Thank you Jebb for watching, Thed gas station is the oldest, the tank cars are probably close to 15 years old. Sinclair is preety much a thing of the past so it adds nostalgia to the layout.
Late night upload! We had Sinclair inflatable dinosaurs that we took to the beach in Wildwood NJ when we were kids. Love those green tank cars. Eagerly awaiting the Christmas trains.
Yes Homer, was a last minute finish but I wanted to get it up, I have so many train things I want to do this weekend. Thank you for staying up late and watching.
Thank you Jorge. I wanted something different and little classy to operate the accessories. The idea worked out well. That gas station was the first MTH accessory I got and I really like it.
What was nice about Weaver was that he was not one of these people who just reproduced the exact Road names that Lionel came out with and nothing different. I did not mind plastic trucks and plastic Wheels because then you could use it on to real old scale as well as three rail 0 gauge.
Sorry for being late to the viewing! I love my weaver models, definitely older in todays terms of detail. But over all you can’t beat them. I have a weaver B60 in my mail train! Great car.
Thanks for watching TJ. I totally agree Weaver has some really nice stuff. They have been gone for quite awhile but in their heyday had some really cool stuff.
Very nice video, Bob. Liked your tribute to Weaver and the company's great, unique models. Always top of the line. The Sinclair Oil site is fantastic! Lots of action! A very special collection of memorabilia.
Thank you Tom, I remember the Sinclair stations as a kid. Joe Hayter and Weaver did some amazing work. I personally worked with him on several projects. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Charles, I agree I tried to add things here and there to bring it alive and tell a story besides just the trains. It changes occasionally but I keep the same basic theme.
Bob, I’ve got one piece of Right of Way rolling stock and I’ve decided that since you made a tribute video for Weaver, I’m going to make one for Right of Way.
Heard you mentioned Menards, went to my local Menards, actually 180 mi away, in Barboursville WV, they had track rolling stock and buildings galore, I did get a boxcar, Lehigh Valley, I heard of Joe read a article about him.
Joe Hayter was a class act guy in every way and I had the pleasure of doing business directly with him for years. He brought great products to market and just really was a nice guy.
Great Video Bob.! Thanks for showing your very nice accessories. I am very familiar with Sinclair as a kid living in the South.! Menards just released a Sinclair Gas Station Flat I just ordered yesterday you may be interested in? Awesome👍🏻Merry Christmas 🎄😊
I like the Sinclair gas station that m-th came out with it was a little high out of my budget and now it's considered collectible which means it's really Sky High. Sinclair dates from the time when gas is cheap, when you had gas wars in the price of gas went down. Every gas station in town gave you a Matchbox car for filling up or a free coffee mug or as in Sinclair's case you got to watch dinosaur and you got to watch it being made into machine I still have one. Back in the old days even 2 stuff they gave you away free was made in America. I love that Bob Weaver made quality toy trains and scale in America at prices that would be made in China from m-th and Lionel. Every year when they had to York train show they would have buses to take you out to take a tour of the Weaver Factory. It is a shame nobody took over Weaver train so they could be continued
Thanks for watching Frank, I actually have two of those. My friend never used his and I picked it up from him. I agree I really miss Weaver. I dealt directly with Joe Hayter and he was a first class guy.
Everybody remembers Sinclair because of the dinosaur who doesn't love dinosaurs. I love that Weaver made train in America everybody whines and cries that you can't build anything at a profitable price in America and he proved them damn wrong.
I have that Sinclair Tower I got from the dollar store for like three bucks but it's in yellow and not the Sinclair color I have two of them that I use for a construction scene.
Last time I motored on Rt. 46 East in Budd Lake, NJ there was a fueling station at the intersection of 46 and Sand Shore Rd. that was fitted out as a Sinclair Station with the green dinosaur. This was a BP and another station at one time. Weaver produced some quality items, better than Lionel. I like your telephone pole lines, you certainly put a lot of work into them. The Sinclair station was still in place as of last year. I reside in Hackettstown, but don't have much call to motor east.
Thanks for the headsup Gary, If i get up that way I will have to look for it. Yes Weaver did some amazing products over the years. they were a pleasure to deal with.
@@BobsOGaugeTrains I went online and the Sinclair station is still at 213 US Hwy 46 Budd Lake, NJ 07828 and Sinclair Oil is still a working entity. If you're up this way give me a shout, we could meet someplace for coffee.
Nice video I just bought a weaver o scale brass and diecast metal chesapeake and ohio gold edition true scale sd40-2 diesel by weaver I love weaver stuff.
I bought a weaver Alco 628 in Santa Fe from a place advertising and classic toy trains. The circuit board went out and I sent the locomotive to Weaver under warranty and Bob Weaver called me and said Frank we have not made this locomotive for 20 years. Since I had just purchased it they put a super heavy-duty circuit board in it because I am an operator. I bought a New Haven rs2 from them and the headlights fell out and because I am visually handicapped and I had trouble with it they paid for me to send it back to them they took it apart hot glue Delight back into a would not fall out again and sent it back to me post paid. That is customer service. To fix an empty a steam turbine they wanted more than what I paid for the whole train set so I told them they could keep the locomotive.
The steam turbine I refer to was made by Mike's train house it was not made by Weaver I just wanted to show the difference between the customer service between the two companies it looks like my phone left some of it out
Hi Bob, just happened to stumble across this video today as I was doing some research on Weaver models. I don’t own any currently but after watching your excellent and informative video I may just make the purchase of the Weaver Santa Fe SD40-2 I have been looking at. Again, I enjoyed this video very much….kudos to you! Great job! I will certainly be watching your other videos . 19:29
Weaver made good stuff. Such a shame they along with Right of Way Industries went out of business. Sinclair always appealed to me. They’re around but they are not that common anymore.

