Not really meaning a conflicting thread here. I just shipped a Lionel Allegheny. Without packing it was 18 pounds. With packing it weighed in at 24 pounds........I wonder how much a 3rdRail articulated weighs?

Hi
The two 3-rail engins that I had bought one was PRR Q-2. 4-4-6-4 the weight for shiping was 22.50 pounds and the outher was a PRR Q-1. 4-6-4-4 witch was 23.0 pounds
hope this helps both are big engins.
Unless there is weight added (typically a big piece of lead in the boiler), a brass model
of a given steamer will always weigh considerably -less- than the die-cast version of it.
Brass is thin and boilers are hollow. The brass Williams (Samhongsa) Niagara contains
a really big cylindrical lead weight above the drivers. (I've been all through mine, so that's
a fact.)
My Weaver brass NKP Hudson is way too light and slippery, and will get some lead. One day.
