question about Red Caboose Drop Bottom Gondolas (something of a weighty issue)

It's not a big problem once you've remembered buying a bag of (slightly less diameter than) 1" nuts at the hardware store. I glue two of them in my red caboose and IMRC boxcar kits. Went to great lengths to ensure they are _exactly_ in the middle. Now they weigh about 110 grams, plenty. <br>[IMG]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g68/limosalimosa/scrt%20prjct%203/DSC_1767.jpg[/IMG]<br> I'm still looking for another large bunch of these kits in suitable roadnames on ebay, I find building them very relaxing and rewarding.<br><br>good luck,<br>Rik<br><br>ps as to the screws for the trucks, they are a bit difficult to get them in straight down. I rather do this _before_ assembling hte rest of the car as you do need to exert some force. Then take them out again. When the car is all ready, the screws will go in easily.<br>
