As stated by other folks, I also use the automotive stick on wheel weights that I purchased from my local tire shop. A box should last most modelers a lifetime. I think that the box I bought was 25 lbs and I have given a lot to others and still have a bunch left. With more effort being putforth today by the manufactures to make the frieght cars to NMRA wieght standards I do find that I need less weights than in previously . I can say that a weighted train can really add realism to your operating sessions as you must plan on train weight and the power needed either in headend or in helpers. <br />Greg Short
