Yeah, it wasn't electronics solder, but it sure wasn't pure lead. I think it was 50-50. If I had doublestacks and they were too light, I would certainly weight the lower container heavily since it sits between the trucks and has a lot center of gravity. But with TOFC on top of very small trucks... Since I don't think pure lead will give it all that much more weight, I don't know if I can get the solder out without damaging the car, and the screws on the bottom are pretty stripped already, I'm just going to go for metal wheels and see if that helps. @John, I'd be very surprised if you could see the nails because they're 2 inches long and inside the trailer body! [swg]------------------------------------------------- John, the video is great! What program did you use to edit it? The transitions are really great. Since you asked for feedback, here's a few things I'd change for the final version - take them or leave them. I'm very critical of my own work and know how to look for errors I've made, so keep in mind that these are very minor things from my detail-oriented eye. - First, I'd mention that your approach to deciding what railroad to model is only one way of doing it. Say something about how this ISN'T what to do for prototype or proto-lance railroads. That said, I do think that most teen modelers will be freelancing, and if not they'll already know what they want and won't need to plan their railroad this way. Your way is very logical and much more realistic than some railroads I've seen! - Also I'd fix the capitalization and punctuation in the end credits - there were some words in the middle of sentences that were capitalized for no reason and several sentences were missing punctuation at the end.- One last thing -- the video was fine, but the tinny mono-channel audio (which I assume was recorded with a point-and-shoot camera) was a bit lacking. Do you have any means to record the audio with a real microphone or actual video camera? Might help with the sound. Apart from those minor bits, it looked really professional and I'm looking forward to the next editions! Great job!
