Title: Track Magnets?
Post by: Pops on February 10, 2012, 09:18:56 PM

Hey Gang -
After some of the discussions here, I ask this with trepidation, but here goes -

I purchased a bunch of EZ Track on ebay. The track shipment included a rectangular magnet, approximately a couple of inches long, in a cellophane bag. What is this for? How is it used? And, where/how is it mounted or placed?

??? :-[

Thanks guys -
That really helped.

Now, after that print out, plus the video link, I am flush with a depth of knowledge on magnets for uncoupling that I could only imagine just a short while ago. ::)

(wound up spending over an hour surfing from vid to vid - thanks Jerry)
