Rolling Stock Weight standard

I would like to know the recommended weight for O-scale rolling stock cars. I imagine the weight varies with car length.

My plan is to weigh and identify any of my rail cars that are too heavy or too light. For the cars that are too light, I will add weight as needed, generally over the trucks. My goal is to avoid unnecessary derailments, especially on corners where light cars can be "lifted" off the track.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
