Mine came from Weaver today and it is very nice. There is a rich "old gold" roof. The lettering is very nice ,over the doors,in the same gold: BLACK HORSE BREWERY,DUNKIRK,NEW YORK. The car is black with logos on each end. Weaver did a nice job with this woodside reefer. Weaver's rendition on line does not do justice to this car

I have 4 of the Schmidts tiger ale cars. I love them!
That black & gold looks good! I have the Rose Bud Lager from Weaver on order. That now defunct brewery is just 10 mi. from where I live. I wonder if the brewery owner liked the movie 'Citizen Kane'?
Always good products from the Weaver staff there in Northumberland, PA - U.S. of A!
I've got a whole case of assorted Weaver Woodsided Beer reefers. I concur, online pictures never do justice to the real thing. I may have to add this one to the collection. Mixed with the Lionel Tobacco Railroad series, these form my infamous "Train of Sin". The last car of course is always Graves Mortuary Supply....

The Weaver "Uncle Sam Coffee" reefer that just became available looks VERY nice too! Does anyone know if "Uncle Sam," "Blackhorse" & the other named products real brands?
Black Horse Ale---most definitely. It was a very good brew as far as I was concerned. It was pretty much a Western NY brew as I remember.

As I stated earlier, Rose Bud Lager was for real. I don't know when they closed their doors for good, but I'm sure Wikipedia would know plus a whole lot more.
