Hi Guys,
I was just wondering if you have a weight range for rolling stock? The boxcars and heavyweight passenger cars seem really heavy. I'm sure it helps to keep them on the track but it does limit the length of a consist. I've pulled all the weights out of the passenger cars and have no derailment problems at all. Sadly looks like the Greenvilles are glued closed.

The Greenville comes in at 21.5g: lower than the heavyweight 25g, heavier than the 19g Superliners, about the same as the high box and auto racks.

These Greenville cars are really big, almost look Nn3 scale but looking at pictures of the real deal looks right. makes my GP7 look tiny.

Fully agree with you, Dave,
Was my first impression, too.

Best,
