Does anyone know if Weaver Models ever produced a Rock Island 4-8-4? It was mentioned in old catalogs, which are no longer viewable now that the Weaver website has been taken down. The Weaver Gold excel spreadsheet listed it as Prod# "1708-S/L/SP/LP" with cab#'s 5112 and 5114 and manufactured in 2003. The 1987 Lionel version is definitely not scale, so I don't want to get that one. I have the Lionel Milwaukee Road S3, which is similar, but the cab and pilot are different. I would rather have a Weaver Rock Island 4-8-4 instead, 2- or 3-rail.
