I have many Weaver cars, telephone poles, locomotives and more, all the way back to Quality Craft Trains.
Sad to hear they are closing. A big loss IMO. Great service in everyway.

I agree, I have had great customer service from Weaver over the years. I am really sad to see them go. But they need to retire too.
Weaver rolling stock is what steered me to O scale as opposed to O-27 when I returned to the hobby back in 1988. I started with converting 2-rail cars to 3-rail with their separate-sale 3-rail trucks, later buying 3-rail ready to run. Now I've been converting my Weaver cars back to 2-rail. I've come full-circle. Weaver will definitely be missed.
Me too. Though most of my collection is non-scale, the scale pieces I have are mostly Weaver.
My first O scale loco was a Weaver RS2 bought at the model shop in Tehachapi in 2006 and bought back to New Zealand as carry-on luggage, it raised a few eyebrows going through the scanners.
I have have eight Weaver GP38-2s and FA-2/FB-2s and just bought another GP38-2 about a week ago. I also have a number of Weaver cars as well and they, like the locos, are great as they. Even better if like me you like to detail locos/cars (Atlas locos/cars are no different) kit bashing them is easy. The one I've just bought will be the basis of an FP40H conversion.
I'll will certainly miss them.

ME TOO! Seven Weaver locomotives of various generation. I still have at least one of the the old center drive RS's. I wonder if some arrangement will be made for parts through some other source?
P&D hobbies bought the Weaver inventory of parts for the single motor drives and even makes conversion kits to convert a center drive to an end tower drive. P&D had gotten new gears and sprockets made also.
I guess us old Weaver owners are all set. It is time for me to upgrade my very last first generation RS-3 with the legendary center drive. They were noisy, but simple!
