alpineaustralia Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 It had to happen eventually: http://japanese-model-supplies.com/Maglev/ although not commercially available at present - I reckon it is only just a matter of time! Link to comment
Bernard Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I had seen a photo of this once before and didn't know what it was. It's an interesting model but, just looking at it's length, how could it make a turn? The radius of a curve it seems would have to be extreme. On my layout the largest radii is 22" and that takes up a lot of space. I enjoyed reading the blog! Link to comment

Martijn Meerts Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think the liquid nitrogen might be a bit problematic =) Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Nah, just change the warning labels to "Not recommended to anyone without a HAZMAT certification" :P Link to comment
Bernard Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Fascinating video, so that how it works and the possibilities of the areas you can run the train on. I always thought it worked on just a magnetic field. Link to comment
