As it gets harder to find LGB stuff, I am thinking about substitutes. The loco magnets that we mount to the underside of LGB motor blocks are
becomming scarce. I have tried other miscellaneous magnets like door catch magnets, the little round but powerful magnets from Curtis Roeck, even
business card magnets. None of the above work reliably with LGB 17100 contacts. All Electronics has some magnets that are rectangular in shape like
LGB's, and have the north / south poles on the large flat sides, but may be too powerful. What type of magnet does LGB use, and where can I get some?
