So What are you out on the hunt from [former] Weaver Models?

Absolutely nothing. The hobby will miss Weaver, but I have nothing on my acquisition list by them.

Totally agree. However, I would like to acquire another Weaver brass N&W steam era caboose.

Models will available again down the road.

Someone bought the tooling.

An NECR GP 38-2 Conventional 3 rail

I over looked a few things which I hope I will be able to find at train shows. More flats with trailers but only certain road names, Milwaukee ribbed cars with hatches on top and some more rounded top box cars...........Paul

The ICG orange/gray GP38 I would buy.

But -

I'm one of those that when I heard "Weaver", I often as not thought "brass steam" - so much of their brass is on the list, depending on what and how much it is - and my mood.

It shows up often, and I find much of it appealing, but I have enough stuff. 

2-rail ATSF Mechanical Reefers.

Me to Brian. The hobby may miss Weaver but I certainly won't! 

Milwaukee Road rib sided caboose.

Through luck and not sense (I didn't know they were closing), a few months ago I

finally found an unlettered 2-8-0.  I had passed them up when first offered as most

were eastern roadnames, and I thought they'd do another run of western ones...didn't

happen.  I would buy another of those if it surfaced.   I don't think Weaver did

drop bottom gons, which is the one car I was hunting for a while.  They had other

steamers and cars: most steamers were eastern, only occasional cars western, so

I didn't buy much.  I had helped a friend get a set of the Weaver Pennsy E-8's when

they were big news, but nothing after that seemed to generate as much interest, except for the 2-8-0.

Any 40's era Reading Hoppers. Then again, I don't care who made them as long as they look good, are pre-1950, and are scale.

A few years back they had a 2-8-0 Norfolk & Western (Class W). I didn't buy it at the time when I should have. I also want the Interstate Coal Hoppers and the Norfolk Southern Wood Chip hoppers. Some of those nice buildings would be great as well.

I've always wanted a Little Joe, and they also imported a streamlined GTW 4-8-4. Both of those might interest me if they came available when I had the money.

The BN wood chip hoppers

Sadly I'm way late to the hobby for Weaver - whose models I seem to like best.

At the right price:

 ATSF 57' Mechanical Reefers

40' Sinclair Tank Cars

ATSF Sd40-2, GP38-2, U25b
ATSF Hoppers - really anything ATSF except 40' boxcars or stock cars.

PRR B60 baggage cars

I've got a ton of Weaver, but I'd go for some more Milwaukee Road 40' flat cars if I could find some at a reasonable price. I also kind of wish I'd bought more extra vacu-form box inserts before they closed. I've still got a lot of the old cardboard inserts and the plastic ones do a much better job of protecting the contents. 

Nothing.

Didn't Weaver make some hoppers decorated for GE Lamp division some years ago? I know that someone did. I always have thought that was a neat car.

Canadian National boxcar, Weaver # U3540.

- PRR BP20, five-stripe Tuscan

- Pullman Bradley passenger cars

- PRR C1 0-8-0

- PRR N6 Brass Cabin Cars - have a couple, would like the set

- Northwestern New England-specific items (BM, NECR and CV in particular)

South Shore Little Joe with TMCC.

Any IC Deathstar rolling stock.

Yes. I think Atlas may also have made some GE Lamp cars, but I'm not sure. 

Yes, Weaver did make a ps2 covered Hopper for GE Lamps. Originally a one shot special white box kit and a r-t-r black box reissue. I don't know if there were multiple road numbers for the black box reissue.

I'd love to have their ME Central 470 Pacific.

Outside braced boxcar #3312 or #3314 Northern Pacific.

I'd love to have a bunch of the 2 bay hoppers.  Cheap investment for a lot of accurate hoppers. 

I remember selling those G.E. PS-2 covered hoppers. Along time ago. I seem to remember they where black with white lettering.

Most weaver items you can't give away. It took me 3 months to sell a brass weaver Milwaukee Rd Hiawatha Hudson That was like new for $300.00 

Was that the Proto-1 version? There are lots and lots of those around and little demand because of the out of date electronics. On the other hand, the TMCC version is seldom seen and brings $6-700 in excellent or better condition. The TMCC version also has a Mars light, which was added to the prototype at some point. 

Would have liked to get some of their telephone poles

MTH made some drop bottom gons. A friend of mine has a ton of UP for sale.

Don

Only actively looking for one road number of the PRR oxide-colored wood chip hoppers, 3 of the PRR H30 hoppers, and a custom run outside-braced Apache Powder boxcar #1312.

I'm sure I will buy other stuff in the future as opportunity presents itself.

Andy

Passenger Train Collector,

   Brian there is nothing on your Weaver acquisition list, because you already own the Weaver Masonic Train!  Time to consider picking up another Weaver Masonic Train to run the Double Header Masonic Train with Dual cabooses!  I made a deal just recently to due exactly this.   As Andy indicates the Apache Powder Box Car is in my search pattern also.

"Most weaver items you can't give away. It took me 3 months to sell a brass weaver Milwaukee Rd Hiawatha Hudson That was like new for $300.00 "

man, you shoulda called me!!

3 rail wagon top boxcar. Preferably blue

Wagontop boxcars in 3 rail are tough to find.  I would like some more of them.  I wouldn't mind a 3 rail version of one of their Brass Lackawanna cabooses.  They seem impossible though.

If anyone ever runs across some P718 Bettendorf Truck and coupler sets let me know!

I think they made some pretty nice models that I enjoy very much.

If you call Weaver, Joe may still have some trucks left. Folks who were buying rolling stock on Saturday were getting trucks and screws separate to install buy purchaser.
