Here’s the latest video - Part 2 Weathering:
Enjoy!!
They are no longer using lead wheel weights as I understand it? What do they use now?
Lead weights are still available in some capacities, but for the most part they’ve been replaced with an alternative metal/alloy that is much more envrionmentally friendly.
We used both, depending on the type of rim. In addition to the different metals theyre were different types of weights. Hammer on/clip on, flat sticker style, and repair weights for rims that were way outta whack…
GraniteRailroader nailed it, the weights are lead or other metal.
If you walk through the tire center parking lot around 6pm you can find hundreds of little 1/4 and 1/2 ounce weights. Or you could ask someone working there for the used weights.
Thanks!

Love the detail in that first photo… waves in the pavement, sealcracked lines, uneven decking through the crossing.
You’re attention to minute details is superb.
Thanks Granite, but I can’t take all the credit. Things kinda just turned out that way!
Excellent modeling. I really enjoy what you are doing.
Thanks Nevin!
