<p>Weight comparison:</p> <p>Athearn Genesis GP7 w/Hep: 11.3oz</p> <p>P2k GP7: 15.2 oz</p> <p>Atlas Classic 16.2oz</p> <p>My layout is currently down for exensive modification, so I have no way of testing it again. This locomotive was fortunately used for commuter service, so I should not have to worry much about the pulling power.</p> <p>Edit: Good news, the fuel tank has a 1/4" wide by 1" long void space, time for lead..</p> <p>Edit 2: Was able to get .5 oz in the fuel tank. New weight 11.8oz. I might be able to squeeze in another .5-1oz in the void space above the sides of the fuel tank.</p> <p> </p>
