Is it possible to make an entire frame from lead? I have a small electric locomotive ( known as an ALP46), that has no commercially adaptable frame for it that i can find (bachmann's HHP-8 has the right wheel base, but is otherwise wrong). Because it is small, i wanted to add as much weight as possible, especially considering these are known to pull 12 car trains of large bi-level commuter cars.
would it be wise to use lead, or should i pursue other options for a frame and maybe use lead to help make it heavier?
