HO Wagon Weight

Stanley wants advice from others in the hobby:

"Dear Readers. This question has probably been asked many times [and answered] but I am in the dark about what is an average weight per wagon [European] to hold to the track properly especially curves and turnouts? In other words: 40 ft.= total ounces per car. 50 ft.= total ounces per car. Thank you for all your help !"

Add your answer below.
