Mark & Ross Benz of BAYLUG created a working mag-lev train using lego train magnets. It canbe done, it just might get expensive if you use an all-Lego solution.

IIRC, they used http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2609 on the track and http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30159 under the train body.

(...) I've toyed with that solution, but how do you propel a hovertrain in LEGO? If it has something that touches the track, that would make it not fully hoverable... -Rob www.brickmodder.net www.lifelites.com (18 years ago, 22-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
