convention car I picked up on eBay.
A Weaver special run car. It has since been 2-railed/Kadee equipped.

I missed out on Weaver as I began getting into O scale when they were going out of business. I was lucky to pick this set up on eBay for just under $700 (engine and 6 passenger cars BNIB) just before they announced they were closing! Still my best find yet and it became that much more special when I realized that they would never be making it again!
