Where to buy lead (or other) weights for HO locos?

Rob, you may be able to get sheet lead from either a plumbing supply or from a roofing company. It should be available in various thicknesses and is easy to cut with either a utility knife or tin snips. I get mine from an outfit in Hamilton which makes decorative lead urns.
Lead is also very malleable, so you can hammer a lump of it into a sheet, then cut it up as required.
There are some tips on adding weight to locos HERE and a simple how-to on casting your own weights HERE.
