If you are casting your own, one trick that I have successfully
used in the past is to add weight to the resin part itself. Mid
size shotgun shot works well (not birdshot as there is not enough
space between the shot for the resin). I've also cast a steel bar
into a part.
I've been thinking about making some flat cars and my plan was to
add a flat bar into the casting for added weight and stiffness.
