Right near 200 tons a copy, as an average, for GM and GE in the US.
Four units in multiple, 800 tons. When I last looked, 10 units maximum, lite engine (no cars).

Around 100-150 tonnes is a typical UK and Europe ballpark figure.
But note that Multiple Units are much more common for passenger use these days.
