First i did a search but found nothing.
Not even sure this is the right subject
some where i read there is a formula for weighting rolling stock: like 6 ounces plus one ounce for each inch.
anyone know the real formula??
does it differ for locomotives?

it should be...one ounce plus 1/2 ounce per inch of car as per NMRA standards
one thing I prefer to do is put the weights over the trucks, helps with the tracking of the car and the balance IMHO
just me Ray... and just because I have Tyco doesn't mean I am not a model railroader
