Yes John, you then have seen me from the neck down. On the other hand
all that extra "belly" ballast keeps me from tipping over when I lift
those heavy modules! I don't think the type of rail used is important
but perhaps the lighter Woodland's Scenic walnut type ballast might be
better than the Arizona real rock type. After all a few pounds of real
rock ballast is a few pounds we have to carry around. I haven't done a
final weight measurement of the two units I built, but I suspect we're
right at 30 lbs for a 6' length, while our older units are likely twice
that weight.
