There are commercial loads available. The company/manufacturer excapes me at the moment, but I know they're available.

Make your own.  A dollar worth of foam rubber, some white glue and some ballast and you're in business.  Also, the soft foam loads are easier to "load and unload" than a rigid casting.

Plus, you can use the same ballast in the car that you use on your track... so the color will match!
