Want to see how Weaver used to make rolling stock? Weaver was featured on How it’s Made episode 12 season 10 from 2008 on the science channel.
here’s a short clip from the episode.

Very interesting. I worked in plastic injection molding plant many moons ago. I made the gears for Etchasetch and glove compartments for Chrysler. It was one of the crappier jobs I've had.

WEAVER TRAINS was just 25 mile away from my house. I was up there quite a few times and also when they had their final sales. Neat place! Here is another video from our local tv station that did a piece on them. Hope you enjoy.

Great videos guys. I believe the pad printers and injection molds were sold to Lionel and Atlas and are still in use today. Lionel in North Carolina has the mechanical reefer molds and Atlas has the Bradley Pullman molds.

All very interesting to see and to know that some of the equipment shown is still in use. It's a pity that Weaver itself as shown in the videos is no longer in operation but there's some consolation in knowing production continues.
