I go to the autoparts store and get Mr. Gasket Self Adhesive Wheel weights which are lead strips with tape on them already. You can easily cut and stick on just the right amount. When adding weight its of utmost imporance to keep them balanced so they don't lean and the trucks are carring the same load. If you had a box car that was 2 ounces short and you put it all in one corner you just made it worse. Put 1 ounce in each end. Also, keep the weight as low as pratical. [i] Let me rephase that, add it to keep the center of gravity as low as pratical.../i] FRED
