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...
