(...) I did some looking around BrickLink and found the what their scales read for the 2x6x2 weight brick and a 2x4 brick- 2x6x2 = 53.3 grams 2x4 = 2.32 grams So... 53.3/2.32 = just under 23 (22.9 something) Meaning it takes 23 2x4's to equal one (...) (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Huh. Never noticed that Bricklink offers weight listings for parts. Interesting. (...) Helps very much. It means that the two weight bricks I have on order will weigh more or less the equivalent of 46 2x4 bricks, which is probably close enough (...) (17 years ago, 29-Jun-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 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)
