I have used rice in my freight containers sitting on my flat cars, used up batteries wrapped up in tissue for my container cars, coffee grinds for my coal cars, and even real water in some of my tank cars that are actually water tight. With the heavy weight of the locs I run (metal frame), I don't like my rolling stock to be too light. <br /> <br />
