Any good tips for adding weight to empty flats or is that a car that needs a speed restriction.
On cars that have a metal weight already in them (like the Athearn Blue Box), I replace the provided steel weight with a sheet of lead. 4x the weight in the same amount of space. Lead is pretty malleable so you can press/beat it into pretty thin sheets.Any good tips for adding weight to empty flats or is that a car that needs a speed restriction.
You could do what a friend of mine and I did. We split the cost of a bag of shot. Maybe you and a few of your friends could do the same. That would bring the cost down to a more manageable cost level.
