I don't know anyone from Weaver but I wish them well in the future.
I have numerous Weaver freight cars on my Railroad (to many to count!) I have always liked them because we handle the cars off and on the BRHRR many times during a session and they stay together.
I have just managed to buy four US Army boxcars direct from Weaver last month most of my cars I bought from them direct and the service was superb never had a problem with them that is important for me as I live in West Australia you don't want any stuff ups with an order!
I'm really sad to see them go.
With the moulds it can be very expensive to store them not only the cost of floor space but they must be thoroughly protected from the slightest moisture contamination on the mould surface themselves otherwise if rust gets on the surface it shows on the item being moulded many moulds have been scrapped because of this.
Anyway Congratulations Weaver on a job well done over the years it's not always been easy but what business is.
Neville from West Australia
