Hello Everyone:

I don't own many items made by Weaver but i'm looking to purchase a Weaver NE-5 caboose that's missing one of the four molded steps on the corners.  The item I'm looking at is similar to this one shown elsewhere on the OGR forum.

Is there a go-to resource that folks use for Weaver parts?  Or should I visit "the usual suspects" (e.g., S&W, Train Tender, et al)?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I doubt the usual sources for Lionel parts acquired Weaver parts. I know Lionel acquired many of their cars but are releasing virtually no parts. Scale City has some steps or you may have to fab some using a broken car made by someone else.

I have made molds of good steps from a passenger car, then cast them in resin to replace broken ones.

Steven,

This kind of request has come up in the past.

Here's a link to one of the previous posts:

Hi Mike:

I did see that post but it only contained a reference to a possible source from circa 2015.   I didn't want to call the phone number listed in the post because I couldn't find any cross references to the business on Google and I didn't want to disturb a private individual so many years after the fact.

There was also a more recent post on this subject but people replied with statements like "I have seen him at 2-rail shows in Indianapolis and Cleveland with tables of them. I don't have contact information."   I thought it might be time to refresh the topic.
