Does anyone have a suggestion on how to add weight to Walthers Mainline 85' passenger cars?

Thanks,

UP RS3?

I have a Kato RS3 (N scale) decorated in UP livery. I really like this loco but I’ve been unable to find any reference to UP having an RS3 on its roster. If they didn’t own any RS3s, are there any other RS type locos owned by UP that the RS3 could credibly stand in for? My model doesn’t have a road number so if you could provide one that would be a real help. Thanks guys.

ESU Decoder List - N Scale

I could not find a decoder list that listed the ESU decoders by locomotive like the Digitrax website so I turned to MRH but could not find anything through the search bar.

Would anyone be able to point me to a list of which ESU decoders are best suited for which locomotives?

I'm primarily using Atlas, Kato, Atheran and Intermountain locos.

Rail fanning drones and research for scenery

Was trawling YouTube, as you do when doing research. Came across this channel. Nice mix of drone rail fannings. 

Much better aspect than the old standard, stand by rails. Especially helpful  since you can see the tops of the railcars( for weathering) And for scenery research colour,depth, texture etc
