[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jfugate I've found an even cheaper way to weight closed HO model RR cars - pennies. At about 10 per ounce, you can't find any cheaper weights. I super glue them onto the car floor before I put the shell on over it. [/quote] You can get 3 oz. of buckshot at your local gun shop for 1 oz. of pennies. A 25 lb. (400 oz) bag of shot is about $13.00. 10 pennies to an ounce for 400 ozs. is $40.00. Make a small puddle of white glue and sprinkle on the shot. When that's dry, seal 'em in place with a second coat of white glue.
