I'm wondering how you would use a mag-lev method to motorize the train on these rails, something like (URL) this> that was created in Europe. Paul Sinasohn LUGNET #115 (...)

Tony Hafner's (URL) 2-Wide Diesel Freight Train> is a great example of a train using this technique. The (...) (19 years ago, 7-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

As Marc mentioned, the track is made up of door rail pieces with tiles on top, fit snugly into the space between the wall of a 1 x 2 panel and an adjacent brick. See the picture below.

| Mr.Allemann, you are a god among men. Both in terms of your uncanny good looks and your uncanny Micro skillz. Meeting you at BrickFest was a moment that I'll wish I'd never forget (yet might, cuz I totally sloshed). -Lenny (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

| Looks amazing! What is the dk grey piece you used for tracks? This is one of the best odd-piece solutions I've seen in ages, perhaps ever : ) God Bless, Nathan (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

It amazes me how just a tiny line increased the visual separation of black parts. I may have to use this technic in the (...) (19 years ago, 5-Oct-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.castle, FTX)

| A nice collection of MOCs, I won't comment on which is best... ; ) Seriously; I like the drawbridge chains, a nice use of a 'town' part. One of these days I'll have to try a micro castle...

Cool moc, one question about the photo above, The black drawbridge cables seem to have a fine white fringe around them (especially the near one) that really helps distinguish them from the black drawbridge itself.
