Here is rare Weaver hopper !  Far as I know only five where built.

Lee Drennen,

Some great cars on your layout. '55 Olds was a favorite.

MELGAR

Thanks Mel going have to get a manifest of just weaver cars soon 

Jim. Thanks for posting. I really like that  International covered hopper I never knew they made that one that is one beautiful car 

Clem. Thanks for posting. That’s a nice car I would hang on to that one. 

Here is some varnish and engines for your enjoyment.

Guys

thanks for posting just beautiful this is what I was targeting for keep the post coming for all of us Weaver Fans to enjoy 

Here are some examples of Weaver rolling stock from my railroad.  Some I've weathered some not.   I have about 10 or more Weaver 50 ton hoppers in N&W, B&O, Reading, Western Md., and Pennsy.  Could only find photos of the one Reading 50 ton.

Here is another favorite of mine. Not sure if this is a Weaver Crown or just Crown Model Products.

I have several Weaver cars from a club car custom run program on another forum. Weaver makes up the majority of my rolling stock collection. The Conrail H30 hopper was given to me by Joe Hayter as a thank you for filling in at the product introduction at the TCA Museum. Our club cars featured fallen flag roads, and tongue in cheek text specific to our forum.

Guys

Some great looking Weaver Power units as well as that beautiful Rolling Stock. I didn’t know Weaver made so many different Steam Engines. Great Job!!

Here's another Weaver steam engine...a brass 0-6-0 switcher factory weathered by the folks at Weaver long before I started to do my own work.

And here are a few Weaver 40' box cars that I "3-rail-scaled" and weathered...

This shows there are a lot of Weaver fans out there. I'll have to post a few of my favorites when I get a chance. CLEM K your pic could be a crown model. Do you have the original packaging.  When Weaver purchased the tooling from Crown Models they did offer a number of the same cars Crown Models produced...........Paul

Some more models from Weaver, I really enjoy the quality of those brass models and they can be purchased for a very fair price.

Daniel

In the late mid-80's rolled back to O-gauge buying stuff use-to going back to the late 40's.  Lionel remakes of 6464's and K-Line's versions.  By late 80's had bought four Williams brass steam engine and two MTH scale diesels.  That is when the Weaver scale box cars caught my eye especially since they made so many Pennsy cars.  Have a total of 56 of their box cars, 33 Pennsy.  Somewhere have a box of a 120 die cast Bettendorf trucks to replace the plastic ones.

The last one was this B&O round top.

The one before this was a Pennsy double door box.  Both of these very highly decorated.

Oh Mark, two are Western Maryland one with the "Speed Ball."

Ron

My two favorites are the Lehigh Valley John Wilkes and the Black Diamond

John Wilkes

Black Diamond

I only have a couple of their locos, both of which I've shown before, but what the heck: 

These both came to me as 3 rail engines; since that was before I started dabbling in "high rail", I purchased the conversion kits from NorthWest ShortLine and now they are set up for 2 rail. These are the earlier design with the centrally located can motor with shaft drive. Both run very well; nice and quiet.

Thanks for posting your beautiful collection you did an awesome job on Weathering  those boxcars.

This was my first Weaver piece.  It  was a  undecorated 35’ piggyback trailer I painted it and custom-made the Pennsylvania railroad decals on my computer.

Lee at the time the Weaver cars were the best scale cars going especially  for the money.  Albeit the cost was lower because of the plastic trucks.  I was at the local dealer one day when he was on the phone with Weaver saying that his customers would gladly pay the extra 10-dollars for die-cast.  If recalling correctly Weaver told die-cast trucks for about $13 a set then.

These were sitting on the attic layout. I have more but they are all under the tables. Pics............Paul

I sure wouldn’t mind finding another #28057 custom run Mechandise Service Boxcar with the return to Jeannette Gass on it. I grew up in Jeannette PA, the Glass City, and knew plenty of people who worked at Jeannette Glass. 

Dave

Lee Drennen,

Thank you for that information. 

Greg M. Yes, that was one of my custom run cars.

NC Dave,

I believe Weaver did 150 of those box cars with Jeannette Glass Jeannette, PA and 150 with Westmoreland Glass Grapeville, PA. I think each car was done in three numbers.

 So Jim I have one of your custom made cars that Weaver did for you correct? it’s one of my favorite pieces now that I know that  I will definitely will take extra care of it.

This was my first “decorated” Weaver piece I bought. I was planning on getting more different trailers the next week after I received this one but they had already announced they were closing and the supplier I bought this from in St.Louis was out of town and he didn’t place my order in time and I lost out from there it seemed like the price of Weaver Models sored on the internet but l was a  patient grasshopper 

Here are some of my favorite Weaver pieces.

A couple more of my favorite custom run Weaver cars.

