Making trains out of cardboard is impressive. It's hard enough making tiny things out of high impact styrene, sanding & painting.


I never thought of magnets for traction. Increased mass, traction tyres & magnet would be the ultimate, maybe other than a rack. That would be a challenge in itself.

This will be on the to do experiment list (probably ahead of projects that should be finished first!) even though I will not rip up my track as doing ballast is a pretty painful & time consuming task on Z gauge & don't want to do it a second time. But some steel under the track (probably gradients only uphill worth doing) & magnet in the bottom of the loco might just be enough.

I have previously bought some neodymium magnets for a GPS custom mount in the car which has a gap of about 6mm, but are much larger. Works brilliantly.

Be very careful with larger neodymium magnets as they will crush fingers if they clamp at speed. Dangerous things.
