Made my final trip to weaver models today, hardest trip I ever had to make.
1. Minuteman Scale Models has bought EVERYTHING for scalecoat paint. give it about 2-3 more weeks and you will be able to buy it from them.
2. Everything in the building will be for sale including the building and property. Some of the items will be all of the railroad books weaver has bought over the many years, we saw about 100-150 books, all of the past models on display in the conference room.
3. If you are looking for tender shells, engine shells, steam chassis, there are still freight cars, but no trucks. they still do have 2 rail couplers and wheel sets, but did not see any for 3 rail.
4. They still have diesel shells in painted colors, do not know about undec shells.
5. There are no more employees there, their last day was friday 26th.
6. If you are looking for something, you better go on july 17th.
My children and I have gone every year to weaver models in june since 2002, we have made lots of memories in the last 13 years. But today was very sad, we didn't talk much on the way home knowing this was the last ride to and from Northumberland Pa.
Thanks for the memories weaver models, I will cherish all of my black boxes that has USA made freight cars and diesel engines. I am most proud of getting the Lackawanna Brass 4-8-4 Pocono made from blueprint scale drawings. Weaver models was the only one that would work with it's customers to get something made no matter who it was for.
Weaver Models is now gone, but it will never be forgotten.
