Hey, A couple of years ago, I built the (URL) Tilt Train> and James Mathis came up with a (URL) great idea> on how to simplify the tilting mechanism.

(...) 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 (URL) on the track and (URL) under the train body. Paul Sinasohn (...) (18 years ago, 22-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
