Thanks,

 

Fred

nice...

 

can order them in 2 rail

Yes indeed to both questions! All Weaver cars have die cast trucks and couplers and they are available in 2 rail! However please give us a call if you want them in 2 rail so we can put your name down for them. We don't get much demand for 2 rail but if you let us know we will be sure to get them for you!

Is this a store exclusive?

Great looking cars, I'll take a couple.. Give you a call soon. 

They are exclusive in that we came up with the idea and part of the design for Weaver to use.

Those are very nice looking cars.  How appropriate to announce on D Day.

Just ordered two from Stockyard Express.

Just ordered my two. they will go great with my military train.

I do not collect or have any Army trains, but I guess I will have one now. Great looking car and truck!

Ick.  Any similarities between these cars with their loads and real railroad cars and loads in the WW2 is purely coincidental. Almost all the markings (and the flat) are modern era. And the trailer is marked about as accruate as 'Made by ACME' stuff is in cartoons...

The white with red cross on roof were there so "our" plane's would not bomb them.  It didn't always work. 

 

Great looking car, I have to call Stockyard Express and order a couple for my Army train.  I hope they are open on Saturdays.

Wowl  I have to order this to go with the Army medical train that came with my recent MTH ATSF Hudson 3465.  It would be perfect for it!

 

What you so much.  I was unaware.  This has gone into the budget plan!

We are indeed open Saturdays from 11 to 5! And yes we have the Santa Fe Troop Train as well and think that these will look great with it!

Really nice addition to those who collect military trains.

Is the Santa Fe troop train a Weaver item?

No, its an MTH product.  comes with a absolute jewel of a Premier ATSF  Hudson, a reefer car, three hospital cars.  Here is my thread after getting mine.

I was on a road trip from Philly to Sandusky, OH, and found that Stockyard Express is only about 30 min from my destination, so I stopped by.  WOW, what a nice shop and quite out of the way!   I found myself in the middle of farm fields, but GPS got me there just fine.  Also a very nice group of folks, very helpful.  I picked up a PRR TOFC from MTH and Pennsy GP9 RK scale dummy.  They had many examples of various military loads on flatcars including an M3 Lee that was fabulous but not for sale.  The proprietor said he'd planned to offer them in the future.  Wish I took a picture!   If I lived in Ohio this shop would become a steady supplier.  If your travels take you on the Ohio Turnpike I highly recommend you take the quick detour to Stockyard Express.

Thank you very much Mr. Nichols! We are pleased to know you enjoyed your visit to us!  

 

 

Good looking cars, solved the issue of what to tell the wife I'd like for Christmas. She'll be giving you a call next week, I'm sure!

Talk her into at least a pair!

I would like one in 2 rail, was on your website and can't find the pre-order.

He's not selling the trestle.  Try to keep up.

Nice looking car, but, can anyone tell me why the star on the front end of the trailer does not have its point at the 12 o'clock position? 

 

Thank YOU sir.  And it's Chris.  Was the M3 Lee a 1/48 or 1/35 scale piece?   It seems hard to find a 1/48 Lee/Grant, and the one you had seemed big for the flatcar, and bigger than most M4 Shermans that normally come as flatcar loads.

I wonder if it's just a prototype and something they can change before go to full production.

       
       


As of this time you cannot order directly off our website. You can call us during store hours to order the 2 rail version.

       
       


This is the prototype version of the car. Thank you for noticing that we will be sure to make sure that it is changed.

       
       

Chris-right now I can't say for sure if the tank is 1:48 or 1:35 without standing in front of it. I will check it on Tuesday an let you know for sure!

I would love to have a few Lee tanks in 1:48, as you can imagine. 

 

As far as I know, all the M3 Lee kits are 1:35 or 1:32 (Tamiya, Dragon, Academy,Classic Armor) of 1:72 (Forces of Valor, and some others).  I think Solido made a 1:35 diecast way back when.  I have never found any 1:50 Corgi models of it.

 

I've though of bashing one from a Tamiya Sherman kit - I think I still have one of those unopened, but it's a project that I would not get to for a long time, so I keep looking. 

There are some 1/48 M3's for sale on the 'bay.

That is a diorama at Weaver for taking photos. I've used it a time or two myself.

Everything doesn't have to have a prototype, and as I've learned, there are some surprises when it comes to prototype.

Don

Here's a source for 1/48 (resin I think) tanks.  Vendor's in England though.

Interesting. Trailer looks WW2-ish.

Too bad the Flats are so modern.

Hello all! Good news the star issue has been resolved and the points will be in the right direction on all of the production models. The car in the photos is the pre-production sample.

here is a WW2 trailer

 

Are you going to do this truck as well . its more closely a WW2 medical truck.
