If anyone knows of a train shop that has new old stock Weaver especially coal loads I'd appreciate the information. Thanks.

If you are interested in coal loads they are easy to fabricate with 1/2" foam insulation and black ballast. If you want ready made I obtained a few from Harry Hieke. Just pass along the inside dimensions of your car (s) and he makes some awesome resin cast coal loads. Contact me on my e-mail, see my profile and I can get you his contact info
Brad, sometimes Weaver loads are hard to find. I get my coal loads from Don Kane. He also makes other type of loads to fit a lot of other types of cars. Paul 2
If you are going to mention someone, you might as well tag them so there is a chance they get notified and choose to join on in with anything relevant. Simply type an "@" symbol and start typing out their username and use the auto-complete menu that pops up:
That will then tag them and it will look like this: @Beth Marshall-The Public Delivery Track; @S AND W

Two more might be P&D Hobby Shop (in Michigan) and Caboose Stop Hobbies (Cedar Falls, IA.) Caboose Stop is mostly 2-rail, but they may still have a few 3R Weaver cars and locos too.
I fill the bottom of my coal cars with black foam (from any packing material). I make the top uneven. Then I glue down a layer of woodland scenics coal, using diluted elmers. Can’t make it look more like coal, than coal.
Don Kane, for sure. His website is: https://don195657.wixsite.com/oandsloads

Try Nicholas Smith in Broomall PA, they might have some.
He still has MIB K Line as well!!
