(...) Oh, I had no intention of using 2x4 bricks to add counterbalancing weight (unless, of course, they were magnet bricks). They just happened to be handy for a weight estimate, but using them permanently would have caused some of the same (...) (17 years ago, 6-Jul-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I tend strongly towards the "purist" end of the spectrum, but when my son really wanted to make a LEGO trebuchet I couldn't bear to dedicate my weight bricks to a project that I feared would never be disassembled (it still hasn't). Instead we (...) (17 years ago, 6-Jul-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I 2nd what Ted is saying. At Brickworld the LEGO REPs told us that they are aware of the color issue and have corrected it. TLC changed the way they make the bricks. Before they would use a batch of "colored plastic" and send that into the (...) (17 years ago, 5-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)

(...) This reply may be useless for you since you got the weight brick, but it can be useful for those who don't have any: Brick 2x4 is not the ideal part for adding weight because it's hollow. Plates have definitely more ABS per volume unit. 24 (...) (17 years ago, 5-Jul-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Thanks Tony... However, I don't think my LDD Dreyfuss Hudson really counts (I have to say that LDD attempt was lacking in a lot of areas since improving my train building skills). To be frank, I abandoned building the Dreyfuss in real-life and (...) (17 years ago, 5-Jul-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Q: How much would a weight brick weigh, if a weight brick could weigh weight? A: Pretty much half of what I needed. I got two weight bricks today, and while they may not be the exact perfect amount of counterbalancing, they are sufficient for the (...) (17 years ago, 5-Jul-07, to lugnet.trains)
