<P>The above chart shows 3 different ways of calculating weights.&nbsp; All three use the prototype length.&nbsp; The first is the NMRA formula, the second is by an individual and the third is the Belmont Shores Club.&nbsp; The difference at 40 feet is almost negligible, but become more significant as the length of the car increases.</P>
