One of the more forgotten tools of the hobby, Scales. Sometimes you want the the best balance or just enough weight to have a car roll just right, or even need to make sure your engines are heavy enough to drag your stock.

On the left we have a Dymo scale that can be found in the mail/shipping/crafts section in walmart for around $20. The scale works good, though I've lost my calibrated weights to test the accuracy of it. Believe it goes up to 3lb.
On the right is a cooking scale, many different makes and models of these and can be found anywhere for less than $10, and even just a buck at thrift stores. Goes up to 1lb. 8-)
