2 topics actually: 1) Ive often though it would be cool to have moving cars/autos on my N scale roads, but obvious limitations abound. I saw an article where someone had cut a slit in the road and attached poles to the bottoms of the car and moved the vehicles that way. sounds ok, but i really hate to cut up my roads. I was thinking about magnets. anybody tried this? you could mount tiny magnets in the bottoms of the cars and use moving magnets under a thin styrene road ... cars would move without slits in road. just a thought. any other suggestions? 2) where can you find more modern N scale autos? Walthers catalog has mostly either really old stuff (1920's -1950's era autos) or a bunch of european stuff. the selection of modern N scale autos is scare at best. anybody know where to find them. maybe i could mold some for more quantity if i hade decent prototypes. micromachines look pretty fake if u ask me. Thanks in advance Chad
