How much do these critter models weigh?

I’m interested in the Roundhouse Model 40 four wheel switcher, and the Walthers Plymouth one. Does anyone who has either of these have a scale and wouldn’t mind posting the weight of the actual model? please and thanks, Dan

According to a review in the September, 2008 MRR, they weigh 3.6 ounces.

Thank you Mike. I assume that’s the Roundhouse switcher, not the Walthers. Dan — Never mind. Just caught the link!

Don’t be fooled by the light weight of the Plymouth, this is a test run I did with our new Plymouth. 7 free rolling cars, weighted to NMRA recommnded practice, on level track.
