  I've always fancied a go at Magorail. I'm just not brave enough yet! Really enjoyed watching this video.

  Hi. <br>Try spraying a little silicon lubricant in the track runners and a small amount of silicon grease on the pvc driving cogs to reduce the friction on the mechanism and noise. <br>Enjoyed that one too!

  Teflon spray on the track and chain will quiet the noise, and alleviate any binds. Silicone lubricant on the axles/wheels of any vehicle will ensure minimal power can be used and get maximum life out of cars.

  Looks good. I realise this would mean changing what you&apos;ve already done... but to avoid warping of joints in the card in future, what not try replacing it with (or laying over the top) a roll of lining wall paper. You might get away with a single sheet covering the lot. I&apos;d at least seal it with matt varnish.

  You need a compass. Run the compass along the track and you’ll find the magnet when the need points down.

  In my experience with these magnorail systems, it’s best to use plastic card, as opposed to cardboard. This lessens surface resistance both against the track and above as well. You seem to have ironed things out, but you may want to consider this if you decide to re do the system at some point.

  Sorry - forgot to add that you can get the wheels turning by doing away with the sliders and attaching NeoDymuim magnets directly to the chassis but not touching the roadbed. This may mean drilling a small cavity into the chassis to get the clearance however the magnets will still. pick up the track magnets and the the vehicle wheels will be the only thing touching the roadbed.

  I enjoyed watching the video and some very good info in it, but please slow down the camera movement, or switch it off and back on when you get to the next item. Thank you.

  Such a fascinating video!! &nbsp;Your presentation makes a highly-technical project understandable and riveting to watch. &nbsp;You have excellent N-scale engineering skills and have given me ideas for my own layout. &nbsp;Absolutely gobsmakingly cool!! 👍