I have 3 diesels, 2 steam engines, about 40 freight cars and 1 passenger car left. I had 15 engines, 89 freight cars and 5 passenger cars. My heart died for O scale when Weaver closed, I took my kids up every year for 13 years. Last trip was just Joe there, we left with our heads down and said goodbye. That was the quiet ride home.....

Thanks for great memories Weaver Models.....

Nice trip down memory lane great pics. Thanks.

Joe

Tom. Thanks for stopping by and posting some great look cars and I like that RS power unit 

Jim.  Thanks again for posting some more of your beautiful cars I’m glad I got to  acquire one of your custom run cars 

Pete. Thanks for posting. I felt the same way when I heard that Weaver was closing I went back to HO but I left my heart in O Scale after a year or so of struggling in HO I gave O Scale another try and it’s been great, stay in there my friend I’ve found that getting active on this forum helps me and motivates me to work more in this scale. There some great people here to support your hobby. 

Joe. I’m glad I started this thread I’m learning a lot about Weaver and there history glad I can take you down memory lane 

This is the only Weaver Hopper car I have for now 

Lee- great thread you started here. Lot's of great stuff. I will have to keep my eye out for some of these pieces.

Bob

I have a 2 Weaver engines, both RS units in Army livery with TMCC. Here is one....

Weaver engines with TMCC were a great value.....I'd love to know where the light consolidation molds went.....I never got around to getting one.....

What I also loved about Weaver engines was the packing...it was fantastic! I always would say that one would be fortunate to be buried in a Weaver box.....

I have a few TOFCs and army flats that I have put loads on and 2 box cars, both of which I treasure.....

A B&O round roof box car and a Delta Lines box car....Here's a pic of the Delta Lines car....it happens to be out on the layout....

Peter

Awesome thread. I miss Weaver. I have 47 of the "coal goes to war" PRR 2 bay hoppers from Jims train shop. I am always looking for road #'s that I don't have. If anyone out there has any for sale, let Me know. Also, does anyone know how I access the complete list of freight cars that Weaver ever made. I have seen this list in the past, but now I cant seem to locate it now.

How It's Made on the Science Channel did an episode on model trains, and they took all the video from the Weaver Factory here in the US:

Open coal hoppers by Weaver. Some I've weathered some not yet. 

Freight cars by Weaver. B & O hopper came lightly weathered.  Charlie

I may have two custom run cars from Jim's Train Shop.  I remember purchasing this Curve Beer Reefer (phone order) when Jim was closing his shop.  It is numbered 1602 while the illustration posted by Jim previously is 1603.

Here are a few pictures of the Coal Goes to War hopper car mentioned previously. Purchased it and the coal load during one of our visits to Jim's store many years ago.

The coal load was from Blue Mountain Hobbies.

Peter. Thanks for stopping by and posting great looking Weaver power and rolling stock.

JINI5. Glad you enjoy this thread. Do you have any pics for your Weaver Models  you can post?

Allen. Great video thanks for sharing I liked it.

Ron. Do you have any pics of your car? I would like to see it

Patrick. Great looking Hoppers nice weathering too I just got some more Hoppers the other day in the mail hope to get some pics of them soon. Thanks for posting. 

Most of the cars I did were done in three numbers. The hopper cars were done in twelve numbers.

In my thirty years in business, Joe Hayter was the nicest man I meant. Him and his staff would do anything for you.

Todd, the painter, holding he last custom run car. A group photo with all the gang at Weaver Models with me on the left end. A lot of great memories. 

Most of what I still have, still some in other boxes yet to be dug out.

Weaver rolling stock had enough detail and was reasonably priced.  Truck design allowed for cars to sit lower than other mfrs. woodside reefers, boxcars, hoppers of all designs.

Rail.  Thanks for posting those pics at Weaver nice pics but very sad.

Pete. Thanks for more pics of your collection. I like the Western Maryland FA the best

Joe.  You are right for 3 rail the sit low for that right look and the were affordable. Thanks for stopping and posting some pics 

Here’s a few more from my collection. The Rio Grande “Cookie Box” is my favorite in this set of pics

I've got more, just no pictures right now.  I'll be back again.

Joe. That’s ok I hope this post will still be here whe you get some more.

Rail. Thanks for the info and that’s a nice pic of the Switcher. Is the old Weaver building still there just wondering. 

The thing I like most about Weaver open hoppers, is that no matter the style, the inside dimensions were the same. No need to make several different bases for coal loads like Lionel MTH and Atlas. I started making loads for Weaver 2 bay hoppers for a club car project in 2011. Our group did a Reading 2 bay hopper.

I had a hard time finding it the first time I went down. Here is another pic of the switcher. I thought I had pics of the other one.

I've been selling off my scale size stuff.   But I'm keeping these two Weaver boxcars.

