Weaver freight cars.

It was this Pennsylvania PS-2 covered hopper'

Carbon black is transferred via a closed system.  Very few models of this were made, possibly for United Carbon.

Choosing a favorite is akin to choosing which of your children you love the most.

been looking for that brown P&LE boxcar ive seen on Norm C's layout for years

Union Pacific 40' DD Express Service Box car.

I really like these Weaver MA&PA items which are hard to find

I only purchased one, they were a hot item.   TOFC

I've always had a fondness for Munich's Hofbrau Haus

I have this one too.  Always thought it was semi scale but then read it is scale, just not as tall as other freight cars.

My favorites are the Curve Beer and Altoona Lager reefers.  I have 14 of them, all different numbers, done as special runs for a great train shop in Homer City, PA.  Thanks Jim! 

I even had to build a version of Altoona Brewing Company so all those reefers would have a place to go.  This is an old photo, before the reefers were weathered.

Yes. As you've probably seen on my other thread these prototypes were shorter than standard cars and had other special features.  Outside of brass these Weaver cars are the only ones close.

Their three bay hoppers in B&A.  Boy I sure do miss Weaver.

I do like the 3 bay coal hoppers, they are my favorite

Weaver wagon tops are some of my favorite boxcars!  I sure to do miss the Weaver line.

Their TOFCs. Have a ton of them.

All of them. But mostly Grain hoppers, cement hoppers and 50ft boxcars.

Also the UP grey express cars for me. I'm not sure if the Red Caboose Texas Winery car is also Weaver but judging by the quality, I think it must be:

The 40 ft. Wooden Gondola. I repainted 3 into the Rutland which still ran them into the 50’s. Some  were used in hauling marble. I did modify the stock Weaver car by adding grab irons and different steps. Removing one rib for wheel clearance on the chassis allows for a lower ride height making the Kadee look right in the cutout for the coupler.

This one ! It was a special run for Meyers Toy Store when they were still on Rt 18 and in East Brunswick. They were made in 1987.

My two favorites are the 2 bay wood chip hoppers and the TOFC's............Paul 2
