Magnetizing N Scale Engine Wheelsets for Better Rail Contact?

I have three Life-Like SW-9s in which I installed NWSL wheelsets, Digitrax decoders, AND front and rear headlights. They look great but by removing the interior weight necessary to install the decoder and lights, electrical contact with the rails is poor. <br /> <br />I was wondering; has anyone ever tried magnetizing N Scale engine wheelsets so they are "attracted" to the rails? In theory, I think, that would improve electrical contact with the rails. But would that interfere with the decoder or the data packets in the rails? <br /> <br />Thom MacColl <br />Rocky River, OH
