[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by flee307 [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by NTDN [quote] Actually that'll make it worse to, if you want to add 2 ounces of weight, you'd place it right in the middle between the trucksequal distance from the sides, placing it on the ends will throw it out of wack on curves as one end will be slightly heavier than the other on entering them, thus a derail is prone to happen. Balancing it by putting the weight in the \center of the car evenly distrubutes the weight across the entire car and both trucks, minimizing any dangers of going into curves. Jay. [/quote] That makes em look terrible if you run doors open as I do. You center 1 ounce over each truck was what I ment but didn't say. I have not found this to cause any problems. FRED [/quote] Ah that makes more sense, Over the truxcks works well, but if toy center it in the car, you can disguise it as frieght as well, so with those doors open it looks good. Mike I thought he wanted them in the far extremes, not over the trucks, over the trucks or in the center is best. Thanks, Jay.
