Hello. I think I have your cure. On the bottom take a drill bit and drill a hole, let say dead center or wherever is not noticable fill the car with a few ounces of bird shot lead, found at most hunting places. fill the hole with whatever works. If it is hidden you could even use clear window caulk, found at any hardware store. <br /> <br />You'll want to lightly shake car to center the weight before putting it on the tracks, and after any future derailments you may have.
