So, I'm sure everyone's had a problem with light-weight train cars at some point or another. I just tried putting pennies into an IHC RPO car, which made it roll better and made it more stable. The only problem though, is that they'd be a little more obvious in a car with more windows. Painting them black would be one option (defacing government coins FTW). What else have you guys used to weigh down train cars?

My friend just got a hookup on a supply of those stick on wheel weights. They weigh 1/2 a ounce and two of them in car will usually do the trick. Lately I've been keeping them low as possible and I usually put them right on top the trucks inside the car. This seems to yield the best riding results.
As far as cheaper things. Washers and I've even seen nails used in one of my older boxcars haha.
