Has anyone looked into the feasibility of building a switcher with an
electromagnet? It seems to me it would be simple, excluding the switch for the
circuit. The switch would need to be remote to allow freedom of movement to the
engine. The batteries and switch could be incorporated into the engine hood. It
would probably need to be a long-nosed, aft cab engine. The wiring would be
simple but the actual magnet would have to be custom made and fitted to the
trucks.
Any ideas?

| (...) I brought this idea up in lugnet.robotics a while ago. I'm interested in building an RCX controlled switch engine. The vague plans floating around in my head now involve cannibalizing a relay with the right specs to be driven by an RCX output (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
