Weight for rolling stock

[trollw]

Several options are: used lead weights salvaged from the local tire installation shop (they usually just throw the old weights away) - just cut them down to provide the weight you need, scribed lead weights from the LHS, pennies out of your piggie bank. I have attached them using: double-sided foam tape (like you use to hang mirror tiles), silicon caulk. I generally put all the pieces of the car (if it is a kit) on my scale, then start adding weights until the total is correct. Then I install the weights wherever it makes sense during the build process (ideally low in the car and distributed 50/50 over the bolsters).

What is a good material to use to increase the weight of rplling stock?
How do you fasten it in place?
