Weight

I had bought myself a postal scale a few months ago to help with shipping my eBay sales, and thought earlier this evening to use it to weigh some of my N scale boxcars and compare them to NMRA recommendations.

A car that had been giving me some serious grief came out at just over half the recommended weight (.55 oz vs. .95 oz). Ouch! I put two large steel nuts inside it, glued them down, and it brings it almost to recommended weight. Tomorrow after everything is dry, I'll try it out on the layout.
