Weaver Pullman troop sleepers

Weaver has canceled the project.

I just saw this on their website.  I expect that they didn't get the necessary pre-orders.

Word is that the builder required a large minimum number of cars in the run, more than were in the first run.

 I sent a couple frames back to Weaver for replacements. They no longer have any in stock. Was hoping for another run as I have a couple more in need of the die cast frames. 

Dave C,

   As most know I am a big Weaver fan and usually purchase something from them every year, made in America means a great deal to me.  I wanted the military rolling stock but Weaver made a mistake with this one, starting the cost at $90.00 plus after tax, per car.   Wish they would have made this offer at a more reasonable rate, they would have achieved their pre-order mark.  I did pick up the MENARDS flat car with tank, to add to my SF train.  The cost was more than fair on that car, and I will probably order a couple more.

Well nutz. I'm really glad that I picked up an earlier version of the N&W REA Express car on eBay! Guess I'll move my preorder to another car.

Weaver has recently sent out email notifications about an Army flatcar transport van.  I contacted them about the built date since it was a 50's year in the picture.  It is supposed to be a D-Day commemorative issue.  They said that the built date will be a WWII time frame when I contacted them.

So, I ordered one.  I also ordered the REA car that should match the Army colors.  It didn't say "out of stock" is "discontinued".
