<P>I usually leave the Atlas cars alone, especially the 36' and 40 footers.</P> <P>I like my rolling stock to be between 3-4 ounces for 40 footers or less and just enough extra on the larger ones to hold them to the track.</P> <P>Some cars behave well enough that they dont need weighting. Others are light as a feather and need an anvil inside to stay on the rail.</P>
