As far as the hazards in lead, lead is hazardous ONLY is you ingest it. Wash your hands THROUGHLY after using it and you'll be fine. Lead shotgun shot makes good weights. You can pour it in place and glue it with white glue, water, and alcohol. As for weighing down cars, I've come to believe in using actual loads. For instance, the corret weight of a coal car is only achieved if you fill it with coal! Mark in Utah
