is there toom for more weight?  if so, does the loco have  traction tires? if so, more weight is not a good iea as the drive wheels must be able to slip or the motor can burn out.  gj

Ernie-

I get most of my model railroad weights out of my pocket. Pennies are the
cheapest and easiest to use weights I know. Just hold them in with some
plastic-safe silicone adhesive or caulk.