I'm not sure of the exact number of the Moxie cars made.   Probably around 150 to 200.

I can't remember either, but for some reason, 150 is stuck in my mind.

I bought this the other day I will post pics of it on the layout later 

Hard to know where to begin - or to end - with Weaver.  I always put off doing the factory tour for another year - big mistake!  A great loss to the hobby.  We were fortunate to have them for many years, and many beautiful engines, passenger cars, rolling stock, buildings ...

David

I have a few Weaver items......... The banner is from the sale when joe closed the factory. I believe it is the one joe used for the booth he would setup at shows. Joe could answer this better. That fall after joe closed I moved to Louisiana. Most of my weaver stuff came with me which is what you see in these pictures. The original weaver factory started in town in northumberland on Wheatley Avenue. The test shot bodies are actually from the gentleman who started doing the injection molding for Bob originally. He was located just up old route 11 from the factory beside the VFW in a little garage. He had a small machine shop and at least when I met him two molding machines; like a 125 ton vandorn and another machine which I can’t remember the size. It was honestly just a little two car garage. I can’t remember his last name, but his first name I believe was Charley? Molding was also done by Boyer machine in Northumberland as well. I believe that is where the how it’s made footage was shot. The plastic sign was actually from when joe had donated some engines and rolling stock to our local club. He had done this for other clubs as well.

Dave. Thanks for posting very beautiful pieces. I never knew they made so many switchers.

Ryan. Thanks for more information on Weaver I really appreciate it and thanks for posting your Weaver collection 

A couple more custom run cars. 

Here are pictures of some more of my collection. 

PRRRONBH,

I think you might have a silver PRR Express reefer that Weaver did for me with red and black printing. I had the car done with four famous PRR passenger train names. I think the names on the cars were, The Broadway Limited, The Red Arrow, The Duquesne. and GG-1 Service. Each car, had three different town names on it were the train stopped. Like Jeannette, Greensburg, and Latrobe. Another one had  and Torrance, Bolivar and Johnstown. The Red Arrow had names Cresson, Gallitzin and Altoona. The GG-1 Service one had Harrisburg, Lancaster and Philadelphia. Sorry, But I do not have a picture of this express reefer.

Hello Jim, it has been a while.  I think the last time we spoke is when I ordered my DAP NS ABBA OCS f-units and An UP 9000,

No these two cars I have are defiantly not reefers!  They are from the same molds as the Weaver PRR Merchantise  car you had made with box car doors and all my other 50 some Weaver box cars.  Plus I do have three Weaver steel body reefers so have a direct comparison.

Have not found any prototype  pictures.  But surmise that just maybe  Pennsy actually did this in the early 50's when SS passenger consist came in.  These may have been paint to somewhat the SS cars.  Silver bodies with the red band for front end "Express Service", only a guess.

Ron

Ron,

The cars, I mentioned were done on box car bodies. I would bet this is what you have.

One of the last sets of Weaver, I purchased from Jim   Yellow dots are Weaver Cars.  Without the yellow dot, also Weaver un-decorated, with Dry-transfer decals. 

Some of the coal loads are also Weaver. 

The locomotive is MTH; the cars are Weaver. Two are OGR commemorative cars I recently acquired and 2-railed, while the one on the end is an unusual one I picked up as an un-built Weaver kit about a year ago. I had been doing some track testing and sat them here temporarily as some visitors were curious about the OGR cars and UP1943.

Some great looking stuff you guys are posting. Thanks for taking the time to post your pics.

My wife and I went on the Weaver tour back in 2004.  Here is a picture of the special tour car we picked up during our visit to the factory.

This St. Mary's Brewing Co. car was in the process of being decorated while we were touring the factory.  We liked this car but we were told it wasn't available yet.  So of course when it became available we bought one.  Maybe from Jim's Train Shop?

Some time later at a train show the 2003 tour car was for sale.  Bought it too.  One of those purchases that later on you wonder why.

I have now posted pictures of all the Weaver cars I currently have.  There were others, but they were sold.

Old video of grain train with mostly Weaver grain cars. 

One of the best engines on my roster is the Weaver Milwaukee Road 4-6-4 Baltic.  It is the smoothest and finest runner.  I LOVE it.  I also have a Weaver NYC 0-6-0, Reading 4-6-2, A C&NW 2-8-0, Milwaukee 4-4-2, all great engines.  ODD-D

A couple of my favorites.  Recently picked up the B&O 50' boxcar.  Always got a kick out of the Apache Powder Co. boxcar.

I also have two all silver PRR box cars from Weaver, have you seen them?

Ron,

I sold cars to other dealers. Without seeing a picture of your all silver box cars I can't say for sure. Petersen Supply Co. and Buffalo Graphics did a lot of custom run cars from Weaver.
