Don't be fooled by the light weight of the Plymouth, this is a test run I did with our new Plymouth. 7 free rolling cars, weighted to NMRA recommnded practice, on level track.

Thank you Mike. I assume that's the Roundhouse switcher, not the Walthers. Dan --- Never mind. Just caught the link!

According to a review in the September, 2008 MRR, they weigh 3.6 ounces.

I'm interested in the Roundhouse Model 40 four wheel switcher, and the Walthers Plymouth one. Does anyone who has either of these have a scale and wouldn't mind posting the weight of the actual model? please and thanks, Dan
