Hello,

I am new to the trains section of Lugnet.
I recently bought some second hand train stuf from the seventies
(blue track era) including some trainbases with wheels on metal
axles and a blue and red magnet.
Some have the magnets broken off or even missing, while others
have the axles bended. I thought about taking the best bases
(with the nonbended axles) and equip thise with the magnets
from the bases with benden axles.
Does anybody know how I can remove the magnets from the trainbase
without causing damage (the magnets including the red or blue
holder, thus not seperating the actual magnet from the holder).

Niels

It is possible for force them through the hole; after all that is how they got there in the first place. It is a bit hard to do and might need some special tooling, but possible. I hate to do it myself. S Niels Karsdorp <nkp.nkp@hetnet.nl> wrote in (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.trains)
