They sure are strong!
I am not complaining about my missing magnets. I knew this when I bought
them (usually in low cost mixed bags at car boots)
Except there is no way to acquire them - the ones with the pegs that is.
They only come with the buffers - so who would give up just the magnet?
The older wheels are not a problem I find. They might not look so elegant in
terms of the surround, but they do the job. And the spokes might be nice on
an old style train.
