Show off your 2 or 3 rail weaver models!!!

Bill T,

Do you run your Magma RS3? I have one that has never been run. I dug it out a couple of years ago and tried to run it, but the gearing is split somewhere. Any idea on who has parts for these?

Some of Weaver products are getting difficult to find for sale, like the 4-6-4 Milwaukee Hudson.  Plenty of the Atlantics, but few Hudsons.

I have been looking for the UP 4 bay high side hoppers (prod. #4902) for two years now and haven't found any yet

This is the only train item I own. Its a Weaver PS-2 covered hopper.

So many wonderful Weaver things.  Let's start with engines - see attached. 

Does anyone have a spare 2-rail tender to go with this orphaned Boston & Maine Pacific?

More engines!

And a few more engines!

But let's not forget the gorgeous, long passenger cars, baggage cars, mail cars, and rolling stock!

Better late than never ...

You can't be serious. Don't you have the MTH Jim's Train Shop building???? 

All these engines are from long gone companies. Three far ones are from K-line and the Milwaukee is Weaver. Sad to see them gone. Don

GILLY@N&W,

Thank you for reminding me. I do have that building. Hope you are doing OK.

I have a trouser load of Weaver cars. This is one of my favorite engines. It is well deserving of a PS3 upgrade from JDS Ltd. On my short list for Jeff. Currently TMCC w/ a SAW board. Runs, but nothing to brag about. The current paint job and lettering is by Walt S in RC3R. He did a great job on this one!

Cab #917 was one of the "Lost Engines of Roanoke".

You're the only train vendor my wife ever recognized. I have very fond memories of my wife calling out: "Tom, Uncle Jimmy's on the phone!!!". 

Last May I took delivery of these Weaver 20" Passenger car sets...

One of these Tuscan 3 strip sets has a corrugated roof and the car names are different.

Here are some of the B60 baggage cars that I have collected over the years.....

No pictures yet of Weavers' Alco FAs?

Can't remember where or when I bought this, just thought it was cool. 

I agree with you on B&O SD40-2 engines. Here is the one I purchased new along with the 3 in Chessie colors I purchased new when they came out a year or so prior to the blue version.

Nice !   So when did these come out ?

The Chessie engines were part of the first run that was announced in the spring of 1993 and shipped in November of 1993. The B&O engine was part of the second run that shipped in late 1995. The first run were all with the horn only, no other sounds. The second run was available as horn only or with QSI protosound. All of mine are the horn only versions.

Here is the newest addition to my Weaver fleet.

Weaver Olympia Beer reefer in 3 rail.

My time with Weaver models goes back to the days of Quality Craft kits, built with wood and metal parts. Had the chance to meet Bob Weaver personally and see his layout. I've been a resource for Weaver at times on things B&O. And, I've been a customer up to the end.

Here are a few of my Weaver models over that span of time. I'm in 2 rail, and some of them had a few changes to better match their prototypes.

Did you notice the reoccurring theme?

I also have other road names but too many to put all in this column.
