Did you see a lot of Weaver trains at the show? Were you lucky enough to purchase some Weaver items?

Only got through about a quarter of the show today (going back tomorrow). I did not see a lot of Weaver. However, I did get a good deal on a Chessie ACF centerflow covered hopper in one of the member halls.
Trainz had a ton of Mew Haven Weaver steam.

Surprising to me. I look at Trainz several times a week and haven't seen any Weaver New Haven steamers. Which types (I-4 Pacific, I-5 Streamlined Hudson) and what prices?

It looked liked two of each when I walked through........which to me is a ton since I hadn't seen one in a while.....I picked up the box of one of the I-5's. with TMCC and RS......and, put it down......it was too early for me to do an impulse buy......it was $1008......which seemed a strange number to me.....which I might have paid given the scarcity......but then, I would have to go down the Bradley car rabbit hole......so, I bolted.

I scored a beautiful Weaver five car Hiawatha set today.

A good acquaintance of ours ( who you know very well, but shall remain anonymous ) has sucked up the world’s supply of I5’s ……😁

Weaver was well represented among members and vendors. As stated above, Trainz had a decent amount- Pullman Bradley’s Green and Black Knight, ribbed and smooth sided single car Hiawatha add ons, assorted freight cars, I-4, I-5, Little Joe is what I can recall.
Thank you, to everyone that responded to my question pertaining to Weaver Trains at York.
Got a bunch of weaver this York Jim. Some are runs that were done by you!
NSRailfan100,
Glad you were able to find some Weaver freight cars. Happy to hear some of cars were some of our custom runs. Hope you have a safe trip home.
Lots of Weaver still being sold at the show. Saw a very cool Freeburg Fire Company set.
I’m still searching for the rest of the Western Maryland woodchip hoppers and TOFC and the B&O wagon top in WM red.
Several years ago I purchased a few the Western Maryland Historical Society’s custom runs that Weaver made.
If anyone recalls the names of the dealers I would like to reach out to them to see Weaver Western Maryland items that have? I know Trainz and Beth at The Public Delivery Track have Weaver products and I search their websites every now and then.

Did Weaver make all their rolling stock at their Northumberland,PA location?
Some the boxes I have don’t say one way or the other?

I picked up 1 Weaver boxcar at the bandit meets, and 3 of your custom PRR boxcars boxcars at the meet, Jim. I did see a good bit of Weaver, but it was really spread out.
