Was there ever a list published of the brass models Weaver did and the quantities made? Does anyone have an idea who would know this info?
Thanks

Anybody have contact info for the former Weaver owner?
Years ago a friend found online a listing of Weaver's production figures; for example the brass H-10 was @250 of each of the three road numbers produced. He, unfortunately, did not download the spreadsheet; I did but it was lost several computers ago.
Here are two spreadsheets that I have from Weaver. I don't think they list everything, but it's a start.

I will give Joe Hayter a call this week-the former owner of Weaver Trains- and ask him if there was such a list.
Hey, Bob- call me when you have a chance 609-432-2871. John
I am especially interested in the numbers of cabooses produced. I noticed on the spreadsheet that was shared it only showed the N&W and PRR cabooses. The CNR cabooses have been selling on Ebay for outrageous prices.
IMO the Weaver N5c is the best-vale rendition of the PRR prototype offered in O scale to date:
The others:
Lionel - significantly under-width car body
Grabowski - rare - hand made brass (in USA), dimensionally correct, minimal underbody detail
Sunnyside- well made but the round roof extends too deep over the car side.
Kohs- - $$$$, Trainphone model is well done - however the non-Trainphone version has a glaring error. That model incorrectly has a trainphone equipment cabinet door on one side of the car body - a good sized detail that PRR cabin cars without trainphones didn't have. A close SPF friend cleverly has addressed the issue by simply orienting the cabin car on his railroad so the incorrect side of the car always faces away from the aisle.
