Looks Like a Flyer Station
Posted by Mononflyer on Friday, January 3, 2014 7:59 PM

Hey All,

I have this station that my Uncle had.  It looks like a flyer station, but there are no decals or labels on it, and I can't find it in any flyer literature.  Anyone know what it is?

I think that you have an early station by Weaver.  I seem to remember an interview in one of Bob's Train Box that shows it.  I have one similar to it, but I have it mated with a roof from Flyer.

Do you know when it could have been manufactured?  My uncle had it with his Royal Blue train set that was in the attic.  He got it in 1950 or 1951.

Hey Bob!

Didn't someone from CTT interview the head of Weaver trains on a video at some point? He displayed one of these stations, but I can't remember where I saw the video.
