Have you checked out our NON-HAZARDOUS body putty? That's right! It's
a water based putty that you mix prior to use. Just mix one part putty
powder with one part of our Weight Bond glue, and stir until you get a
thin paste. Use for small seams and small holes. Will accept both
solvent and water based paints. Kit #7707
has everything you'll need, including stirring sticks, and mixing cards.

What are weight upgrade kits?
Adair Shops
TM is the home of thin weights for contemporary
HO, N and On30 cars. Our weight upgrade kits are specifically designed to fit a wide variety
of car kits and RTR cars from today's manufacturers such as Athearn*, Accurail*, Red Caboose*,
Walthers*, and Roundhouse*, just to name a few. When assembled, your cars will meet or exceed recommended NMRA weight
requirements. In addition, the weight segments will, in most cases, not show... not
even in open cars. Some of our kits even allow for full interiors and lighting.
Each kit is composed of custom manufactured metal weight segments along with detailed
instructions and an assembly layout. The weight segments are machined to size and
ready to install.
Our specially formulated glue bonds the weight segments to the car kit's body or frame
without attacking the plastic. If you make a mistake, simply remove the weight segment
with a dental type instrument. Each shipment includes enough glue to assemble the
kits in the order.
As for painting, our weight segments will accept both lacquer and water based paints,
although water based paints are recommended.
Please feel free to browse our web site and on-line catalog. If you have any questions,
send us an email at
info@adairshops.com.
We look foward to serving you and providing a product that allows you to operate your
trains like the prototype. Thank you.
