Manufacturer description

We often need to check loco performance because the electrical pickups are not great. Temporarily adding some extra weight is a huge help, making Weight Mate a very useful aid for anyone who works on their locomotives.

Weight Mate is a soft, mouldable fabric bag filled with lead shot that can be placed on top of most N scale or larger locos to see if adding weight will help OR to greatly improve pickup while using your DCC programming track.

It is safe and simple to use as it will not fall off or damage fine detail.

Still not sure? It is also a “Win-Win” purchase, because if you find that you do not use it often enough after purchase, it contains enough fine lead shot to add significant weight to many of your locomotives… and the small but heavy pellets will fit easily in hard-to-get-to places.

Catalogue listing

DCC Concepts Weight Mate (DCT‑WMT) is a DCC installation aid designed to add temporary weight to locomotives during performance testing. The product consists of a soft, mouldable fabric bag filled with fine lead shot, which can be positioned on top of most N‑scale or larger models to improve electrical pickup on a programming track.

The bag is safe and easy to use; it conforms to the locomotive’s shape, will not detach during handling, and does not damage fine detailing. In addition, the lead shot can be removed and reused to add significant weight to other locomotives, making the item versatile for owners who require occasional weight adjustment.
