Good Sat morning info. After my coffee I'm heading off to our first train show in 20 months. Hope to have some pics on Facebook tomorrow,

Hi ya Roy, another great quick tip. I like all the products you have shown. There seems to be a product for every situation. My favorite one so far is the Liquid Gravity. Thanks. See ya next time.

great idea, i use to use old pennies, or pebbles way back in the day. hehe. .Amazed at all the new products being released nowadays, thanks for the tip!

Great video Roy. Thanks for sharing the methods and products you use to improve the performance of the freight cars. Very useful info👍

I use recovered secondhand lead roof flashing - easy to cut with a large pair of scissors and a lot cheaper than the commercial products. Very to hammer flat, too.

Good advice Roy. To remove any loads from your cars add a small magnet or magnetic substance stuck to the underneath of the load. For fast off scene removal a small magnet will enable you to get the loads out quickly. Cheers, Bovb

Great tips, Roy! Would love to see more quick tip style videos.

Another excellent video Roy. Thanks

Looks Awesome Mr. Roy.. like how you added the shot to the Car...

THANKS ROY!!! I’ve always used tungsten but now I’m off to find “Liquid Gravity”, what a great idea and like the professional says, “Looks like a leftover load”. I’m sure it can be painted or weathered to look like a remnant of whatever it hauls. Need more white glue, thanks for reminding me LOL

Nice video , Roy! Thank You!

Good video Mr. Roy😉👍

Those are great tips.Thanks for sharing!

What I have discovered and have been using where I can is air nailer nails, they come in different lengths and you can snap them apart to get your desired weight. If I have to tier them I use a cheap 2 way foam tape from the dollar store.

Nice work. I hadn't had a good explanation of the Liquid Gravity product before. Delux makes some fascinating stuff but they are a bit hard to get in the US. Nice to see some attention to the freight cars. Once you get the weights and trucks, then we'll work on deleting all those boxcar running boards :-)

Roy, nice tips for adding weight. Thanks for sharing. Rich

Great video 👍 thanks for the tips.

You can also add self adhesive wheel weights from an auto parts store and birdshot from a gunshop. Low temp has been used by some but precautions should be taken to prevent burns and melting plastic. Brass bar stock, steel weights, and fishing sinkers used to crimp on fishing line are good too.

I've used lead shot (I reload shotgun shells, hence my source of lead shot). Add some glue or epoxy, and there you go.

I don't do N scale as I do HO & 027 Lionel. I use tire weights I get from Harbor Freight in 1/4 & 1/2 oz. which I hide under the loads of my gondolas & flatcars. I only use metal wheels and body mounted Kadee couplers for HO. Cheers from eastern TN

Good info on that car stuff roy.. thanks

Great tips Roy. I never heard of the Tungsten putty before. I just glue BB's for weights. Thanks for sharing. Dave

I have used a length of solder wrapped around freight car axels to add weight to empty "open-top-cars". Painted flat black you almost never know. Modeling one-half of a loads-in/empties-out set of industries I prefer to build two identcle train sets of cars, one loaded the other empty. Each "set" has the same "numbers" and weathering. This way I can "unload" the coal at the power plant hands-free in real-time just like the prototype. granted, the dump-house is twice as wide as the prototype however, unless you know what you're looking at you miss the sleight of hand trick going on. I like to keep the unit-train cars (of the same "type") all the same weight so they act the same. Not too worried if the car's weight is above or below the NMRA standard. (I prefer to be lower or at.) The important thing to me is how the train set handles the track work.

hi Roy... i like that liquid gravity...going to get sum... thx 4 sharing... vinny

I am going to try liquid gravity on my N scale tank cars. I aim for 40 gms or more on all of my cars if I can find the space. Thanks for the interesting suggestion Roy. I always enjoy your videos.

Great video Roy will need to check my weight on my passenger cars as I’m having derailment issues with them or the 15” radius was too small for 80’ Pullman cars

Doctors use barium sulfate to add weight. A problem may be that it is not water soluble at all. Just a thought!

I have had weight issues in the rd 4 n scale coal hoppers from exactrail. I will try your method with the liquid gravity. I do operations on coal trains from flood loader to power plant. I hope this will solve my issue.

Dooes anyone who models in N Scale NOT have those silver Southern gons? I seem to get them all the time!

When you cover weight, scribe it and paint it brown with some black. It will look like wooden flooring.

Hey Roy I am working two coal cars tie Gondolas on Union Pacific Ayer sub see them working on glue ties in next paint them brown paint on in them I weather the trucks and couplers look real thing I also been working my other cars make them real like lumber loads are easy if make video actually tell how do it

Roy there are some cars that do not come apart so i cant add weight to them .

WHAT ABOUT 85 FOOT PASSENGER CARS?
