Oops - 1/2 oz per inch - I was using 1 oz. - must have been the faulty calculator. I seem to recall a standard of x base + y per 10 foot. That change or am I halucinating? :) ken On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 12:51 AM, Lee Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: Jeffrey /Ken, The NMRA Recommended Practice (RP-20.1) for S scale specifies 2oz. + 1/2 oz. per inch. Therefore, the 9.5 inch hopper would weigh 6.75 oz., not 11-12 oz. I normally add about 1 oz. to my PRS cars, and this gives me about a 6.5 oz. car for a 40 foot box car.
