There should be nothing in a throttle that would be damaged by a magnet glued on the back. Now, taking a magnet and rubbing it back and forth against the case of the throttle on the other hand....

I use a velcro strip to hang my Zephyr on the side of the layout.

I'd be veryt careful with a magnet also - velcro may be a better choice!!
So far I've had no ill effects of the magnet on the back of the throttle.

First up, I'm happy to see a picture of CVP products - I often feel from the "which DCC is best" discussion, that I'm one of the few to use it!.
Secondly, there are no electronics inside of the throttle that can get cooked by the magnet?
I'm trying to model 1956, not live in it.
I use Velcro strips for my throttles. I've got a RIX re-railer, and that's a great idea for that, too.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Looking for an inexpensive and low profile hanger for my handheld throttle and uncoupling tools, I came up with this:
I picked up a steel electric box cover plate, and painted it a close match to my fascia. I stuck a magnet to the back of the throttle. The Rix uncoupler is already magnetic and sticks by itself.
