| | | | | (...) 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)
