One of our members, Redhawk 95, posted a topic which eventually included a question as to whether he should put tungsten putty in a loco to add weight.
Huh?
I've known that Tungsten is WAY heavier that lead. I didn't know it was available as a powder or putty until his question prompted an internet search of the product.
My usual go to product to add weight is sheet lead, shot or wool. But there are some small locos where space is so limited that anything that could be done to add concentrated weight would be a viable option (except platinum!).
Has anyone used tungsten putty or powder (sold to golfers) to add weight? How does one secure the powder? The putty is pretty user friendly, so the sellers say.
Thanks, Redhawk 95 for the tip.
