<P>Seems to me that I've read something about a two ounce average but I can't remember. I use Kadee and McHenry couplers and would like to know what the correct weight figure is to make these couplers work correctly. Most of my older cars seem heavy enough and some are possibly too heavy such as some old cast metal cars from Roundhouse. I have seen some cars for sale on ebay that have been weighted to 4 and 5 ounces. Is that too much? I have not weighed any of my own so I can't say where mine fit in but I know when one feels too light and it's pretty obvious that the builder did not use any weights. What do you guys recommend for average weight? Thanks for your help.</P> <P>Bill</P>