Mike's train House accessories showed some real toy train thinking behind them. Making them both fun new and unusual additions to your layout.
Thank you, most of mine are original Mike put alot of thought and money making a quality product.
Cool upload Bob, that carwash is awesome.. I like the setup to activate the accessories great idea..those Sinclair tankers are beautiful 😊
Thank you Jorge. I wanted something different and little classy to operate the accessories. The idea worked out well. That gas station was the first MTH accessory I got and I really like it.
The knob on the side of the cab of the crane will lower the bucket up and down

Great idea. Right of Wat Industries had some great products over the years. I would like to see it..
Hello Bob.

I love the Sinclair oil tankers.. I have an oil industry that I'm building and working on
Thank you Keith I am glad you liked them. Congrats on building your refinery. The Sinclair tank cars are from Weaver.
Great Video Bob.! Thanks for showing your very nice accessories. I am very familiar with Sinclair as a kid living in the South.! Menards just released a Sinclair Gas Station Flat I just ordered yesterday you may be interested in? Awesome👍🏻Merry Christmas 🎄😊
Thanks for the heads up Mark Im probably gonna check it out, it would be a nice addition to the train.

I remember being a little kis and seeing the dinosaur as well. Sinclair fuels was an icon.
I have that Sinclair Tower I got from the dollar store for like three bucks but it's in yellow and not the Sinclair color I have two of them that I use for a construction scene.
I got mine from A Greenberg probably about the same. Its a nice add on piece.

what a great story. You dont find customer service like that anymore. I still pick up an occasional Weaver car. They were a great asset to the hobby.

Thank you James for the compliment and view. There is alot of new stuff coming up very soon. Weaver most certainly did some great stuff in their time.
Weaver made good stuff. Such a shame they along with Right of Way Industries went out of business. Sinclair always appealed to me. They’re around but they are not that common anymore.
I agree Hunter they both were great companies. Yes the Sinclair area of my area to me is very nostalgic.
@@BobsOGaugeTrains In my opinion, Right of Way’s trains had the best whistles than any other O gauge trains.
