TED  Your auto rack trains are super long ad what avariety of equipment and loks lke a lot of walters...Moving the ato racks sure ook share on any layout out..good shiw ...thanks...

Very impressive and refreshing without grafitti all over them.  I hate that vandalism on railroads.

Hi Ted,
So can I ask how much weight do you add to these Racks please?
I look forward to your reply. BTW That layout looks great, sorry if this question has been asked
before but I might have miss it and I just readed your other post and where to put the weight inside because of shorts ETC.
Many thanks and best regards
Brian in New Zealand..

I just go by the NMRA standards, which is a 0.5oz per inch of body length and an additional 1oz which works out to be 7.25oz on these autoracks. After adding metal wheels and Kadee couplers, the old Walthers kits usually only needed an additional 0.25oz.
