That's the point: you need some luck to get it out of the base without damaging
it. I have tried 4 times so far and in 2 times the magnet was broken...
But If you have two waggon bases with only one magnet each it is better to try
it and make one intact waggon base out of two, instead of having two defected
ones... If the magnnet brakes you will still have two defected waggons.
Good luck!
